Mom here.
Texas went to the bridge last night. It was incredibly sad, but peaceful. We put him on his harness instead of in the carrier, and he actually enjoyed looking out the window on the way to the vet. He hadn't eaten all day though, nor could he really walk, so we knew it was time.
I can't believe he is gone. I keep expecting to hear him scratching at the door, or meowing about something. I miss him terribly. But he is free of this evil disease, and I am thankful for that. His blog here will remaing untouched. Feel free to visit me at my blog, I'll start posting there once I heal. And with such a great cat gone from my life, healing might take quite a while. Thanks everyone, for all you have done. We love you.
One last thing.
You all may remember Petey, who passed earlier this year. Well, on Petey's blog are links to some societies that are trying to cure this awful disease. If you would like to make a donation in Texas' or Petey's memory, the links are on Petey's site, and also here below.

I'm glad Texie's last journey was peaceful and he got to enjoy looking out of the car window. I will miss him very much. He was a brave fella and you are both good people for giving him the best of care.
*purrs*
My dear friends, I send you many purrs and head butts and would sit in your laps and purr and purr to comfort you. Texas was brave, so brave. And will be in Great Company at the Bridge.
I had not read your blog until recently, but it seemed like Texas was a very special kitty. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope that the support of all of your friends here in the blogosphere helps with your healing.
Even tho we miss our feline friends when they have gone to the Rainbow Bridge, remember the joy that they brought to us when they were here - it will help.
Sincerely, Tina

Sweety-pie Texas - your Dare is up! Say hello to our Anastasia at the bridge - she is the one who invented the Dares.....
Mom and I are so very sad at the loss of Texas. You were such loving parents to him and you must be hurting a lot right now. Mom said she cried for months and months when henry died (the little lilac point siamese she had before me) even though he lived to be nearly 20 years old.
Take care, and remember that Texas is pain free now and waiting for you by the bridge.
Hugs from Mom and me to you all.
I wish I had known Texas for longer. He was clearly a very special and brave cat and you are very special people to do so much for him and set him free to gain his wings when he needed to go to the Bridge. My thoughts are with you. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
All of us Good Cats send comforting vibes and purrayers.

Our momma donated green papers in memory of Texas to the Winn Feline Foundation. They'd like to send you a letter about it, but need an address. If you want to, could you email our momma at colleen.mcdonald AT comcast dot net so that she can send it to them?
If not, that's okay, too.
Purrs to you both,
Charlemagne and Tamar

We know your pain, well! Mom still misses Wizard so much and she still cries. He told us it was time to get his wings. It will take time to heal. Having another kittie, will help, but never replace Texas!
We are so sorry....
Big BIg hugs here...
Thinking of you today... hoping your pain has been eased somewhat by all the good memories left to you.
