Noah Kelley

Noah was born on May 15, 1996. We got Noah August 15, 1996. He was such a pretty Maine Coon baby. His Mother & Father were of champion bloodlines. We got him as a pet because of our fondness of the breed.

Noah was a sweet loving boy. He greeted us when we came home, he slept with us at night, he waited on the bathroom counter when we showered, he loved to be loved. We loved to love him.

He has always been a very strong and muscular cat. We noticed in August he lost some weight & we could feel some bones we haven't felt before. We brought him to the Vet, they took blood tests and nothing really stood out. We changed his diet to help him gain weight but noticed he did not gain weight. We brought him back to the Vet & they did an x-ray. There was some cloudiness in his lungs. We tried 2 rounds of a liquid anti-biotic & brought him back for another x-ray. He was now breathing from his diagphragm, not his lungs. His lungs were even worse than from the first x-ray. The Vet said it was likely cancer due to his rapid weight loss. He lost 2 pounds from October 10, 2008 to October 28, 2008.

We felt the most humane thing to do was to let him go out with dignity & without any more suffering. Noah was put to sleep on October 28, 2008. He went to the Rainbow Bridge in Heaven where he will meet us again someday.

We love you Noah, we miss you so much, it hurts, but we know you are no longer suffering. We will see you again someday my sweet loving boy.

Mon cheri, vous vivrez a nos coeurs pour toujours.

Marina misses getting her head licked and her great baths you gave her. I told her I was NOT going to lick her head for her! LOL Her and Alex run around the house crying and looking for you. We all miss you very much. Mommy and Daddy misses you the most. I miss your kisses when I come home from work. You were always the first to greet us. You were always a very good boy, Noah. I miss you terribly.

Noah, Today is the first Saturday after your passing. I missed you coming into bed, putting your head in the window, walking the headboard like a balance beam to get to the middle window to jump up into it so you could gaze out into the backyard drenched in the warm sun.

I miss you especially in the mornings when I'm getting my coffee, and you come up to eat on the counter next to the coffee pot. Your food bowl is still there, Alex eats out of it occaisionally.

I miss your greetings in the evening when we come home from work. How sweet that was to see you after a hard day's work. These things will never be the same, just very pleasant memories of you that will live forever in my heart.

I love you, I miss you. Please say hello to Dingy & Tazi for us. Tell them we love them, we miss them & will see them too at the Rainbow Bridge.

Love Daddy

Hi Noah my sweet boy. I see Daddy posted to you yesterday. It's been a rough weekend. We miss you so much. You were always on my lap during the day. You always followed me in the bathroom. You always slept on my right thigh. Max has been coming in to bed with me lately. It seems like the other cats sometimes takes over traits when others have gone to Heaven. Patience did that when Tazi died. No kitty can ever take our place, Noah. You were very unique in so very many different ways. The pain of losing you is so great. None of the other kitties seem to give kisses as well. Cecil still calls your name. He's been saying it alot. Daddy even called Cecil Noah by accident. I called Gizmo Noah. Just shows you how much you're on our mind. We love you big boy.

Hi Noah,

Animal House called me today to tell me your ashes are ready to be picked up. I picked them up today after work, and I held them in my arms in the car & cried. I miss you so much, I still can't believe you are gone.

I love you,

Daddy

Hi Noah,

Mommy is crying. Again. I miss you so much. I thought of you at dinner. You always wanted on my lap and you tried to sit on the table waiting patiently for me to finish. You knocked all my papers down. I'd give anything to be able to have a pile of papers on the floor again, because of you.
Love,
Mommy

Hi Noah,

Happy New Year. Daddy and I are so glad to get out of 2008. It was terrible. We lost you and Mom & Dad. Terrible. 2009 has to be better. We miss you so much still, Noah. You're our good boy. Marina has taken over your spot. She sleeps with me in bed and she sits under the blanket on the couch.

Well, love you Honey!

Hi Noah,

Happy New Year. I had a few memorial plaques made, one for us & one for Grandma. The one for Grandma is where you were sitting on her lap in the chair the last time before you passed away. It made her cry, because she loves you so much. She thanked us for it as she can now remember you anytime & see your beautiful face forever.

The one for us was that first picture of you in our new dining room window. I called you & you turned around, looking so surprised! I snapped that beautiful picture of you. A memory frozen forever. Time stand still.

I hope 2009 will be a better year. In 2008 we lost Grandma Mucci, 4 months later Grandpa Mucci. The just over five months later, we lost you. I've never been so adamate for time topass me by, but I am so glad 2008 is over.

Happy New Year, my sweet loving boy. I will see you again in Heaven.

Love Daddy xxx ooo

Hello My Noah,

I miss you a lot more today. Does it ever end? Daddy misses you too. We have a beautiful poem with our favorite picture of you in a nice frame.

Tell Jesus Mommy needs him okay? Too much loss. Too much loneliness. I've already told Jesus to help me through this. He will.

All your brothers and sisters say hello. You were one loved cat Noah. You really were. We miss you.

Go play now Honey.

Love,
Mommy

To Daddy

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep. I meowed to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here". I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the cofee, You were thinking of the many times, Your hands reached down to me. I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me." Tonight you looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there. YOu sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew... In the stillness of the evening, I was very close to you. And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side. I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to see me.

I love you Daddy!!!
Noah, your boy

Hi Noah,

We sure do still miss you. Cecil still says your name. It's been 6 months since I said hi. I think of you so often though. We had to send more of your brothers and sisters to see you. We only have Skye, Alex and Marina left. Well boy, I love you.
