We lost Lestat to a blood clot in his lung 2/3/05. Thursday morning he started foaming at the mouth. A few minutes later he staggered into the bathroom and collapsed. I took him to his vet. An Xray confirmed a blood clot in his lungs. His lungs were almost completely full of blood, with only a few pockets of air and he was going into shock. The vet said she could possibly keep him alive a few days at most and then he’d die a painful death. She said if it were her kitty, she’d let him go. Lestat never liked to be left alone, and I could not let him suffer for days and die painfully, so I told her to do it. I held his paw and looked into his eyes while she gave him the injection. He went very peacefully. He was 10 years old.
Lestat was one of my best friends and my constant shadow for 10 years. I loved him ( and Madelynne) only second to my children. It's very hard to get used to him being gone. He would wait outside my bedroom door every morning and get in bed with me when I woke up. I've begun every day since Thursday with tears. I keep expecting to see him everywhere and he's not. I am sure with time I will feel better but his loss has been very painful for me. He was a very loving kitty. He loved all the animals, especially Madelynne and Cosette. He was the most intelligent kitty I have ever seen. There will never be any replacement for him.

This one always one of my favorite pictures. Lestat loved Cosette and always took care of her as if she was his own kitten. Madelynne and Cleo are grieving for Lestat but poor Cosette just keeps looking for him. She is very confused.
