""We, who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan."
Elliott Costa
1997 - 2008
Elliott, AKA lellie monster, was one of the best cats I've ever known. He was truly an ambassador for cats - especially to those who claim never to like cats, and he had a kind and amazingly loving heart. He will be forever loved and truly missed.

Hugs to you, C.
I've read your blog all week dreading this inevitable moment. Strength to you.
They say a parent should never have to bury a child, but for those of us with pets - we always do, don't we? Your quote is very apt.
Charissa, I'm so, so sorry. We lost our beloved dog a few years ago, and it was devastating.
*hugs* Thinking of you tonight and asking my friends up above to watch over Elliott.
I never met him, but I miss him. I'm so sorry for your loss, Charissa.
Very sorry to hear this. At least, Elliott won't be suffering any more.
Happy Trails, lil' fella.
Oh, sweetie. Hugs and love to you.
I love you. I know he heard you!
*hugs* Condolences from all of us here.
I am so sorry for this devastating loss.
May you both live in each others hearts forever, I see no other way than that for you! You are a wonderful Mommy! I loved your quote, it really hits home. Love to you, Elliott and Antonio..

Elliott had an extremely caring person looking after him, and I'm sure he never felt anything but love until the very end. Condolences for your loss.
Charissa, I'm so sorry. I hope you are hanging in there. He was a great cat, you did everything you could for him.
Best wishes to you, Charissa. I know I'll lose it when the inevitable day comes when I lose my Alley. Pets really are family. Hang in there. Elliott is in a better place where cats have all the catnip they could ever want.
