farewell, sweet prince
Icon crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday, December 26 at approximately 7 pm in the care of his Vet. His condition was misdiagnosed on Tuesday. On Wednesday he went back to the Vet’s and was admitted to the hospital for observation — his health continued to rapidly decline.
On Wednesday paralysis started in his lumbar spine, and by Friday he lost almost all vision and had labored breathing. Icon had a neurological problem from which he could not recover.
Goodbye my love. I miss you already.
We are so so sorry!
Icon we will never forget you! Rest in peace!
many hugs and purrrs to your mom from alla us

Gosh … We hardly know what to say. We read about Icon’s passing at Skeezix’s. Icon was one of our first internet furriends and his crossing the Bridge leaves a huge hole in the blogosphere. He will be immensely missed. Our deepest condolences to his fambly an’ all of the furriends who will miss him. Our only consolation is that he’ll be in good company at the Bridge. We’re sure that the Feline Americans Who Came Before will welcome him and keep him company.

Wizard loved to have his face brushed. He loved to be brushed all over and even liked to have his fir brushed backwards! It is hard to beleive it has only been a month! Only time can heal the hurt of loosing a loved one. Know that he is running and playing with new and old friends at the bridge!
I haven’t been blogging much lately, so I was very saddened to learn dear Icon Baxter Bentley had gone to the Bridge. My purrs and thoughts are with you.

I am so very sorry that Icon has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. I used to visit fairly often, but haven’t been by in a very long time. You have my deepest sympathy.
We are sending our hugs and purrs for Icon….
When you are joyous look deep into your heart and you shall find that it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your heart’s delight.

I am so, so, so sorry that Icon had to go to the Bridge. I had no idea he was ill! Although I didn’t visit as often as I would have liked, I loved his blog and he was a sweet cat. He was among the first I met when I came across cat blogging, long before I had my own blog. My deepest sympathy. Don’t bottle up your grief. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} xxx

We are so sorry for your loss. Hugs and purrs from all of us.
