Post by: galvo on December 26, 2010, 10:15:49 PM
I had to have my old puss put down to-day. We'd been best mates for 16 years.

Oh Galvo....

I'm SO sorry to hear that.... It's terrible when we lose our pawed people, but particularly when we have to make 'that' dreadful decision...   :grouphug;

Love....

Galvo, I am so sorry that you have lost your best friend. but think about it, I bet he had the best of every thing you could give him. What more could any cat wish for. A loving home, a loving friend.  :grouphug;

Oh no, Galvo...I am so sorry.  That must have been a wrenching experience.  How very sad!  Please don't let yourself be alone for too long.

I'm sorry Galvo.  It is hard to say good-bye to a good friend.  Maybe wait a while and then get another kitten.  It will bring a smile back on your face.

Aw, Galvo! Sad, sad news. I put my little fluffer nutter AJ down almost 4 years ago, same age as your puss.

Many, many hugs. He was a lucky cat to have you as a best mate all those years.  :cuddle;

Thanks for your kind thoughts, gang. He was a good old boy, and I saved him from being put down as a kiiten some 15 1/2 years ago. His time had come; the vet said he was just hanging on by a thread. Camilla is missing him.

Ahh, Galvo, I am so sorry.  I will snuggle a little longer with my cat tonight to honor yours.  They love us so much and ask for so little.  They are always there and happy to see us.   I know your heart is sad and your lap will be empty.   Hugs and sympathy to you.   :cuddle;

Sorry to hear galvo. I know how that feels with pets. Peoplewise, to me is easier for some reason.

Oh Galvo, you poor thing.  I imagine he spent most of his life loving the fact that he chose you to rescue him (because they do, don't they; we just have to pretend that we chose them!).

So sorry, the hardest thing is knowing that our pets will usually go before us and at sometime we have to accept that, but it is hard, they love us so unconditionally. Sometimes the best thing we can do to honor our beloved pet is to rescue another. If not for ourselves at least for them, there are so many abused and unwanted pets out there that need a loving friend.

Ay-ah, Galvo, I'm so sorry to hear this.  You may find Camilla comes into her own after her grieving is over, I've found sometimes that girlcats really blossom when they become the only cat.  Anyway.  Big cat-love to you.   :cuddle;
