God bless, Grant. I know you'll make the right decision; when the time is right. Sorry it has to hurt, though. I cried for two weeks when I put Sheba down in 2011. Still miss her. :-(

I've lost two cats in the last couple of months after many years of looking after them. There simply has to be a time to let them go for their sake, and not for yours. You owe them that for the years of faithful love they have given you. I have a pet empty house and it hurts, but they are both here and buried safely in the back garden, and I know I did the right thing by them.

Being a man who espouses a great respect for animals and their care, perhaps you might check the shelters for another suitable kitty to love?
I know I shall never be without kitty companionship as long as I live and breath.

Mark, there comes a time, when you just have to call it quits. I certainly won't adopt anymore, unless they adopt me. That door will never be closed.

Glad you and Lori have provisions in place and so have I. Not all are that fortunate.

Funny thing, when we got the dog, I was down at the corner rest. eating the worst meatloaf but I was reading the paper and they had toy poodles. So my GF and I went out to see them, she was on the floor and the dog came over and climbed up on her lap as like to say take me home. Well we did. :))
Cheers everybody

Uli...I posed it as a question for Chris.
I was just asking him if he might look for another kitty friend, not 'expecting' him to.
I know Chris holds all animals and those that care for them very dear.

Abby is now coughing worse. It's not Tracheal Collapse or the Mitral Valve Disease as it was w/ Isabella. We're at a loss.

It seems my buddy Homeless has either gotten into some fights or got careless. (HIt by a car, fell of a fence/roof) He is seriously messed up. Cookie and Midnight took my camera out of commission, so I can't take any pics.
He is just a visitor here. I can fund a check up, providing he let's me catch him. what I don't have is funds for the meds. I am sure, he will require some Antibiotics. I also don't think he is fixed.

If you can catch Homeless and get him to a vet, let me know and I might be able to help out a little with the bill.

Well, I hope he is OK and just laying low using one of his kitty lives to heal and recover.

So do I. Uli. It's not impossible someone else has taken him to the vets if he's one of those cats who shares his time between several homes :)
