So sorry for your loss and pain.....you took her pain and made it your own, giving her the greatest gift of all.  My heart and thoughts are with you.

Ander35, I'm going make a video this weekend of me doing my "cat insertion" carrier technique.  I've had repeated success with it over many years of crazy cat ownership.  Nothing is guaranteed, but you may want to give it a shot.  Please note that I totally agree that having your cat WILLINGLY...

What a beautiful little man Zetsy was......your words are a beautiful memorial.  You took his pain and made it your own and by doing that, you gave him the greatest reward for all the unconditional love he gave you.  Your life is all that much richer for having had him in it for so long.  Bless...

Poor baby.  However, it DID give me a laugh thinking back, oh, 30+ years ago to my very first cat.  Runt of the litter at the shelter and she apparently had intestinal issues and I remember bringing her over to my neighbor's apartment and she started pooping in the living room so I picked her up...

I feel the same way as "Whatever".....I don't have any insight or advice to give and wish I did, but I wanted you to know how sorry I am for your loss and that my heart goes out to you.  Hopefully you can get some comfort from the fact that both of your babies appeared not to have suffered and...

What a coincidence!!  For the past year, my husband and I have been amazed how "string on a stick" (as we call it) has become the favorite toy of our 2 youngest cats (we have 4).  We don't even have a piece of twine on the end.....just the string that used to have a toy on the end.  And, yes...
