Any opinions appreciated

I am crying with you now... I am so sorry, but sweet Tabitha knows how loved she was, how treasured she was and how much she will be missed... I too am glad you found this forum as we can give you any support you may need during this time.
It is a hard journey having to say goodbye to our loved ones, but as you said - remember the good times, the happy memories - treasure them and hold them close.

That is really all you can do. Slowly the pain will be replaced by the good memories.


RIP Tabitha

Please give your daughters a big hug for me. 14 is such a challenging age, and having a cat sure makes it easier. And at 8, the youngest was in those special years when a child and a cat make such magic together. No wonder Tabitha had the courage to face such health challenges - she had her young mistresses to think about.
I know the pain takes time to ease. I lost my Miss Tobie a year ago, this upcoming week, and even though I have 4 other kitties, she was "my girl", and I find myself still missing some of her special antics. Joey has done wonders in helping me get through this, but Miss Tobie still has a special place in my heart. It really helps me to read the other posts in this Crossing the Bridge forum, to remind me that my special girl is okay, playing happily over RB. Take Care, Susan

I'm so very sorry for you and your family. A good cry sure helps. My two sons grew up with are sweet siamese Tasha. She lived till 17 and two years ago we had to sadly put her down. We still miss her and mention her often. Just today I bought a chicken to roast. And I said to my hubby, when ever I buy a Chicken I think of Tasha. As she loved chicken and would sit patiently in the kitchen waiting for it to cook. She knew she would always get a bowl full.
They leave paw prints on are hearts that last a life time. Hugs for you and your family

How sad! Condolences to you and your family. What a loss, to lose a special kitty who was a family member for so long! Rest in peace Tabitha!

I'm so sorry for the loss of sweet Tabitha

Im so sory for your loss, may Tabitha Rest in Peace!

Your family has suffered a deep loss. It is so hard to lose a sweet little cat that our daughters have grown up with. I went through that when our little cat Nancy died in 1999. She was my daughter's cat for 15 years and my daughter was 23 when she died. We, too, had to have Nancy euthanized because of a cancerous tumor on her third eyelid. We both still miss her even though we each have two cats of our own now.

We send your family our condolences.

I just read this thread...and I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss. You will miss her so much....but you really did the right thing for her.
