My mum just phoned me to tell me her cat Boo has passed away. She was 23, so a fab age but still doesn't make it any easier. She had a stroke, dad rushed her to the vets and they tried to do everything they could but unfortunately her heart was too weak and he had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep. I remember the day we got her, such a tiny girl, she had had a bad start but mum soon changed that. Boo was the grumpiest cat ever until her old age when she just mellowed beyond laid back. I am so sorry for my mum and the beautiful girl who was only 4 years older than me.she had problems with a lump on her lip for a couple of years but she managed to overcome that and even the vet commented how amazing she was. My mum will be unconsolable for a very long time and she said her other cats are very clingy at the moment.Play happily on the rainbow bridge Boo, love you.xx
