Oh sweetie, I am so so sorry! I never knew her full story - how sweet. She's a beautiful girl.
I dread the day we ever have to make such a decision. My heart goes out to you. I know it's small comfort knowing she's pain free now, the pain in your heart is still there.
But she had a wonderful life with you - and though she was never a love bug, she knew love thanks to you.
Thanks very much, it is really sweet. She was gorgeous. I hope you dont have to make that kind of decision for a long time, I know it goes hand in hand with taking on oldies, so at least I have some comfort of knowing that I gave them that chance and they ended their lives in a happy, warm house, not a rescue. Have just had to tell the other two oldies (17 and 15) how lucky they are!! She certainly did know love, and that is very important.
It is two weeks today, and I have just come across an unexpected picture of Tiger, and made me feel a bit weepy. She does look happy in the pic though, so need to make myself realise that she had a good time here, for the most part, and while it would have been nice for her to see a second Christmas, at least she got one good one here
Bit of a sad week, as I got the final payout from the insurance company today. And I had to tell a friend yesterday and got upset, and still got one more person to tell this week, so am going to be in tears again then.
I admire you and a lot of people at this iste and what you do to help really sick strays and older cats. To take in older cats is such a blessing to them. Kudos to you.
