Oh no....I'm so sorry, I have always thought that cat was so beautiful.

Hugs from me to your friend.

I remember Splash. That is one well-loved cat. My heart goes out to her owner/s.

I feel for your friend. What a loss.
I don't even want to imagine having to let my feline baby go....

I remember Splash. I'm so sorry! I know it must be a difficult decision for her family. It's so heartbreaking to lose a much loved pet. My thoughts will be with them.

To Splash's family--may you find strength today. Know you are in my thoughts.

What you are doing is the hardest thing, but a final gift of love. Please find peace with your decision. You gave your kitty a wonderful life.

Sending prayers for a peaceful crossing to the Rainbow Bridge. Know that Splash will be restored to a healthy, whole body and be patting butterflies at the Bridge.

What you said earlier was a very wonderful and sweet, sweet thing to say. It's a great visualization to hope for.

I am sitting here typing this with one of my kitties draped across my lap. Hope I don't have to face this anytime soon. I can't even imagine.

My own cat is 7 years old, a third of Splash's age. Splash was always so inspiring to me as I hope I will have that much time with my own cat. I've been hugging the stuffings out of her since yesterday.


I haven't heard anything yet. I hope Jo and her family are alright. I'll keep everyone updated. I know all your support since yesterday means a great deal to her.

Torties are great, as is their torti-tude.

That's a truly great kitty. My thoughts are with her family.

I remember Splash!
Send my to Jo.

Please pass along my sincere condolences.

I'm so sorry to read this. I always loved that picture because she looks just like my 14-year old tortoiseshell. My thoughts are with her.

 

[LOVEDISNEYLAND]

sending lots of love. my thoughts and prayers are with them!

So sorry to hear about Splash. Many hugs to her owners. She is a beautiful cat.

Update: Splash has gone over.

I got this email today:

"We are home.
I held her in my arms the entire car ride & even when walking into the office. No carrier today.
They are so sweet & know us well there that they led us right into a room where we had more time before it was time.

Our regular vet wasn't there today - which we knew about beforehand. She said 21 cats years is about 106 people years. A good long life.

And like any good tortishell kitty with tortitude, she put up her fight right to the end. As much as she could anyway. She went quickly & peacefully.

Is now in kitty heaven where she is no longer in darkness & silence. No more needles [for daily IV fluids.] No more forgetfulness."




Thanks again for all the support. I'll pass it on to Jo & her DH. It was heartening for her to learn so many people here remembered Splash fondly.
