My cat has passed ***photo added (it works too)***

[phorsenuf]

Well, as you may (or may not) remember my sweet baby Milo was diagnosed with cancer and end stage kidney failure about a month ago. He had been doing real well and everyone has always said you will know when its time (to call for "that" appointment).
Yesterday he was outside soaking up some sun and seemed fine. We went out and when we came home he had taken a terrible turn for the worse. I didn't think he would make it through the night. He was still with us this morning.
I couldn't call the vet until this morning, because I had to wait for the furnace guy to show up for a repair.
Last night I had made Milo up a nice comfy bed and put it right next to his favorite chair. The furnace guy came and went but I didn't bother calling the vet because I could tell that it was immenent. I didn't want Milos last memories to be in some horrible cat carrier and the some cold steel table. He was comfortable and not in any pain, so I sat with him and stroked his head and talked to him. I told him how much we loved him and how special he was to us and would always have a special place in our hearts. (We rescued him from a ball field where some people dumped him as a baby 4 years ago. He's the only cat we've had that was not from the same family).
At 11:30am he quietly passed with me sitting by his side.

The children will be home later this afternoon and I must break the news to them. We are all prepared and the kids knew it would be anytime. It will still be hard though.
Thanks for listening as I ramble but it has made me feel better some.

We love you Milo!

I'm sorry. I know exactly how you feel right now. I wish I had words to comfort us both better.

Milo and Boo must be playing together right now.

So glad you could be with Milo & not have to take him to the Vet. I know my cat hates the carrier!

Always sad to lose a beloved pet.

As long as they aren't chasing a mouse!

IT's so sad to lose a pet...they truly become part of your family.

I'll send a hug your way.

 

[Rajah]

I'm so sorry. I think you did right, though.

Ugh, I am so sorry. I've lost 4 cats myself (I had them put to sleep due to illness') and it is SO very hard. They are part of the family. Big hugs to you during this time! Some may laugh at me, but I believe my cats are in Heaven now and happier than they've ever been.

I am sorry for your loss. What compassion you showed by letting him pass that way.

So sorry. He was such a young cat to go through all that, but you certainly gave him the best possible life.

It's always so hard to lose a furry friend. My sympathies.

Sometimes I wish kitties lived as long as humans.

I'm so sorry to hear about Milo. We've had our kitty for 9 years and I just can't imagine the house without it!

Hugs to you!

So very sorry to hear that about little Milo, phorsenuf. I can hear the love in your voice, your caring and kindness shows though your words. My best for you, and hope the kids do well, though tough for sure. Know well Milo is at the bridge, waiting, playing, and happy, happy for the good life you all gave him, and he in return to you...........

</font>
<center><p><font size="+1" face="Comic Sans MS">Just this side of heaven is a place
called Rainbow Bridge.<br>
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet
goes to Rainbow Bridge.<br>
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and
play together.<br>
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable.<br>
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those
who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember
them in our dreams of days and times gone by.<br>
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss
someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.<br>
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and
looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs
carrying him faster and faster.<br>
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you
cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses
rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once
more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never
absent from your heart.<br>
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....<br>
