No one claimed Dickens so he is now officially a member of the "Thundering Herd" He will visit the clinic next week for his first round of shots and a general deworming. He is a real cutie and he came into my life at just the right moment.

Our beautiful loving kitty Pearl was put to sleep this evening.
She tried so valiantly for two months to recover from her latest bout with kidney failure, but sadly she developed cancer as well and it was all too much for her, there was no longer any chance for recovery. We had to spare her the final phase of suffering she would be likely to have in the days ahead as the cancer grew.
She was purring and I cuddled and kissed her as she went to sleep peacefully.
That purr was her way of letting me know she was ok and she loved us. She was comforting me.

What a beautiful and wonderful shining light she was for 10 years. Such bright sparkle and affection, - a fiery sprite covered with gossamer swan's down, that was Pearl.

We shall miss her terribly. Thank goodness we have the in-your-face little kitty Suki to keep us on our toes and distracted right now.
I put up a little album of some of my favorite photos of Pearl here:

Lisa, I am sorry. The photos are beautiful -- there is nothing as lush and wonderful as that gray fur. I know she had a wonderful life, and you have many wonderful memories, but it's always hard to let them go.

I'm glad she comforted you when the time came. Cats are so wise.

Lisa,
So sorry about Pearl. It's hard to watch them suffer, knowing that they don't feel good. Herald had intestinal cancer. We don't want to loose them, but we don't want them to suffer either.

Have to remember the good days, and that loved and trusted us to take care of them to the end.

((((Lisa)))). I'm so sorry about Pearl. What a pretty and loving cat she was. Hugs to you and your family. I hope you find comfort in your memories of Pearl. Pets bring such blessings to our lives, notwithstanding the pain of losing them.

(((Lisa))) So sorry to hear about Pearl and your loss. She brought so much love and fun to your home, and I am quite sure you did to her life as well.
