    Suki is so sweet! I love looking at the wonderful photos, even though they make me really WANT to test my cat allergies yet again.... (no, I won't, not as long as I have to live with carpet)

    The great thing about the photos is their personalities just shine through and it is so easy to tell how loved they are!

    She got in the last word

    We've been battling Bonnie Cat's hyperthyroid disease for 5 years... but yesterday evening her vet & I agreed that it was time to call it over. Now Bonnie was always very vocal, with a running commenary on everything. Silence was when she was asleep. I always figured she'd get in the last word, and she did. She had words for the vet tech holding her, and just to reinforce the message, she swatted her with her paw.

    So now she's free of not feeling good being mixed with almost constant hunger. Maybe it sounds crass, but part of me is relieved that it's over. The healthy Bonnie has been gone (including her mind) for a while. Sigh.

    Now it's just Calypso and me.

    Beth, so sorry you had to let go of another kitty. It must have been so hard to decide when to let go of Bonnie.

    I'm sorry to read this, Beth. Having just gone through this, I understand the conflicting emotions. You did right for her, first and foremost. ((Hugs.))

    ((((Beth)))). I'm so sorry about Bonnie. I'm glad, though, that you're at peace with your decision. She's at peace now. Hugs to you and Calypso.

    Aw Beth, I had hoped she could have been with you just a little longer....her time with you is just too short. How relieved you must be to know she is no longer suffering and you don't have to dread taking her to the vet for what could be the last time. (((((Beth)))))

    I'm so sorry you had to go through this, but glad that you have some comfort in knowing that she's not in pain anymore.
