    What a lovely tribute! It sounds like all that good food in his final feast may have given him the extra energy he needed to get to his final resting spot. Good. Teary-eyed here too.

    So, so touching. Milford was a brave little cat.

    Thanks all. I now realize I was a good kitty mom but at the time of both of their deaths, I felt like I could have done more. I keep thinking I see them out of the corner of my eye and look up and they're not there. At least they aren't suffering anymore!

    I got a piece of hate mail that I think I'm just going to ignore from one of the people on my feline kidney failure lists. I really don't think I did anything wrong and as I was going to euth him anyways this past weekend, he got the last meal of a king (remember, he wasn't eating for the last couple days before his death) and McDonalds was always one of his favorites!

    Dear Jeni,
    I am so sorry to hear of your sudden loss of your other kitty, Milford. I hope the seasoned human food did not make him sicker, and assume that was an accident. You probably never intended for him to eat that, as seasonings can be toxic to kitties, esp. CRF kitties. I know this has been such a difficult time, and I hope and pray that you will find strength and comfort during this time of healing. It is never easy to lose a beloved pet. I am so sorry for your loss.
    Hugs and prayers

    do not give that person any more of your energy.
    I would have given my sick/dying cat anything I thought they'd eat!

    Wow; I can't imagine sending something like under these circumstances. As Mimi said, don't trouble yourself with that person's extremely misguided message to you.

    +1,000 on this - I am flabbergasted that someone sent that to you. You are a great cat-mom (and dog-mom)! Don't give her message another thought.

    Well that person doesn't have their head on right. Cripe, whether pet or people, eat what you want to eat at the end.
