My Fluffy just left for Rainbow Bridge...... :-(
I know there are alot of animal lovers here and can understand my heart ache. My 14 year old cat just shut down and I had to let him go.

I hate this, you know it's right but it hurts so damned bad. I am so grateful for all his 14 years... he wss a wild cat that adopted me and my son.. he had a good life and gave us joy.

bye Fluffy... you're the best!

10. waaaah!
I'm so sorry, nini. I'm a cat-person myself, and it's horrible to lose one.

I went to the pound and got a kitten the same day I had my last guy put down. Doesn't in anyway replace the lost one, but it sure does make ya smile.

good luck!

12. Nini
When I had to put down my 19 year old cat about a year ago, I wrote a tribute to her here on DU. It made me feel better....that she hadn't passed without people knowing how special she was. (Course I made half the lounge cry but they understood.)

13. that is so sad, i'm sorry
it's so hard to lose a beloved four-footer. you just never replace that little presense.
well, courage and remember you loved fluffy well -- and fluffy you.
and that's what's important.

20. He's there with my Andy, Spikes one and two, my two Fritzis and my
Gretchen. Good company, honey. Its almost worse than
losing a child, they become so important to you. Mourn
all you want, as hard as you want. My Gretchen left us
at 20 in 1994 and I still cry.

HUGS!

24. There's also a new baby in the family. Olivia is born
What a day! My sisters nephew and his wife ( by marriage so I'm not directly related but kinda) had a baby girl today. Olivia arrived at just under 10 lbs, 20 inches.!

My head is spinning from my wide range of emotions... ahhh the circle of life!

Again, thanks to all of you for your kind words.. you're helping in ways you may never know.

:loveya:
