Our feline family after today is now down to 7. Pitty, one of our Black felines and our 2nd oldest, had to be put to sleep earlier today. Another one that came on just in the last 2-3 days. He had several unrecoverable problems and not a sign of any of them until last Thursday. We had to put his "mom" to sleep less than 6 months ago, and they both were my lounge chair partners almost every night. They are together once again.

 

Seems like about the time things are better, they are not. Optimism allows some humans to look at the good side. We had him and exchanged love with him for over 15 years. Those will be the thoughts that we will try to keep in our head during these rough times.

Oh John, I am so very sorry that Pitty had to go back to God unexpectedly.

I'm so sad for you!  It's hard as you know.  I don't know what's worse, watching an aging pet and 'knowing' they won't be around forever, or something strange and awful happening quickly.

 

Sometimes I swear I can't take the loss of another pet and don't want to get any more and then something too precious comes along!

So sorry for your loss.  Had to put down our dog this summer after 14 years.  They truly become family.

I'm so sorry, hckynutjohn. Even though your kitty had health problems, he lasted as long as he did because you and your wife took such good care of him. Animals never forget.

 

I hope your wife is doing better and I hope you're doing well, too.
