She was a lovely cat, sad that she has gone but she had a lovely home and caring owners.

Sorry to hear that Dawn. It's never nice losing a pet, especially one that's been around for such a long time.

God she would have loved all this fuss! I was forever finding her out on the street rolling on her back for attention off strangers like a little hussy!

Big hugs to you & your family. She sounds like a very special cat who has left plenty of happy memories.

I lost my cat in february this year due to kidney problems, was so sad and I think that was the most I've cried in a long while. He loved the garden and when we buried him we bought Orange, Brown and White flowers to plant over where we buried him because he was a tabby.
*hugs* RIP Courtney

We're building a bench under the tree. Beck says he wants to sit there and remember her.
Sorry to hear about your puss. I'm feeling lucky in a way because I thought I was going to have to take her to have her put down once she got worse but her little heart gave out instead. She ended up just dying of old age. To have to take them in and make a decision to end their lives is far far worse and even though you know you're doing it for the best the guilt is awful.

I'm sorry to hear about Courtney but you are right, it is a small mercy when they die of old age but it is definitely better. I've had a couple of pets put down and a couple die of old age and it is much less traumatic to just find they have keeled over of their own accord. At the very least you know she had a good life.
