I'm going to miss her terribly. She slept next to me for 18 years and was one of the great joys of my life. I'm glad she's no longer suffering, the last couple days were very tough. I had her cremated, so this spring I can lay her ashes to rest in our kitty garden in the back yard, and make it nice. Yesterday my boy cats Meesh and Neighbor Cat were cruising around the house looking for her. Meesh slept in Mama Cat's favorite overstuffed chair last night, which is where Mama Cat spent her last week. It was very sad. It's amazing how the pets in the house know what's going on.

didnt have my cat as long, but we had to put him down from bladder cancer. he was my first friend when i moved here to australia. the biggest mistake i made, was not allowing our other pets to see him one last time. it took our other cat almost three years to come out of her depression from loss. that is even with us having adopted three other cats over the same period.
