My heart is breaking

3 hours ago I sent my oldest furbaby across the rainbow bridge. Merryweather was 17 and had been with me almost me entire adult life. He had been loosing weight and spring in his leaps for the last couple of months. I wasn't sure when I left for work today that he would still be here when I got home. The look on his face when I got home told me what I had to do. I know it was the best thing I could do for a wonderful cat and companion, but it hurts so much. I still have my two younger furguys, but I know they don't understand where their big brother has gone. At least now his pain is over and he can once again do his astounding leaps. And maybe he'll get to catch one of those birds that has tormented him by being outside while he was stuck inside.Anne (in Ellicott City, MD)

Oh, Anne, I am *so* sorry for you! I know how hard that decision is to make, but I hope that it brings you some comfort to know that he's happy now. I'll be thinking about you.

Anne,

You know you did the right thing by your dear furbaby, even though it ripped you apart. Lots of hugs and thoughts going your way
