gratuitous kitteh pic - the last i will ever have of the two of them together



it is formerly fat cat's time, so we make that final trip to the vet in the morning. she and the dim one have never had much use for each other, but husband busted them doing this today. this photo is so beautiful and is just destroying my heart right now, but i will treasure it forever.

i spent two hours skyping with her first human this morning and we swapped many memories of her. our sweet mia is curled up on the husband's lap and mira is curled at his side. she's had a good nearly 15 years and as heart broken as i am tonight, i will perform the final act of love without hesitation. i am really wondering how mira is going to react. they've been together for about 14 years and she's never been an only kitteh.

i will miss you for forever, my love.

My heart is breaking for you tonight...

Of course you're doing the right thing, the very most difficult thing by letting her go.

As you said yesterday.

Doesn't take away the hurt, though, I know.

Love....our furbabies are so special. ....more than I can put into words.

spares. a castaway set from iowa. we had to place the other 5. 3 cats is even better than 2! great exercise for the older cat as well.

Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you...
I loved you so --
'twas Heaven here with you.

Tell her you love her and try not to cry during that time. She won't want you to be unhappy.

But, damn, I know how hard it is. Hell, I'm crying for you.

That is such a sweet picture, and will be an enduring memory for you, fizzgig. I am thinking about you this morning and the trip you will be making. Love and support to you and mira...she will surely miss her.

of your beloved Mia. I don't know what else to say except I lost a beloved cat almost one year ago this month, so I know your heartache. (((HUGS)))
