My Turkish Angora mix kitty left us today.

He had an aggressive lymphoma and chemo was not working. I had to make the terrible decision to let him go rather than further decline and suffer. He wanted to go home. But as the oncologist said, "his will was stronger than his body."

It gets harder every time I have to let one of my babies go on.

I have been losing these fur friends for 71 years and it breaks my heart every single time.

I loved him to pieces.

I have two other rescue cats, who are a comfort.

It is never easy to let a furbaby go. Please accept this post as a hug from me. When your heart heals enough please consider rescuing a furbaby in need.

...agonizing decision, I call it “liberating the spirit” from a body that can no longer do what the spirit wants to do.

I can promise you kitty will be met by our Cinnamon, Sugar, Bouncer, Calli and Mellow, with lots of romp time on the other side.

Hugs.

I added a pic, thanks to the DUer who explained how.

Many tears, many “what if’s”, and no energy to do anything, since losing him.
