My other cat Chloe passed away this am

[StarCaller]

Sorry for your loss. I had to put one of our 18 year old cats down my self a month or so back after the wife ran over her. It was a Sunday and no place was open and she was suffering. I had to taker her into the woods.
She actually calmed down as if she knew what was coming. She let me comfort her and turned her back on me so I did not have to look her in the face. That will stay with me a long time.

Honestly, that would be my worst nightmare /
Maybe it has something to do with age; the older I get, the softer I become toward animals /

You're really going through some rough times, my deepest sympathy.

Sorry for another loss of a cherished pet. Keep up the good memories and you will know when it is time to give your love and compassion to another deserving kitty.

Sorry for your loss. At least you were there to the end. You gave her a great life, she gave you her affection in return that you be with her for that one bad day.

Me too. Always have been kind to them. More so now....
Working extra hard also to be respectful of people I encounter too as I get older. I thought about it one day when I ran into mean , disagreeable folks..... "hey, maybe they are dealing with stuff so bad I have no idea. I know how bad I feel a lot." Puts me in bad mood.
I started looking at all a lot differently. I try not to cause bad feelings or any kind of stress on anyone these days." Now, if I can quit typing on BITOG so much that could probably bring Joy to the World too!

bbhero, I am saddened to hear of the loss of a loved pet companion. If they are not in distress, I very much appreciate that you let her go naturally.

So very sad to hear. I wish you well in this difficult time.

Sorry for your loss.

Pretty girl...
@bbhero when you are ready, remember there are thousands of kittys that need a loving home.

Shelters across the U.S. are overwhelmed . Some are turning animals away because of it . We try donate often because of this issue . Higher living costs are a big reason . I've seen nearby shelters asking for help on the local news . Donated after watching it .

Sounds to me that Chloe was well cared for.
Well Done!

Based on this photo of Mickey, my working theory is that a marauding Norse or Mongol tomcat from times past spread his seed at least from the Canadian Prairies to coastal California.
