Ripley

[jazzcat]

My sweet old man Ripley is gone. I had to make that horrible decision this morning.

He hadn't been eating and the daily rounds of sub-q fluids were doing no good. He started collecting fluids overnight which indicated there was something more than just renal failure happening. At 17 1/2 years of age I didn't want to put him through tests and more suffering.

We will miss him so much. He's been with us since late April of 1992 when he was just 7 weeks old. He was my very first cat and he opened my world to many new things. He will always have a very special place in my heart.

Rest in Peace my sweet panda paws. Be sure to tell them you like ice cubes in your water.

So sorry for your loss. It is never an easy decision to make but somehow we always know when the time has come. He was a very handsome cat, such pretty white paws and chest. Bless you and your family.

I'm so sorry about Ripley. What a handsome boy!

[Pinot's Mom]

I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful Ripley! Please take comfort in that he lived a long, happy life with you, and you did the very best for him up to and especially his last day. He'll let you know in his own special way he's happy and that he loves you for helping him to the Bridge. Peace.

I'm so sorry. Sweet, handsome Ripley! He had a long, wonderful life, but that doesn't make it one bit easier to let them go.

Rest well at the RB, Ripley boy. You are missed.

Take comfort in the knowledge he apprectiates the fact that you didn't let him suffer. He loves you for that! Ripley, let your meowmie know you are okay and will see her again.

I'm so sorry that Ripley has gone. I always liked to hear about Ripley and see new pictures of him, and his baby picture is just the cutest thing ever!

I am so very sorry, Lori. Ripley was much loved and lived a long, generous life with you. That doesn't soften the blow any, I know. May his memories bring you comfort in time.
