    My wonderful, handsome boy, Charlie...

    has gone to the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon. I got him from PAWS when he was about 4 and he made it to 13 until cancer finally couldn't be denied. He was diagnosed back at Christmas and had lost weight then. Today at the vet he said that he would just continue to waste away. I decided it was best to let him go now while he wasn't in those last stages.

    He will be missed more than I can say. I loved him so much. I've had cats all my life and over the last 30 years have had to deal with this same loss...it never gets easier or less painful. I'm a bit of a lurker here and have posted occasionally in the dog and cat sections but I just wanted Charlie's life to be known and celebrated.

    I am so, so sorry on the loss of your beautiful cat, Charlie. My heart goes out to you. I agree, it never does get easier.

    I know it is difficult to say goodbye to a pet you held so dear. I pray and hope that you find comfort and peace in the fond memories you made together.

    Our pets are a gift from Heaven, but we don't get to keep them nearly long enough!

    dear Charlie and have fun on the RB.

    Oh my goodness, Charlie was absolutely stunning! I'm so sorry that you had to let him go but it was the last act of kindness that you could do for him and he loves you even more for your unselfishness. RIP, handsome Charlie boy and peace to your human.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    He was one of the lucky ones.

    What a beautiful boy that Charlie is - and always will be. I'm so sorry that you had to let him go, but I admire your strength and wisdom to let him go now, before the cancer destroyed him any further. It's never an easy decision, and I believe that sometimes we hold on too long for our own selfish reasons - we just can't bring ourselves to let go when perhaps we should. Bless you for helping him to The Bridge now - I'm sure he loves you all the more for it.

    RIP beautiful Charlie. Run free and find lots of new friends and adventures, and find a way to let Mom know that you're happy and waiting for the day that you'll be together again.

    I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to your handsome boy, Charlie. He looked like a gorgeous boy, and very sweet.

    I know you must feel very sad now, but you did the best for him - I hope that will give you some comfort.

    Rest in Peace, dear Charlie!

    (((hugs)))
