Kitty Boy....

[Laura1]

My poor little Kitty Boy- he had multiple myeloma and died a few months ago. It was heart-wrenching to take him to the vet and have him put to sleep, I don't care how many times I hear what a "kind, loving & humane" thing I did! It was awful! I had him for about 12 years and he was the most loving cat I've ever had. He had a personality that was unparalleled! He is sort of a legend throught my extended family, that is how unique & special he was. I work in a funeral home, so I had some resources.... and I had a funeral for him in my back yard, where we buried him. Sounds silly to some, I'm sure, but I cannot stress enough how much it helped me through the grieving process. I HIGHLY recommend it! He was buried in a baby casket, complete with a tiny casket spray on top. We lowered him into the ground and a dear clergy friend of mine volunteered his time and we had a brief service for him. It was really great! Kitty Boy deserved it, for sure.

On a lighter note, I've since adopted a 5 y.o. Bengal- he's gorgeous and what a loverboy!

To all who come here with a heavy heart- I am so sorry for you- I know very well how bad it feels. If it's any consolation, it does help to have another kitty to love.
