My 2 sickest cats together : (

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

What a precious, precious picture, Carla, but so sad.

I know Booboo has lived a good long life, but Winston is so young!

When Tubby was sick he seemed to hang out in one spot in the living room. Then when Peanut was sick after her surgery, she hung out in the exact same spot - which she had never laid in before! Barbara said it must be because that is the feng shui (sp?) spot for sick kitties in my house. So maybe, somehow, these two know they need each other for comfort, or maybe Winston is just fine and because of his own ailment, he can sense that Booboo is ailing, and he can relate, so he's there just to comfort Booboo. Either way, soft sweet smoochies to both of them and {{{hugs}}} to you.

LES here. How sweet they look laying there together! I know you will cherish that picture forever. It is so sweet to know that they are conforting one another in their pain. I know your heart is breaking, but take comfort in knowing that they will be together once again.

The picture is absolutely beautiful, with such a sad sad story. My heart goes out to you & sick babies. hugs, yous will be in our prayers.

I have never seen a more heartbreaking picture. Those dear, sweet babies must know...animals have a sense that we don't fully share.

Most of us here can relate to your pain and sadness. I just pray for both of them that it is peaceful. We are here for you. Please don't forget that.


(((((hugs))))) to all of you.

The Pet Angels Know That Toronto Would Be Sadly Far Too Stressful For Winston And Boo.
So They Are Arranging For Kitty Bags To Be Flown To Them And Smokey Angel The Eldest Found Cat Will Tell Them What They Are Missing.
Smokey Who Was Nearly 23 When He Passed On , Had A Few Scares At 20 And 21 But He Was Tough.
I Pray For Boo And Winston,nad Its Nice To See That They Have Found A Cherished Friend In Each Other.

What can I say that the others have not? What a precious moment for 2 cats who understand just how fleeting life really is. LES

I hate that part of life when it comes, these 2 are so sweet, and I am
glad they have you, they are very special kitties, your story is so sad.

It is sad, and it does bring tears to my eyes, but when I look at the picture I also think how fortunate they are to be surrounded by comfort in their illness. It makes me think of the many sentient beings, humans as well as animals, who are just as ill but are not surrounded by warmth, love, care, and softness. Years ago, I talked to a doctor friend about the loss of an 8-month old cat, a foster, who had just died of feline leukemia, describing the daily emergency vet trips and his last hours. When I'd finished, he simply said he wished all humans could die surrounded by so much love and care because he'd seen many who did not.
