Catty1,

Yes. I am leaving work early and will be there when Cosmo is pts. I will ask them to cut some of his fur. His belly will be all shaved off because of the ultrasound.

I am going to have him cremated and will put his fur inside with his ashes (like I did for Maxie).

Maxie & Cosmo were actually about 6 years apart. Maxie died pretty young of Cardiomyopathy.

I still can't believe this is happening. I can't believe I have to go home and remove the cat furniture, the cat box, the cat food, the cat toys. I won't be getting a kitty for awhile. It's just too hard to think about at the moment.

Thank you for your sympathy. I'm grateful for this site. I know I can come here and pour my heart out and not get laughed at. I'm lucky I work with people who love animals too. They understand and my boss said I could take tomorrow off. However, I will probably come in just to keep my mind off of everything.
