I am so very sorry, reading that I could feel some of the pain you are in and it just broke my heart for you. My own cat is 14 and I know sooner than later her time will come. My prayers and my thoughts are with you, she is safe and healthy and no longer in any pain or discomfort. Thank you for sharing those wonderful pics of her, she is beautiful!!!

I saw the lady who held Dusty for me when she was PTS. She said Dusty seemed to know what was going on and did talk to them quite a bit, but that Dusty did NOT struggle (which she always did for any other procedure we've ever had done on her). She said Dusty went quietly and the lady kissed and hugged her and talked to her, while crying herself, the whole time.

I was glad to hear that Dusty seemed 'ready' as I had feared maybe I decided 'too soon', which from what I"ve read many other owners also feel guilt over that. I guess the timing was about right for Dusty to have been ready.

Anyways, the point of my post is that the lady got Dusty the most beautiful urn for her ashes. I wanted to post a pix of it so you could see how lovely it is and the thoughtfullness she had in picking it out.
