My Baby Boy Starr Has Passed On

[catmandu]

Oh My Goodness not Starr!
Another Dear Cat gone long before his time.
Thatwas an incrediby hard decision Tracey , and sad to say the right one as none of us wants our loved ones to be in that kind of pain.
Starrs at the Mandarin now where he got the first plate and the first selection before having his night with Willy at Michaels Inn.
Starrs such a Wonder Cat , and we know he will find a good job with the Animal Angel Army and will have found a spot where you all can be reunited in love.
One Fine Day.

I just wanted to say again how sorry I am you had to make this tough decision, but I agree that Starr let you know it was the right one. He was certainly one lucky cat to have a meomie like you. I don't know anyone that is more dedicated to their furries like you are. You did more than probably anyone else would have to try and fight this disease and Starr knows you loved him. I know how much you loved your peepers and I'm glad he is now painfree. I'm sure Pepper will take good care of him.

You're all giving me major LES here. Looking at his kitten pictures that Candace posted was very hard. I've been in denial about his illness for quite a while and I kept hoping that he'd get better. We both fought hard for the past 2 1/2 years but I was becoming emotionally and physically drained and also very stressed out. He wasn't getting any better and his body was starting to give out. I don't like to keep my animals alive until they're at deaths door. I didn't bother posting about it on PT because I didn't realize how bad it was either.

Dear Tracey, I am ssssssooooooo sorry that poor dear sweet Starr has passed on. I write this with tears streaming down my face, as I know how you are feeling right now after having our Willy put down at the same age and being in denial on how sick he was, but not knowing really just how sick he was.
It's so very hard to say good-bye, but knowing deep down inside, it was with love for your Starr that you had to let him go to end his suffering and to be at peace.
My heart goes out to you and I pray that you find comfort and peace in the fond memories you made together. May they help you overcome the pain.

Hugs to you friend.

Rest in Peace beautiful Starr you were so loved and will never be forgotten.

I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of your beautiful, beloved Starr. My deepest condolences to you, Tracey, and to all his friends.

Rest in peace, dearest boy, all your pain is gone now. You were and are very much loved.

I am so sorry!!!! It was just two weeks ago yesterday that I had to make that horrible decision for Leonardo!!! I think it was the hardest thing I had to do in my life.

Sweet Starr, you left us way too soon. I know you will be missed a lot.
Say Hi to my Leonardo and Luke when you get to the Rainbow Bridge.

I'm so very sorry to hear this. Starr was one of my favorite kitties on Pet Talk. I know you did everything you could for him. It's so sad to lose them this young. Rest in peace beautiful blue eyed boy. {{HUGS}} to you.

Tracey...I'm so sorry about your beloved Starr...We here at PT all share your grief today, and most (if not all) of us have been where you are. Even though Starr was just 4, his problems were really diminishing his quality of life, and it sounds as though you had done all you could for him. He knew how much you loved him, and as you said, he is in a place now where he has no more pain or sickness, and is running and playing happily in the sunshine at the RB...

What a handsome boy Starr was...Just know that he loves you, he's watching over you and will always be with you...God bless...

Thanks so much everyone for all of your nice comments. I'm still getting major LES when I read them. Tonight at feeding time, it seemed so strange not to have to feed Starr his babyfood mixture mixed with his herbal supplements. I know I'll get used to this in time. My cats didn't seem to mind because they could be fed sooner. Before any one even mentions it, no I won't be adopting another cat any time soon. I've realized that I need to decrease my numbers not increase or maintain them. Hopefully I won't have to go through this again for many many years though.

Tracey, I'm so very, very sorry for your loss. "The decision" is not easy to make but I do know in my heart that you made the right one and sweet Starr now shines brightly in the sky. He was extremely lucky to have a Meowmie like you. He knew love and you knew his calming purr. What more could we ask for???

Tracey - I am so sorry the kitten pics of Starr upset you so. I wanted to make a little tribute for him, to remember when...even though Pearl was also in all the pics!

I'm just seeing this now. You made the right decision for poor Starr, but that doesn't make it easy, does it. He couldn't have wished for a better human than you, and you will all be reunited some day.
