What a loving tribute to a very special and lovely feline friend! I share all the feelings and have had to make some of those tough decisions in the past. I love the story behind the name. I'm sure "Blew" looked into your soul and purred away your strife though some of those stressful times you mentioned. My BooBoo and Libby do that often. Boo Boo was COTD on December 14. He is now 13 and really slowing down. I'm trying to savour the good times with him. Congratulations on a beautiful friend.
