Blackey

[blue]

Welcome to PT and dont worry about being a dampner. Its good to remember the good times we've had with our loved pets. Two of my cats are gone, but I still smile remembering them.

Im going to be the one who makes the final call for my parents cat because they wont be able to, plus they got her from me. Taking her to the vet would put way more stress on her then having the vet brought to the house to have her PTS.

You did the right thing and remember the times he made you laugh and smile. My barn cats have been gone for 20 or so years and they still make me laugh and smile.

Slainte.

Sound, it'll be weird walking around the house in the next couple of weeks without him.
I knew this was going to come eventually one way or another but so soon! I don't know the life expectancy of a cat but six years............ that's too short.

6 Is too short.

La Vie Claire made it to 6 before she attacked a moving truck, she was a mean, and territorial cat and she left a dent. Cineli made it to at least 12 before quietly expiring under the day bed in my dads sunroom on the other side of the country the day before I got there for Christmas week.

As long as his memories make you smile you are doing good.

I taught Cineli to fetch almost 20 years ago and Im laughing and shedding a tear at the same time remembering that.

On one hand I am very sorry for your loss, on the other hand I am very greatfull for bringing up very happy memories of my barn cats from many years ago.

RIP Blackey. May you have many happy memories.

Prayers and condolences to you, Thomas. I still remember a black cat I had; he was put down when I was 13, and I am 53 now. He was MY cat, and I grieved horribly.

Now, he is a special memory...and I pray a guardian angel for me.

Blackey, send purrs to Thomas in his sleep and let him know you are healthy and free again.

I'm sorry to hear about Blackey. He sounds like he was a wonderful loving cat. I don't know if you've heard of Rainbow Bridge or not but here's a link about it and at the bottom they also have a link for pet loss grief support:http://www.petloss.com/poems/maingrp/rainbowb.htm. I had a black cat named Pepper and he became very ill and I had to put him down when he was almost 6 years old so I feel your pain. Usually indoor only cats live to at least 10 years old or much longer. I'm sure that Blackey knows how much you loved him and he'll live in your heart forever. RIP sweet boy.

My blackie Boo is sitting on my lap right now as I type. He's 18. I know how lucky I am to still have him. I rescued him and his sister Peeka together and she died at the age of 14. Age 6 is way too young to lose them but you did everything right and all you could to give Blackey a good, loving home and the time that he had w/you was quality time for sure. It's never easy to lose one of our furkids no matter their age, I know. Boo lost his girlfriend and best bud Pidgie just last week. I had to have her put to sleep and she was 21 1/2 years old and Boo hasn't been the same since and neither have I. You're right, the house just isn't the same. I feel so bad for you; I know how you're hurting and the only thing that will help to heal the hurt is time. Just know that you did the last act of kindness for Blackey and he loves you even more for it b/c you didn't allow him to suffer. RIP, sweet Blackey and peace to your humans.

You are not putting a damper on our New Year Thomas , this is a site where we know that as many good times we have with Our Cats , there is a time when we have to say goodbye.
Your Blackey had a very good life with you and your family , and was so beloved and he certainly was a Lucky Cat to have a place where he was warm and fed as there are so many Lost Pets who will never know that life.
Blackey reminds me of Tubby 2 named after famed Tubby Angel , the Black Stray who was a Found Cat for about a year before I found him very weak and hardly moving.
He passed on as I was calling My Vet and he was taken to My Vets Clinic where his ashes were interred by the Wishing Well of Prayer where blessings are invoked for the Pets who are interred there.
Tubby 2 , Ebony Beau and Ebonite will be waiting at the Pristine Cove tonight and will be the first to greet Blackey as he arrives for the picnic and then the All Night Party in his honor at the Tensing Pen Hotel where Blackey will receive the first room service platter of his choice.
And Blackey will search and search untii he finds that very special place where you will be reunited in love.
One Fine Day
