I am so sorry to hear about Skootch. He sounded like a wonderful cat and I know how you must miss him. My first kitty Garfield I picked out of a cardboard box when I was 3 years old. He was with me all the way to college. I too had to make the difficult decision to end his suffering...and I came to believe it is a true testament to how much you loved him. It would have been selfish to allow him to suffer...you sent him to a beautiful place where he is happy and healthy AND waiting for you to be reunited someday!

You made the right decision....

R.I.P sweet Skootch!
