    It is hard to say good bye to old friends, but putting the animal down at the end is an act of kindness. Based on your discription it sounds like kidney failure which is why we had to put our old cat Blanche down a few weeks ago. Vibes to you, your bride and old friend.

    She had cancer and there was nothing they could do. Just gave her a kiss on her head, Mrs Flake is with her now. I can’t be in there when it happens. I’m a fucking crybaby. Thanks for all the positive thoughts.

    Tremendous sense of relief has settled over us. We did right by her. Here she is from last year.

    The most important part of being a pet parent is doing right by them when faced with the hardest decision of all.

    You guys honored her by shouldering the pain so she didn't have to feel pain anymore.

    what a magnificent cat, I love her face.

    I just hope that I have the courage to do the same for our animals when the time is right. Our girl Kisa (tuxedo) is getting up there in years (minimum of 12 now), and I dread the day I find myself in your position.

    I hope you and the Mrs. take comfort in knowing that you did right by her, and that she is now at peace and free of pain.

    More vibes. You did the right thing and tears are warranted.
    Twice the love for your other kitty from now on.

    Percy the Cat lives at my buddies engineering office in downtown Smithers. He wanders the streets and visits local merchants and generally makes friends everywhere he goes. My buddy put a GPS on him to track his movements and Percy has his own instagram now. He dropped by my grade 7 classroom yesterday. Check Percy out at;

    https://www.instagram.com/percy_insmithers/


    or you can check out his movements at

    This is great. Love how the businesses advertise “Percy was here”.
    I take it his sister Lola Isn’t as extroverted?

    Miss Mayhem was trying very hard to get a live mouse into the house today. I warned everyone in the house. When I came back there were mouse parts on the mat in the garage.

    Sister Lola is nowhere near as extroverted. She is rather portly and rarely strays from the office.

    Ms TBS once opened the front door to our old cat Kimosabe, who walked in with an injured bird in its mouth - and then started playing with it.

    I’m in the shower getting ready for work. Ms TBS is screaming. I go running out wet and naked thinking I will need to fight off a home invasion.

    Nope - just a dying bird and some assorted feathers. Bird tries to fly, gets about a foot off the floor - WHAP, paw instantly pins it to the floor.

    Kimo used to leave dead mouse carcasses on the front steps as well…

    It is one of my fears waking up with dead mouse on me or next to my head.
    So far I’ve been waking up with our cats favorite toys.
