    Him and FK are my kids. The OH is doing the deed. It will be tough for him as it is the end of his past life and the first thing he has lost since his wife. I suspect there will be many emotions for him tonight. I suggested having him cremated and then scatter the ashes with his wifes. She is in a natural grave marked by an oak tree to symbolise strength and being reborne so I think its fitting that the OBB goes there too.

    Thanks Lanny xx

    spoken to the OH. He says he cant believe how peaceful it was compared to his wife's passing. He told me earlier today how when he took FK back to mine that she was whimpering and crying, not her normal attitude. He now thinks she knew what was going to happen and didnt want to go. Weird considering she was hiding in the covered litter tray this morning trying to duff OBB up - who then went looking (if he could see) for her to have a go back! :D What a bloody pair they are!! Still, at least he shared our Indian last night. Yes, he really did steal some of the chicken dansak!!!!! :D

    God speed Tigsy cat x

    Thanks for your wishes. They really get under your skin, animals!
