    Poor you Sola, I feel for you....

    We had our darling old puss put to sleep in September as she has cancer too.
    then we had our little baby kitty put to sleep just 2 weeks ago as the vet though his collaps was due to Feline Aids passed onto him from his mother. He was only 5 months old, poor little bless.
    We think about our 2 lost kitties every day and talk about them all the time.

    You have my deepest sympathy. xxxxxxxxx
  • Sorry to hear that, i cried and cried when my last cat had to be put down (i was about 16 i think and she was as old as me!)

    Love and hugs

    We've got 6 others, plus an occasional visitor we feed, and may be taking an old ginger-and-white female brought into a vet last week nearly frozen to death. They seem to always find their way to us. I'd take them all if I could even though it's so sad when they die.

    I was sorry to hear about your loss, as an owner of 2 cats (including Harry who we recently got from Cat Rescue) and a dog, I share your sadness.

    Money doesn't buy the unconditional love and happiness that animals give you. I keep 'drunmming this into our kids'.
    One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.
