I went from the highest I've been on Saturday (getting engaged) to the lowest I've been on Sunday. It was time for her to go, I knew this, but still completely crushing. It's going to be hard to sleep without her in the crook of my arm digging her claws in and purring in my ear.

You were my best buddy, Moolah. I'm glad you aren't suffering any more.

Care to share a picture of Moolah?

Just got to remember the good times I guess, like with people. Generally easier to do that with the animals. Arguments with my cat are pretty one sided. He's living a good life, and I'm sure yours did too.

Thanks guys.

Is there a trick to posting photos? I'm still a noob I guess.

Congrats on the engagement!

Ughy. I'm sorry Ed, it's a tough decision but the right one. I've had to do that too. Come to think of it both my ex-wife and girlfriend have tried to have me put down, but the Dr. at the EMS said "being dumb and getting his ass kicked...again", wasn't quite just cause. I'm sure I deserved it more than yr kitty. And, of course, glad to hear yr going to be a honest man!

Shit, sorry to hear that dude.
We went through it last year too so I know how you feel and it sucks.
At some point, when it's time, only thing to do....get a new kitten!

oh and congratulations on the other thing.

Got to take our two little ladies to the vet next Thursday for the 'permanent contraception' op... general anaesthetics are scary!

I'm just now reading this. My condolences on your loss, man. I've lost my share of cats, one in particular still makes me sad almost 5 years later. Moolah lives on in your memories, hold onto that.

I'm sure Puck, Zamboni, Bella, Meaty, Finnegan, Jack, Grey and Yellow are all up there too (christ, I've had alot of cats). On a more positive note... I've started feeding a tubby orange stray cat that shows up at my back door every time I go out for a smoke. His new name is Milt.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the condolences (and the congrats). My engagement couldn't have come at a better time because it's the only thing keeping me from laying in bed all day.

I'm better today. And by better I mean I'm not a blubbering, tear-soaked-sad-sack. It's truly amazing how big a presence such a little being can have and how an even bigger absence she can leave behind.

Do I need Photobucket to post a picture of her?

It's never fun but it's the last thing you can do for them in their life. I had to have our Mr Grey put down late last year and explain to a three year old why he didn't come back from the vet.

It sucks but you gotta do it.

I lost my buddy several years ago and completely understand how difficult it can be. Being a freelance illustrator for her entire 20-year life, we were together all day, virtually every day. I cherished what she provided for me and did my best not to take her for granted. And she stuck around as long as she could. That was the thought that really helped me accept losing her - she stuck around as long as she could.

I now have a new kitten. The other day she laid her head down in my palette. Her ear is still orange and she has flecks of crimson and yellow and white on her neck. She makes me laugh almost every day.

Best wishes.
