Last Will And Testament Of A Cat
When humans die, they make a will
To leave their homes, and all they have to those
they love.
I, too, would make a will, if I could write.
To some poor, wistful, lonely stray
I leave my happy home,
My dish, my cosy bed, my cushioned chair,
my toy
The well-loved lap,
The gently stroking hand,
The loving voice,
The place I made in someone's heart,
The love, that at the last
Could help me to a peaceful, painless end
Held in loving arms.
If I should die
Oh! Do not say:
"No more a pet I'll have
To grieve me by its loss."
Seek out some lonely, unloved cat
And give my place to him.
This is my legacy
The love I leave behind
'Tis all I have to give.
Margaret Trowton

I still feel guilty about having my dog put to sleep 10 yrs ago.
My mate won't have a dog anymore because of the grief it causes when they die.
Pets are part of the family.
I have lost two dogs, both mastiffs, big soft and lovable - both went down with bone cancer in the front leg, a weakness in the breed with older age.
I cried so much, as I have never grieved for a human like I did for both those dogs.
Plimboy :cry: :cry:
Woo the painting is gorgeous really lovely.
Huge hugs to everyone else who has lost or is worried about their pets. It's so awful to have to lose them :cry:
Moushka was the first of our husky's to go. She had cancer and eventually we had to take her to the vet to be put to sleep. Chocolate is lethal in large amounts to not only husky's but most breeds of dog. Unfortunately she absolutely loved it and would pinch it wherever possible. Her other vice was a cup of tea and she would nick that too given half the chance.
When we took her to the vets, just before she was put to sleep I gave the her the biggest bar of dairy milk I could find just before her injection because I wanted her to go happy. She died with her head in my arms 5 minutes later. RIP Moushka :inlove:
I am suprised to managed to get them to sit still, face the same direction at the same time, and not chew the decorations!
Lovely photo
I know just how you feel we had a cat for 13 years and had kidney trouble. He was a loved member of our family and a great loss when he went. We had to have him put to sleep but I made Hubby do it as I knew I just couldn’t.
That was 4 years ago, a few months after we went and got 2 rescue cats and they have helped in filling the void.
I would say leave it until you are ready and get another cat.
There are plenty that would love a good home that you could provide.
But you never forget the ones you have lost, we still talk about his antics to this day.
