In Loving Memory
Our sweet girl Aggie died today; I was with her when she breathed her last. She went at home, quietly, and I petted her gently the whole time. Her absence leaves a far larger hole than you might believe, considering she was a cat who really didn't cotton much to being touched, or given much attention at all - she spent a lot of time in the basement (hence her nickname "skulky"), or sleeping on our bed. But she was our family, and we loved her, and we miss her. Goodnight little Agammemnon, rest well.

We'll miss her too - every house should have a cat of the far corners.

Oh, K, that's so sad! I'm very sorry.
So sorry to hear. It sounds as though it was an incredible comfort to you both to be at that moment together. We should all hope to let those we love go with such Grace when the time comes! Wishing you well through this tough time.
Thanks everyone. It's still hard to believe she's gone. I haven't been able to bring myself to stop by the vet's office and pick up her ashes. Next week.
so sorry. it is hard to lose our pets who are our family. have been there twice. still brings pain to my heart when i remember, and the last one was 6 years ago. happy holiday wishes.
