Saying Goodbye :(

We had our cat Spike put down yesterday. He was 13 and it was definitely time as he was in liver failure and had a heart murmur, but it's still sad. This was my husband's cat from before we were married and he's been on borrowed time since they found him. He had a broken tail and a hernia when they "acquired" him. Anyway, I just wanted to post a few pics of him that were taken last summer by a photographer friend of mine.

Re: Saying Goodbye :(

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's terrible to lose a loved pet....last year my mom had to put down the cat I grew up with. Midnight looked just like a smaller version of your Spike. She was 19 years old and her body just shut down overnight one day. I still miss her, but I know she is in a better place. Spike is now not in any pain, and he's young again.
