Little Boy's last Photo

Uploaded: March 22, 2015 | Entered: March 22, 2015 15:36:54

Description

This will be Little Boy's last photo. I will have to put him to eternal rest tomorrow. This was taken Saturday, yesterday. Today I am spending time loving him. He slept with me last night and will tonight but he is not eating and is withering away. He is not in pain, thank God but he is letting me know it is time to let go. He was a great Zen kitty and calmed all the kitties and humans down. He was cross-eyed and had a Traumatic Brain Injury from a car hitting him but he slept with me every night and always there in AM bathroom shaving time. I will miss him a lot but must let him go to rest with all the other great kitties from BP. Been extremely busy with lot of issues and will get back to BP when I can. Emile.

So, so sorry, Emile. I do know how you feel. A few days ago, I had to do the same with our 17 year old kitty Holly. It is such a hard, hard thing to do. But we want them to go gently when they go, so we do what we must. #11269880
