Our precious Bootz flew away to Cat Heaven yesterday morning. She seemed to be under the weather so I took her to the vet. X-rays revealed our darling girl had an enlarged heart and a collapsed lung--with only hours left to live. The Vet said she either contracted a virus, or cancer which had been coming on for some time. Thankfully, up until yesterday morning, Bootz had no symptoms of pain or discomfort, whatsoever.
This morning in the twilight of sleep, I felt her snuggled against my side--I felt the warmth and the weight of her body there. But as I awoke, I realized once again, our small companion has gone. Our hearts are broken, but how grateful we are to have known her these six months.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, Beth. I know that they are "only" animals ... but that doesn't seem right. They are true companions. I can empathize with you since I know that I will be totally devastated when Angelina's time is up. I hope it will never happen, but I know that it will. Be strong, Beth.
Dear Beth,
I'm so very sorry. Being an animal lover and a cat Mom, my heart goes out to you.
Hugs,
Sunny
