So sorry to hear that you had to make the ultimate gift of love to Mr
Fast, No matter how long we have them, those special cats leave a bog
hole when they leave.

Purrs coming for all who knew this special guy, and lighting a candle
for his trip to the RB, where he'll be young and healthy waiting for
you.

When I hurt the most, cry the most, love the most, I come here - to you,
the cat people, who understand what it is to lose a friend.

Today I said goodbye to Mr Fast, my grey tabby boy, aged 20.

He came into my life at about one year old, he moved into my garden then
into my heart. He was timid at first, I threw cat treats to him through
the window. Gradually, we would sit together on the back step, as I gave
him food. I took him to the vet for the 'snip' - he put his paws around my
neck when I went to collect him.

Mr Fast outlived many of my fur people but age caught up with him - first
he lost all his teeth, then his kidneys became a problem, then he became
deaf - over the last week or so it was apparent he was going blind.

My lovely grey tabby boy was walking into doors and getting lost in the
house.

After much soul-searching I analysed on his behalf 'quality of life'.

Four hours ago, I cried while Mr Fast left this world.

I would like the thank the Veterinary profession for being here to help us
to ease our friends from their pain and confusion - I waited while Mr Fast
fell into the endless sleep and peace he needed.

Dusty will miss him, she loved to curl up next to him.

I will miss him - he was my eldest boy, my constant cat.

Rest well, my Fast... I love you
