Purrs for bridge journey please.
Over the summer I have been socializing a stray so I can find a home for him. At first I could do nothing but feed it but as time went along he became freindlier. Towards end I could pick him up and pet him with no trouble. Occassionally he would look at me and hiss like he was reminding me he was still boss!! Well I took him in today for nuetering and the works BUT his tests came back for positive for ADVANCED kitty aids. He could go to no home with cats and should not be left out because he would infect others and the person thinking about him changed mind and the shelter would take him but put him down. The vet said he would probably have about 2 years left. I know there will be some that think I was wrong but we decided it was best to put Boots down.I have lost cats before but this is the first time I have actually had one put down. I had to stay with him and not leave him with some stranger. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. There was one funny point among the tears. Just before he slipped away he looked at me and gave me one final hiss as a reminder of whatever. I will miss you Boots. Have a happy journey. I love you much. Your slave. |

You did the right thing in a _horrible_ situation. You gave him what was probably the only love he ever got. After he crosses the Bridge or wakes up among the Forever Trees or begins an adventure we cannot even imagine, he will remember you and know you love him. It is possible that you will know his presence again. -- Will in New Haven |

U couldn't leave him out to harm others. Purrs and prayers for all of you. "MLB" wrote in message ... lestark wrote: Over the summer I have been socializing a stray so I can find a home for him.

Purrs for Boots that his trip may be easy, and purrs for you that the
hole in your heart will head, and you will realize how important you were in his life. Julie lestark wrote: Over the summer I have been socializing a stray so I can find a home for him.

I am very sorry for your loss. You did the absolute best thing you
could for Boots. If it's any consolation, I would have done the same.

He lived in garage most of summer and I let him out during days when the weather was nice. I went in there this am and was expecting him to come then it dawned on me that he was gone. Tears again.
