[TW] Blacky has left for Rainbow Bridge

On Monday, 22nd October at about 4:30 pm our vet put him out of his
misery.

After his stay at the animal's hospital we gained some hope. But back
at home he ate less from day to day, no favourite food, no treats
could help. With all his dwindling strength he struggeld against
giving him medicine directly into his mouth. Only his heart tablets -
crushed and put into butter - he accepted till the end.

He stopped cuddling with us. Then he rejected his heart tablets as
well. He wouldn't drink any more. When I held a wet finger before his
mouth, he just turned his head away.

His strength was weakening more and more. We then decided to end his
pain.

We buried him the same evening in our garden - side by side with
Zwinkie, who left us in May 2001 due to reneal failure as well.

Very sad greetings
Michael

A candle has been lit and we're sending comfort purrs your way.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

It is especially hard when you watch your beloved cat dwindle away, and
suffer.

You have given him the kindest, and most difficult gift of all: freedom
from pain and suffering.

I have a special glass candle holder in the shape of a sleeping cat; the
cat is curled around where the candle goes.

I only use it to light candles for the cats who have gone to the Bridge.

(And it seem like I have lit so many lately....).

The candle will burn all night long, for Blacky.

Can you post a picture of him on alt.binaries.pictures.animals?

I would love to see him, as he was in his prime.

Awww =o( It's so sad when we must let them go. Purrs for your grief
to ease, soon. Still, letting him go out gently was the kind,
responsible thing to do, however hard.

Thank You on behalf of Blacky.


Can you post a picture of him on alt.binaries.pictures.animals?

No, I have no access to binary groups, but you can see him on our web
page:

http://www.curschmann-sachsen.de

together with all his late and still living companions.

(I am sorry that the english version of the site does not work :-(
and navigation does not work properly -don't found the reason so far.
But if you start the basic adress given above and click on
"Katerseiten" you find a preview page. Unfortunately the preview pics
don't work as well, but if you click on one the respective picture
gallery works. I have bought an update of my web page designer program
lately and will have to overhaul the site ASAP....)

Sincerely Yours,
Michael

He was a beautiful boy. I'm so sorry you've lost him.

My dear Michael,

Another black cat surely came to meet yours as he came to the Elysian Plains,
and Odessa will keep Blacky company until you meet again.

Blessed be,
Baha
