We took my cat Cory in to be euthanized today. It was, as most of you
understand, a very hard decision to make regarding the timing. But we think it
was time. We took him outside before his appointment and, it was so sad, he
just laid on his side with his head down in the grass as though he was just too
tired to stay upright. As has been my experience in the past, the last 2 days
leading up to this were awful...wondering if I should wait a little longer,
going back and forth second-guessing our decision. Now that it is over, it's
not nearly so bad. Of course, I miss him, it's horrible, 18 years of sleeping
with someone as sweet as him will be hard to do without...but I do feel the
time was right and I'm glad he is free of his deteriorating little body now.
He went very quickly and very gently and didn't seem at all afraid. Here is
the message I sent out about him to family and friends:

Just a month short of his 18th birthday, Cory went to join his mom, Emily, and
his adopted sister, Miles, as well as other kitties and humans who had the
pleasure of knowing him. He left life as he lived it, sweetly and gently. We
will always love him and never forget him and we know that soon the memories of
all the cute and funny things he did for all those years will outweigh the
sadness we feel at his loss. He had a long and happy life but it is never long
enough for those left behind. We hope we will all be together again someday
and, until then, we have another sweet kitty angel watching over us. Goodbye,
sweet Cory.

Candy and Tony, Cory's parents

Candace,

I'm so sorry to hear of Cory's passing. He had a good, long
life and was well loved. It is so hard to make the decision
to help a loved one at the end of their life, but you gave
him a gift and I know he will still be with you in spirit.

Thank you so much for the kind words when my Claire had FIP
and passed on. You, Tony, and Cory are in my thoughts and
prayers.
