Beastie Boy is Ready

» syringa - So sorry

Hi Stacey,

Just popped in here for the first time, and well this was rather a heart-rending first article to read!

I know just how hard it is when it comes to this: an animal in your care is suffering terribly, and there is nothing else anybody can do for him. A decision which comes so often at the end of the life of an animal which reaches advanced age, but not one which ever gets easier to make.

Kidneys and liver are especially at risk in the older cat, although we have been lucky in that it (kidney failure) has never stricken any of our cats before the age of sixteen, by which time one is often more prepared for the sad reality that this animal is not going to live forever.

Well, I hope you will have a healthy recovery from your loss, and will keep your happy memories of your Boy to the end of your own life.

Take care,

syr

Hi Stacey, yes, your sweet Beastie Boy was ready, and you did the right thing. It's so sad to lose one of our fur friends. But the good memories will always stay with you, and Beastie Boy lives on in your heart. Take care! Renie

Hi Mo,

Thank you for reading my article and taking the time to email me. I appreciate your caring. It was a difficult thing but at least I know "the Boy" lives on in our hearts.

Welcome and come back often.
