It is very hard, I know, but you did what was right for your friend.
He isn't in pain now and he isn't tired. He is with those who have
gone before and probably hanging out with Zwinkie. Purrs from our
household for your broken hearts.

Mein hertzliches Beileid. Die Verlust eines Lieben, sei es Mensch oder
Tier, ist immer schwer. Wie viele hier schon sagen, Zeit heilt... aber
langsam...

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.

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.

Thank You on behalf of Blacky.

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.
