All kitties are beautiful…just watching them makes me smile…we lost our male kitty, Jaeger, last October when he was only 17…almost always having been a good eater, without warning he just stopped eating…the emergency Dr said it was due to a cyst pushing against his stomach, and that not only was he in a lot of pain, but that due to his age, the surgery would be very risky…I still miss him terribly…

My Sophie is 22 years old. She is the best animal ❤ I have owned. I have owned many animals, cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs. She is a brilliant companion. I am very lucky to have such an intelligent cat. Its unreal how intelligent she is.

Good advice. My vet & I have already this discussion, & it centers on quality of Life rather than quantity. As heartbreaking as it is to say "goodbye" to your furbaby, it's cruel to torture them just to keep them alive. I went this once, & will never do it again. 😿❤

I remembered when my Cassie was saying goodbye. A few hours before she passed away, she came up to me and gave me her sad look. She passed away peacefully in her sleep. RIP Cassie. 😪❤

Sad an ancient story book doesn't prove God is loving. The actions of God prove an evil monster creator. Love cats, but i don't worship evil
