Jeanne dear, I think you may be right.
I let Hugo Katt wait too long and I have regretted it ever since.

HUGS for both of you!!!

I'm so sorry to hear that Jeanne.  It's always hard to lose a loved one, but
it's especially hard to lose them at Christmastime.  Purrs for a peaceful
journey to the bridge for Natasha, and for you and your breaking heart.

Hugs,

Awww Jeanne, I am so very sorry. Please give Natasha a scritch from us.
 I'm sitting at my desk crying for both you and Natasha - I'm going to
have to go outside for a moment so no one questions my tears. I'll light
a candle to help guide her on her journey and another for your poor
breaking heart.  You are giving her the gift of love, but I'm sure it
doesn't feel that way at the moment.  I am sure my Selena will be
waiting at the Bridge to greet her.

Hugs and scritches,
Julie, Hobbes, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus

Purrs for Natasha.

That would be a *definite* TW.  I seldom hear anything so sad.  But
I'm glad she told you - that must be a comfort.  I'll be thinking of
you both today.

I'm really sorry to read this post. But you make a loving and caring
decission for Natasha. When she stopped eating and drinking, she gave
you a sign. And your description of her behavior lets me think, that
she said good-bye to everything. You do the right thing.

When our Pim (21) gave 'the sign' we didn't see it and he suffered
more than neccessary. We regret it deeply.

We will light a candle for Natasha's safe trip to the bridge and we
will think of you in this bitter hour.

Purrs and hugs

I'm so so sorry, Jeanne. The tears are streaming down my face as this
reminds me of Frank's last day. Many purrs on the way for you both. It's
such a hard decision to make, but you know that it's time. Please give
your girl a last scritch from me.

{{{{{{{{{{Jeanne}}}}}}}}}}

This group will be purring and thinking of you and dear N. all day today.
It's hard to know what to say. How terribly sad :((

 Of course, Jeanne.  I'm so terribly sorry to hear this heart-rending
news.  Many purrs for sweet Natasha's gentle journey to the RB.  My
heart goes out to you during this hard time.  Hugs.

I'm so sorry!  My thoughts will definitely be with you and Natasha this
afternoon.

Often they can tell us when it is time.  And while I think there are a few
of us who have waited maybe a little to long and sometimes regret it, hardly
any think they made the decision too soon.

This will be easy for her, but not for you.  Sometimes that is one of the
costs of love.

Many purrs.

"...Rise up slowly, Angel.   It's hard to let you go..."
Purrs that her passing is peaceful but it is still hard to deal with.
It was nine years ago today that TuTu entered my home after the passing of
Princess one month earlier.  Nine years have passed very fast.  Best
wishes.   MLB

You got 'em -- with some extra tears thrown in.  I'm so sorry.

Purrs and prayers for Natasha and for you. If she does go,
we will send more prayers for her safe journey to the RB
and for you.

Lily & her mama

thank you for respecting your friend and listing to her.  I will pray and
the cats will purr, Lee

{{{{{{{{{{Jeanne}}}}}}}}}}

My thoughts are with you and Natasha.  I know how hard this decision is,
but it is the last gift you can give your baby.

My heart goes out to you.

Blessings,

It is so very, very unfair that we are destined to out live our little
furry ones who have brought so much love and happiness into our lives.

Many purrs for Natasha, and your broken heart.

My little girl Natasha crossed The Bridge at about 3:30 PM today.  She
was 19 years, 8 months, and 4 days old.  

I first met her when she was 3 days old.  She was a nice, sweet, quiet
kitty who liked nothing better than to look out the window and watch
the world.  She was a great traveller - so much that she'd really let
me know if she couldn't see out the car windows from her carrier! I
eventually worked out a system where I'd put a small suitcase across
the car seat, put her carrier on top of that, and use the seat belt
shoulder strap through the carrier's handle to secure the whole thing.
I wouldn't hear a peep out of her after that - when I'd check on her.
Tasha would be laying there, quite contentedly looking out the door
and side vent at the passing scenery.

Natasha shared me with her older "brother" Tribble (RB) for 16 of her
years. He was rambunctious, and she'd watch him do crazy things with
an expression on her face as if she was saying "you idiot!"  More than
once I've been on the receiving end of that same look.

I don't think she particularly cared for kids, or at least she wasn't
around them enough to ever get used to them. But she was very patient
with my niece, and put up with a toddler's pokings and proddings and
hesitant attempts to "Be soft when you pet Tasha so you don't hurt
her".  And then she'd neatly take a  cat treat from small excited
hands, sometimes giving them a little lick too.

I held Natasha as she passed, and it was very quiet. One minute she
was there, the next she was not. She spent her last few moments
looking out the treatment room's window at some trees and bushes, and
then turned her head to look right at me as the medicine was given.

I know what you mean. Dear Amber told me when he was ready to go. So
we schmurgled and said our goodbyes. It really did help the grief to
let him go when he wanted. May you find that same peace. Many
heartfelt purrs for you and Natasha and your love.

Purrs for Natasha to have a gentle journey to the Bridge!

Gennie and Marietta

Purrs, thoughts, hugs, and the knowledge that we all understand.

The bravest thing a person can do sometimes is to just let go. Natasha won't
be gone; she'll have just retired, she's earned her rest in a place where
it's always warm and there are lots of butterflies to chase. And when the
time comes, you'll be together again and she'll be thanking you.

And we are all thinking of you. Be strong as we offer our prayers, and lots
of purring from the experts. A purr is a prayer, and the cats never forget
where they come from.

Blessed be (and know that we and the Higher Powers are with you)
