Purrs for a friend and her cat (RB) :o(

I just got off the phone with a good friend, who called in tears with the
news that she'd had to put her elderly cat down. :o(

Melissa was a dilute brown tabby kitty born in 1987, and my friend, Donna,
has had her since she was a kitten. But in the past few years, Melissa had
developed trouble with her heart and kidneys, as well as glaucoma. Donna
kept tabs on her health as best she could, including regular vet visits,
but she knew that Melissa's remaining time was limited.

Today, the vet had to break the news that Melissa's kidneys had shut down.
So Donna had to make the decision to give Melissa the one remaining form
of relief, the final act of mercy. And she's heartbroken.

Purrs of consolation for my friend Donna, and for my little kitty niece's
peaceful journey to the RB, will be appreciated. Purrs for the other
kitties (Tristan, 14, and Alexi, 4) in the household will be appreciated,
too.

One sad Auntie Donna, feeling like even nine lives aren't long enough

Awww.  Purrs for your friend's broken heart and a candle lit for her kitty's
safe passage to the bridge.

Hugs,

Soothing purrs on the way for your friend, her kitty and other kitties and
for you, the sad auntie.  It's so hard to let loved ones go.

Memories of my poor little Mimi.  But it sounds like Melissa had a
wonderful, and long life.  Purrs for all concerned.

Poor little thing.  May Melissa find a peaceful path to walk.  I  hope
your friend Donna's heart doesn't stay broken for too long.

Purrs for Donna and a candle lit for Melissa. Even when you know there
is no choice it's always difficult. :-(

Purrs and blessings for my little namesake kitty on her journey over the
bridge.  But she was a lucky cat in life, having had such a devoted and
responsible slave to care for her.

(((Hugs, Donna))) You'll have many, many years with Captain and Stanley to
enjoy before you must face that last goodnight.  But my sympathy to your
friend.  I chose Francesca because I wanted a lovely brown tabby, so I feel
for the other Donna's loss.
