We can't have him living in pain just to assuage our sorrow; I always said when there was no hope, when I had advice that it was time to let go, from a trusted source, that I would.

And we will.

Gonna be pretty sad for a while, folks.

Thanks for all the support and advice, encouragement and prayers. Sadly, there's no longer anything anyone can do, and we have to face that fact.

The last cat standing has fallen.
RIP Eddie.
Sorry to hear that man, these losses are never easy. You'll always have the memories and the knowledge that you made a great life for him. RIP Eddie.

We were blessed to stumble upon a brother and sister black kitty that were looking for a home and they've been amazing ever since.

Just know that nothing will ever replace your little kitties. The love you put into another if that ends up being the case is all its own. But never forget that even in death, the bond you shared with your kitties will never go away. I got my first cats name tattooed on my arm. I dont go a day where I dont think about him. But I love the cat I have now as well. Which I will also be getting a tattoo for in due time. Dont hesitate to reach out if need be, bud. I care about ya.
Thanks man, it means a lot, really.

I'll never tell someone to replace a pet and there is a proper mourning period but if you're in a pet household you know full well you'll adopt another critter eventually and they'll be your newest baby.
Thanks Batty. I guess we'll see. Gonna be too raw for quite a while; gonna be very quiet around here now.

Yeah thanks man. Sorry I got a little heated. In the end you were right; I just needed to hear it from a source I trusted. Again, no offence.

He lived a long life. I'm sure he was well taken care of too.

^ Nor have I. I think Eddie's long life was without question due to TH's and Karen's love and care. I'm very sorry, T - shedding tears right along with you. I truly believe that Eddie is in a much better place than we are now, and free of pain. Much love to you and Karen.

21 years for my lady friends cat named "Kitty". The oldest and one of the sweetest little guys you'd ever meet. The sad look on his face the day we walked in and he was sprawled out on the floor not being able to move was rough. I got to hold him along with her when he crossed the bridge though. Sad to see him go.

Sorry to hear about Kitty's passing, Plank. Your lady friend must have taken great care of Kitty to ensure a long and happy life for him. I'm sorry that you had to find him in that condition, but glad that you were able to help him cross over together.
