You did the kindest and most brave and loving thing hun, no cat could hope for more loving companions than you two and Max was an inspiration to all prospective FIV cat owners.

Play hard at the bridge big fella, say hi to my Scott, Oli and Suzie.

Much love and sympathies.

Clare do you have some one to come and stay with you till J comes back.
I share your pain with you . :hug: :hug: :'(

I know there is no word that can ease your pain and sorrow.  Just remember we, who all knew and loved Max, sincerely share them with you as tears are welling up in my eyes.  And he will stay closer to you always, more than it seems. 
Have a great time over the bridge beautiful boy.  We will always remember you, just as mummy does.

Oh Clare I'm so sorry  :(  :( :hug: :hug: I know that no words will help but we are all here for you and I'm sure Max is grateful that you let him go with the dignity he deserved. A beautiful boy who had a simply wonderful life with you. I hope soon you can look back on 9 wonderful years of love and happy memories you shared with tears of joy rather than tears of sadness that he has gone :hug: :hug:

Sweet dreams beautiful Max xxxx

So sorry Clare, you gave him a lovely life and let him go with dignity   :hug: :hug:

I haven’t left
I sat on your bed last night I came to have a peep
I could see that you were crying and you found it hard to sleep

I purred to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
Its’ me i haven’t left you, im well im fine, im here

I was close to you at breakfast i watched you pour your tea
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached out to me

I walked with you towards the house as you fumbled for your key
I gently put my paw on you I smiled and said 'it’s me'

You looked so very tired and sank into a chair
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there

It’s possible for me to be so near to you every day
To say to you with certainty I never went away

You sat there very quietly then smiled I think you knew
In the stillness of the evening I was very close to you

Now the day is over.... I purr and watch you yawning
And say goodnight, god bless, I’ll see you in the morning

And when the time is right for you to the cross the brief divide
I’ll rush across to greet you and we'll stand side by side

I have so many things to show you there is so much for you to see
Be patient, live your journey out then come home to be with me

Clare I can't believe what I am reading, your post has upset me and I shed a tear, you've given Max the best possible life and you gave him a dignified parting.

Thinking of you and J, it was obvious how much Max meant to you both  :hug: :hug:

RIP Max, play hard at the bridge sweetheart

He was most definitely a handsome boy. He was also extremely loved, and he'll have known it.

Oh my darling i am so so sorry for you. I can't believe you have lost your dear sweet Max. I know from Losing Mr Darcy yesterday, and having to make that horrendous decision that you will be feeling like your heart has been ripped out. I have had to come into work today and am struggling. It's so hard. I have just eaten the first thing since Wednesday. You must eat hun. I know it is hard but I feel better for it. I am here for you. Go through this with me if you need support.

Party hard with Mr Darcy at the Bridge x

You have given him the most wonderful gift of a life full of love and the dignity to love him enough to let him go with his dignity intact :hug:

I can hardly see for crying here, I made the decision to let my darling boy go this morning  :'(

He did not have a good night, he had diahorrea yesterday and this morning, messed his tray, and weed on the floor as well, he's never ever done that before, so I set him free whilst he still had the dignitiy I've always wanted him to have.

I feel like my heart has broken in two, I had to go on my own as J is away for a few days, and whilst I have no doubt whatsoever that I've done the right thing, it just hurts so very much  :'(

God Bless Max, we had 9 amazing years together, and I was blessed to have you share my life, I will never ever forget you, and I know we will meet again someday on Rainbow Bridge.  Mummy and Daddy love you so very much, and although my heart broke in front of me, I hope you know that I was with you right until the very end.  Please send me a rainbow sweetheart, and go find Phoebe, Boy and Mr Darcey to play with, they're new too and you can all play together  :'(

I've got to go for a bit now, I feel so sick, I need to eat but I just can't  :'( :'(
