My baby is home forever......in a beautiful wooden sleeping cat  :Luv2:
I also have some in a scatter box so I can put some under her bush and some with Missy.

I used the Surrey pet cemetery, what a lovely place it is.
There's a room just like you would get at a Crematorium with a little platform and a curtain. I could have had a 10min service but I didnt feel we needed it.
I cut some fur from her and the man put it in a lovely little green drawstring bag......

So thats it.....all over, can't quite believe it really...but there you go !!
I will do a tribute for Rainbow Bridge page but not today

Don't feel so excited today  :'(
Got mixed feeling .....feel quite sick tbh.....think is gonna be a tough day  :'(


I took loads of pics of Issey when i brought her home on Friday.....I made a bed for her in the bottom half of a carrier, I put her paw over her face like she used to sleep and then put some roses in with her ..... she looked so beautiful and peaceful.

Not weird at all, I took a pic on my phone of Max after we'd let him go, firstly because J wasn't there and I wanted him to see that Max was at peace, and secondly so I could remember how beautiful my boy looked even when his life was gone  :hug:  I still have the photo, can't bring myself to delete it just yet  :hug:

I understand  :hug: I've never told anyone this but I asked the vet if I could take a pic on my phone of Tiggy after she had gone - I think I just needed to be able to see that she was gone and remember how peaceful she looked  :(

I'm not sure how they would have kept her body over the last few days so prepare yourself for her not looking the same  :hug:

You know I am picking Issey up from my vets tomorrow to take her to be cremated.....
Well this is gonna sound kinda sick but i can't wait to see her, i'm almost excited.

My husband doesn't understand and thinks i'm weird.....maybe i am ?!
Even my Son says I'm odd

Can anyone understand where I am coming from ?

So very sorry to hear this Michelle

___________________________

A soft full tail, exquisite eyes,
soft purring at the door,
playful swatting, frequent naps,
toys strewn across the floor.

With gentle rubs and playful purring
you made your presence known
and, knowing you were always there,
we never felt alone.

You loved it when we scratched your ears,
we swear it made you smile.
We could never stay angry with you,
we couldn’t if we tried.

The soft sweet purring now has ceased,
no gentle rubs to greet us,
just memories of a special friend
and good times are all we see.

Although we miss you dearly,
we’ll try not to feel so blue,
because we know that there’s a bridge
for special cats like you.

i am so sorry to hear she couldnt win this battle, but she had a fantastic mum who gave her every chance possible and then allowed her to go with dignity and with the person who loved her most - she is now with Missy, and they will be saying how fantastic you are. Please take care of yourself and make sure you keep drinking. RIP little one. xx

Thank You all so very much for sharing this journey with Me and Issey, it has meant so much having friends who care and I thank each one of You from the bottom of my broken heart.

Today really couldnt have gone any better tbh ......and I made the decision not a day too late or a day too early

on returning from the vets this morning she just laid on the floor quietly, then about midday she suddenly wanted to go in the garden so I helped her out there to lay under her fav bush....then she wanted something to eat and had half a plate of tuna....

She started crying about 2.15 which is when I knew it was time......

It was done differently to how I have seen before...the vet gave her 3 injections in her tummy first, she was so good as just lay on the table...then I picked her up and
I held her with her head on my shoulder and her arms around my neck.....that was so lovely because she was so close to Me and the vet could get her arm.

I brought her home for a few hours which was lovely as we had loads of cuddles, I have now taken her back to the vets where she will stay for the weekend.....I will collect her Monday and take her to be cremated

I think I am just totallly numb tonight, I have cried myself stupid and feel sort of in a daze now....can't imagine life without Issey  :'( :'( :'( :'(
