More BoyCat ramblings

[baileytc]

I got a sympathy card yesterday from the emergency hospital that treated BoyCat over the past couple of months and on Tuesday night.

I'm so glad you're sharing these things. It's so hard to lose a good boy.

Thank you for indulging my rambling. It really does help.

Today was a better day. But his ashes should be ready in the next couple of days, and picking them up will bring on the waterworks again.

He was such a special cat. It's amazing how a house with four cats running around can still feel empty.

Hug your kitties for me!

It really is therapeutic. That was a lovely gesture from the vet's office, but I have to admit -- if mine had sent a pawprint of Sophie's afterward, I'd have bawled, too. They ARE part of our family, and the loss is bone-deep.

Yeah, it was instantaneous. I saw it and just broke down. When the crematorium called me to finalize the arrangements, they asked me if I wanted a pawprint taken to put on an urn, and I said no and then had second thoughts. So I was shocked but ultimately very glad to have the inked pawprint.

I spent a good bit of the day looking at urns online. There are some beautiful ones, and it will be hard to choose.
