    My sincere condolences. I lost my 16 year old cat to cancer this year. Try to remember the good times.

      This was a large growth that was likely cancerous in her bowels. Operable but not without great pain. I am focusing on the great times and pictures I have with her.

        For what it’s worth, I think you made the right call. Knowing when to fight and hold on and when to help them go is the hardest part of having pets.

        She had the best life a cat could ask for and you gave that to her.

    Remember the good, and bad (all times with pets are good really).

    Athena Rules!

    Long will she reign in your heart.

    We lost our Athena 2 years ago now. I have fond memories of her and how it felt like her name got to her head (definitely felt she should be treated like the goddess of wisdom)

    Lost my cat to cancer this week, too. They give us so much, don’t they? Whenever I come home and there’s no cat to trip over, it hurts.

    I adore the handsome cravat Athena wore. How regal!
