A ripe old age, and I'm sure it was a good life.

Rest in Peace, kitty.

I see you've been a cat caretaker for longer than the tuxedo cats.... I also had a cat die around that same time.

Peaches there and her 'sister' Kiki were my first cats. I'm not sure I have any pics of Kiki on this phone, she passed first, but she was a sweetheart lap cat. Poor thing died of saddle thrombosis. It was a horrible, horrible painful death. I still feel awful about it. I had so many fights with the wife, she absolutely refused to let the cat be euthanized. I was left taking care of a dying cat who was shitting everywhere and generally covered in her own foulness at the end. I'd put a towel on my lap just so she could sit on me.

Kiki! That's the name of my only female cat.

I agree with your wife about refusing to kill my own pets, as I let God be the judge when it's time to die. I would not be against pain medication, though. But you were very kind to comfort your cat at the end by allowing her to sit on your lap. May God bless you for your compassion and show you kindness in your time of need.

When my Miffy died, she was very weak, but she was friendly (to me) right up until the end. She looked pathetic as she lost weight and her eyes began to sink back into her head a little, but she did not appear to be in pain, which I am thankful for. She was the first cat my wife and I had together.

Sorry I missed this. RIP
