Ladybirder, I haven't been on AB for some months, but I came here tonight to ask for supportive words after our lovely cat Basil had to be put to sleep on Wednesday. We took him to the vet as he was constipated, but it turned out he had a lymphoma on the colon, thyroid problems, a heart murmur and cystitis, and probably only had a few weeks left to live.
Mr Frog and I were heartbroken, but reading your words and the responses from the lovely AB folk has got me in floods of tears, but has given me so much comfort. I'm not sure you'll read this as the thread is nearly two weeks old, but I just want to say how much I feel for you. Your Maggie was a lucky girl to be so loved, and I know the pain you must feel. No doubt you did a special little ritual for her as we did with our Baz.
Big hugs to you, Ladybirder, and I hope Maggie and Basil are enjoying eachother's company in another place. Kiki xxx
