Reply #25: This is sad to hear

I hate that you guys have to endure it.

I have never been in that situation with any of my critters. I couldn't begin to imagine the ordeal.

17 years...

You want to hear something weird? I am near 40 years old, and it wasnt until about a year ago that I knew cats could live so long. We had cats growing up, but they were "barn cats." It seems like 6-7 years was their span. We took care of them, mind you. It was just how I was raised where cats are outside creatures. I sure changed my tune when I learned how they enjoy the indoors and how much that can affect them. Flash is lucky to have you as a nurturer. I bet they were 17 wonderful years.

I am sorry you guys have to go through this but I feel that you will do what is best for Flash.

PS: sorry I'm so long-winded.
