(10,021 posts)Never sick a day in her life, but one night she came in the house, jumped on my lap, gave me a kiss and then went and laid down in the hallway. She had never done that before and, like you, I knew that her time had come. I got her a pillow, made her comfortable and petted her until about 1am & she went to sleep. I went to bed & the next morning she was gone. Knowing her time was close, I had dug a hole in the yard & found a box that she would fit in. When I went to her in the morning, all 4 legs and her tale were straight out & she no longer would fit in the box or even the hole. No way was I going to break anything so she would fit, so I frantically dug the hole wider & put her in a burlap sack. That was 3 yrs ago, and, because she was such a talker, I truly miss that little cat to this day. Bless you for giving your little cat such a wonderful and beautiful life, full of love and treats. It'll get better but you'll never forget her.
