    I always see dignity in old animals. I remembered my cat.

  14. Isabelle: yes, it was very peaceful. and much better than watching her health fail any more. it was the kind of ending I think I would like if there was no hope.

  15. So sorry for the loss of your old companion. Kitties can be so sweet and loving. It's good that you are a photographer. You can make a nice memory photo album of Abby. I'm sure you have lots of photos.

  16. Geewits: thanks. sadly, I don't have many pictures. I only got back into photography 3 years ago and I wish I had taken more of her...

  21. Oh how sad...sending wobbly hugs from NZ! I am so thankful my 2 moggies are still ok but Lynx is slowing down big time. They are such characters aren't they?

  25. So sorry to read about Abby's death. She got to a good age! I hope you can get another cat and have some comfort there.
    I still miss having a cat, and being able to indulge in lots of stroking of fur, and appreciating the purring - such a wonderful sound and sensation.

  26. mrwriteon: yes, but it would have been sadder to watch her in pain

    persiflage: thanks. I will get another, but not until the fall, I think. perhaps you will, too?
