Sad day today

[JaceLancs]

Had to have my male cat James 15 put to sleep tonight
He had bladder cancer and dementia
I've shed more than a few tears on DS and am now having a few drinks
Rest of family and some friends don't understand as they're not cat lovers
I'm just about to go on holiday and I just can't raise an ounce of enthusiasm

So sorry :(

Lovely pic. He's At peace now and I bet he had a lovely life

Gorgeous cat. Im really sorry to hear that. Xx

He's adorable. So sorry for your loss. We all understand your sadness. Take care and go on your hols. A change of scenery will do you the world of good. He'll always be with you, wherever you are.

Aw, I'm so sorry, he looks a lovely boy (I have a soft spot for B&W cats).Cats are part of the family so it's perfectly normal to be upset.
Have a few drinks in his memory and look after yourself and for you.

Aw he's gorgeous

So sorry
Lovely photo of James, beautiful boy

What a sweetie - that is a gorgeous picture. So sorry for your loss

Thank you your messages they mean a lot
He was a handsome gentleman and kept himself dapper to the end
Evie (younger tabby sister) is looking rather lost tonight
I suspect she will soon enjoy being centre of our attention
Will try and find a pic of them together.....

RIP beautiful kitty.

So sorry for your loss. I truly understand your pain as I had to have my 17 year old ginger tabby Tiggy put to sleep following a heart attack in February, it rips a hole in your heart when you have to say goodbye to a beautiful furbaby.💐

James and Evie

He was beautiful. You gave him a graceful death, take comfort that saved him from suffering.

Heartbreaking for you

Bless him and bless you. Lots of cuddles with Evie tonight. James looks like a beautiful and serene cat.

James is beautiful - you gave him a fabulous life and a peaceful death - who could ask for more?
Sending

Thank you again and hugs to all who have also lost their dear friends
DD is coming round in morning to help me pack and hopefully cheer me on my way
Xxxxx

What a handsome cat. Of course it hurts - it's ok to grieve for him, he was your friend and companion for many years. hope the holiday is restorative.

I'm so sorry. People who aren't pet folk just don't get it do they.

What a beautiful boy. I'm so sorry for your loss

So sorry to hear about your gorgeous James. I know it's really hard (I went through this exactly six weeks ago), so I'm sending you a hug. I think you know you did the right thing for him. He had a lovely life in a caring home, so hold onto that - in a few days you'll be able to look back on the happy memories you have.

What a beautiful boy. I truly believe cats know how much we love them.
Tell us your favourite story about James.

Hugs to ifonly4 and teenagersandfurbies plus anyone else who has had a recent loss
It does get easier with time - I have lost many cats over the years and remember each and everyone with great fondness
James was a very cuddly cat, who used to sleep in very strange positions on occasions such as flat on back with all 4 legs in air
I have a lovely film of him and Evie playing in the sun it was like synchronised rolling in the catolympics
