Time to say goodbye

I'm sitting here in a small old rural graveyard with our much loved cat who's being PTS later today. She was rescued from here with her litter of kittens almost 11 years ago and I always meant to visit to see where she'd been found. It's beautiful, so peaceful and full of trees/birds.

Being an adult black cat she was in the rescue centre for a long time before she chose us. More specifically my children who she climbed all over that day in an attempt to win our hearts.

That she did. She's very vocal and always greeted us when we'd come into a room where she was. I'm going to miss our morning cuddles, when the first person up had to sit down and let her up on their lap for a kiss and a lick of butter off our toast.

Ebony, you'll always hold a very special place in our hearts and will be remembered forever. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

How are you @GetupSeanItsDoleDay ? If you want to share anything about beautiful Ebony please do💐💐💐

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to read/reply to me and I'm sorry for taking so long to acknowledge you all. It was so hard saying goodbye and the house isn't the same without her. She was so socialable and always without fail greeted us when we'd come into a room or if she followed us. There's 4 of us in our family and even though I'm happy having the place to myself it's harder now. Even if she wasn't in the room with me, I was aware of her presence and never felt alone. Thinking of her now as she loved nothing better on a sunny morning than shoo'ing me out into the garden with my morning cuppa and looking for a bit of buttered toast off me.

Gorgeous, so sorry for your loss. I still cry reading these posts as I think about when I had my cat PTS 11 years ago 💔
