thanks everyone for your kind words.   It doesn't seem right her not being with me as a type as she was a devil for lying on the computer, but I know it was for the best.       She's with her mum [my mum] now and they will both always be with me in my memories

Really sorry to hear this  :hug: It's heartbreaking watching them succumb to CRF, not eating is most definitely one of the final stages and she even had meds to combat that which didn't work so ignore your boss  :hug:

RIP Candie, safe and sound at the Bridge by now, waiting until your Mum is ready to collect you xx

The Greatest Gift

I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then, and I will keep that promise now...
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.

It is for me alone to make this decision,
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fear rides high,
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.

It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.

The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened,
And unlike other decisions I have made
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.

For if there´s one thing you´ve taught me,
If there´s only one thing I´ve learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.

Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
Go find the ones who've gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.

I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this; as long as I live,
You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.

So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."

Forever and Always... Until Rainbow bridge....

we had our beloved 14 year old blue colourpoint persian pts today.       She was suffering from CRF and had stopped eating.      we tried mirtazpine to try and encourage her to start eating again which it did briefly only for her to stop again.      We tried loads of treats including ham but nothing would tempt her.      It was a hard decision to make as she seemed quite bright otherwise.      We couldn't bear the thought though of her not eating and fading away.      She spent most of the weekend sunning herself in the garden.            We only bred two litters of kittens and she was the first kitten from the first litter.        She was also my mother's cat which made her all the more special to me.        We lost mum to alzheimer's four years ago.     

My boss upset me though as when I said we had her pts as she wasn't eating, she said that her friends cats weren't eating either due to the hot weather.       Makes me feel that perhaps I should have given her a bit longer and that the reason she wasn't eating was because of the hot weather, not because she was ill.
