Time to say goodbye, goodnight to Pudding

So sorry to hear poor Pudding's life is now coming to a close. But, oh my, what a very long life she has enjoyed! Focus on that jura and remember all the happy times. Good for you for taking her in when nobody wanted her. Bless her little socks indeed.

Dearest Pudding.

Sad that she is reaching the end of a good life which might never have been. I think it was Jilly Cooper who said 'You will never be loved as much as you will by an animal you have rescued.'

Comforting words, I hope.

So sorry to hear about Pudding, what a wonderful cat she is.

Sleep dear Pudding x

Sleep well, you have had a lovely life.

a life well loved. What more can you ask ?

What more could she have asked for - a loving forever home and when the time comes to fall asleep in the arms of those she trusts and who love her best. ??

Thanks all - I do think the best thing we can do with pets we adopt and love, it to know when the right time has come.
So we will be sad, but we will just remember the good times. She is such a very old lady- the vet has not yet given us the date and time. She will come when she is over this way int he next week or so. No way are we taking her to the vet- 15 miles away.

Oh poor old puss! Poor you. These last few days an be bittersweet. At least you'll have a chance to give her a last spoiling and say goodbye. Awww.

thinking of it, she has never been to a vet since we adopted her, only the once to do her EU passport to bring her here.
So home is where we will say goodbye.

Sending hugs jura2 time for her to go and because you love her....you are letting her!

Wishing sweet sleep for little Pudding ?

Feel for you. Our rescued cat from Dubai died of liver cancer over two years ago. DH still mourns her and refuses to have another cat. I agree about not taking her to the vet if it can be avoided.

Well done for choosing to get the vet to come to Pudding's home. It may cost more but it is so much kinder for them to slip away cuddled up on your lap in their own familiar surroundings. And you can weep as much as you like afterwards. You have given her a wonderful life.

Lucky Pudding to have you as a family, she has had a wonderful stress free life since you took her in. And a peaceful pain free end. No cat could ask for more. I feel for you, it's a hard time. to you and dear Pudding.

Jura2 I feel for you ..... poor Pudding, poor you. We love our pets so much. You've given Pudding a loving and happy life and you will never forget her, but maybe at some future time you will feel able to give that love and security to another little cat that needs rescuing. But all that is in the future. for you and a big cuddle for Pudding.

Jura2 - all my sympathy - it is dreadful getting to that stage, but you are doing the right thing, you know.

A life well lived, sleep well Pudding.

It's hard to accept that they only have a short life, compared with ours. Because they're like our closest friends.
But well done Pudding, and you, Jura.

So sad for you but how lovely you have had a long time with her and she will go to sleep being held by the person who has given her so much love. Grief is the pain we pay for love I think that applies just as much to a beloved cat as to a beloved human. I hope we get to keep out cats as long

Thank you for your lovely comments. Spent the afternoon with her, on my bed- then the French vet came to our house at 4 and she went to sleep in my arms ... purring!

Best thing was not to put her through the stress of a long journey to the vet - it was only the 3rd time she had met a vet in her long life. When at the Cat Refuge, for her passport when we moved, and yesterday. Moggies are the best- and live so much longer than bred cats. Sleep tight our PudPud.

And bye from me too - life is too short indeed.

Run free sweet Pudding ??

God bless little pudding, run free now. You did your best for her jura2 that's all she could ask. Take care of yourself now.
