I feel bad for your loss **dwyr**. He sounds like as fine of a cat as one can be. You did the right thing, giving him the final gift of compassion. I will light a candle and thing of your **Dwyr** tonight. ☹ ---

Dwyr, I’m so very sorry for your loss. He sounded like a wonderful feline companion and he had a good life with you. ((((Hugs))))) I hope you find happiness again with another feline companion. Cats are wonderful creatures. Prayers are with you and your kitty angel. ---

Oh \*\* Dwyr\*\* I am very sorry to hear about your cat. Of course he will be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge and you will see him again. I know that isn’t much comfort now, but it will be one day. Love and hugs to you. Peace. ---

**dwyr** , I’m so sorry for your loss. It hurts and your kitty seemed like a great friend to have. Don’t forget to stop by the Rainbow Bridge, it might make you cry but it might help you heal too. Hugs to you. ---

**dwyr** , thank you very much for telling us about your kitty. Dwyr sounded like a very fine cat indeed. The two of you enjoyed a wonderful life together. It been nearly a week since my bird Brat died - perhaps he and Dwyr are in the same place (they both liked high places). I can just see Brat sneaking up on Dwyr and murmuring a soft “Whatchadoing?” in his ear. I agree with the Rainbow Bridge idea - powerful emotions yet strangely comforting. And know you have a lot of Dope Love here from both the pet-owned and not. ---

I’m so sorry, **dwyr** , and **brachy** too. My heart goes out to both of you. And **dwyr** …what a beautiful, loving tribute you made for your best friend. Along with your post, it made me cry…but it also made me so happy for you that you had each other for a very long time, in cat years. I feel so bad for you. ---

I do plan to go to the Rainbow Bridge site, but not just yet. Thanks very much everyone. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/decision-for-dwyr-sad-for-pet-lovers/149380.md?page=1)
