Sentimental fool that I am, I like to picture where all my ex-cats are now. It’s a small farmhouse, set on the top of a grassy hill. The house has all open windows and doors, and a wraparound porch, so they can lie in the sun, or shade - whichever they prefer - all day long. It never rains, and there are always bowls of nibbly food lying around, mice and critters to hunt, and dogs to tease and hide from. Even the ones that didn’t get along here, with us, up there, they’re all tolerant and playful with each other. Bo is probably up there right now - waiting patiently for his people and cat friends to drop in. RIP Bo - A lovely tribute to a great cat. **MBG** ---

Sounds like Bo was a loving cat who was very loved in return. So sorry for your loss. ---

My condolences, as well. As blessed as you surely were to have Bo as a cat, I bet he was equally blessed to have you as a friend. ---

You have my deepest sympathies, **Boscibo.** I hope it gets better for you soon, though I know how long the pain can last. My family lost our Gussycat this last New Year’s Eve, and we’re still deeply hurt. I’m so sorry about your Bo. Take care. ---

I feel your pain. I’m waiting to hear back from the vet today, but there’s a very large chance that our sweet little Tammy only has a few weeks left. ☹ We lost her littermate Max this past January, and I still haven’t really confronted the idea of losing her as well–especially so soon after her brother. :sigh: ---
