[Jerry](http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd384/longhair75/jerry.jpg) We just came back from the vet. Jerry was sixteen. He was having a very hard time moving from his bed to his food dish and litter box. It was time to let him ease off quietly. We will miss him ---

Jerry? As in Tom and Jerry? Excellent character inversion! He was a pretty kitty. 16 years is a good, long life for a kitty but it also means even more heartbreak when they’ve gone. Makes me miss our white Persian, Teddy - gone 8 years now. I am so sorry for your loss. ---

I’m sorry for your loss, cats are almost people. At least, some are … But I did quite a double-take upon reading your thread title. My first thought was that it was about the SMDB’s sysadmin. :eek: ---

I’m so very sorry. Jerry was absolutely gorgeous and I bet he knew how much he was adored. May he rest in peace with lots of nip and fish. ---

perfect name for a longhair cat. I’m very sorry for your loss. We went through this last month after a long period of wondering how long to wait, and I still look for her at times. ---
