You are so right with that one...but at the time you take on a pet you never really hope that you will have to make that decision.You really hope that your pet will die in their sleep after a long and happy life.
So making the decision is always painful.

It is good to see that Gus has returned and looking very well. I don't know these cats, but when you told me that they hadn't showed up after the arctic winter I worried about them...and hped for a good outcome.
The picture did it for me.

I have taken in many stray cats over the years......and if they do not appear for a few days I get a bit twitched.
We used to have a visiting ginger tom...I was really attached to him.
He went missing for six weeks one time. I was really upset about it.....so when he turned up thin and scrawny my husband rang me at work to tell me. I worked for the rest of the day with a huge grin on my mush...all because of a ginger cat.
