Sad day here today. I had to have my cat, Wyndle, put down. He's been sick the past few weeks and getting worse each day and the vet couldn't tell what was wrong. It was a tough decision but for the best. He was suffering and I couldn't bear it any longer. I got to be with him during the procedure and afterwards we buried him at my parents'.
A little background on Wyndle... I have a younger sister who passed away from cancer in 1999. On her first birthday that year after she passed, I went to our local animal shelter to adopt a kitten. My sister always wanted to name a pet Wyndle so when I adopted a cute orange and white male kitten, I named him Wyndle to honor her memory. So tonight my sister finally got a kitty named Wyndle and is taking care of him for me.
My heart is broken but I have many special memories of him (and lots of pictures to prove it). Here is my favorite picture of him, taken 3 years ago this month.
I'll miss you, sweet boy.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Our furbabies are so special and your little guy had such special meaning to you as well...my thoughts and prayers are with you Chickie!
