Lily passed away today.
16+ years of being a good meow meow kitty.
She knocked on deaths door a few months after lm and I first met..... I'd like to think she stuck around a bit longer, just cuz she liked me, or maybe she wanted to make sure I'd be good for Michelle.
She'd been losing weight again the past few days, so Michelle took her into the vet for a check-up. Everything came back ok, but we had a plan to take her back next week for some additional tests
During this time, Lily had a real strong urge to be outside. Both Michelle and myself had been keeping her in due to the cold temps. This morning, we (Michelle and myself) thought, maybe she just wants to go off and do this on her own.... maybe she knows it's her time.
Well.... she was right.
Smart kitty.
Bye bye Lily :'(
:'(
Please pass our condolences onto Michelle.
:'(
Sorry Joel.
Awwww, I hope you guys are gonna be ok. That's a long time for a kitty to live!
So sorry BP. :'(

Helen (our ninja kitty) is about 14.
I need a lil break from sick animals..... so I'm hoping she makes it to 16 too.
Thank you all for the kind words.
Michelle and I both appreciate the kindness and warmth you knuckleheads toss our way.
had to put the boy down a couple of years ago... he had leukemia.
it was like losing a child...
Ugh! :-[
Sorry to hear.
RIP, lilly.
Balls.
May Helen live to a healthy 20.
You've had a rough patch lately with the critters -- my condolences, and best wishes for a much nicer few years ahead. You've earned it. Goodbye, Lilly -- you look like you were a very self-possessed old girl.
Sorry to hear that.
My condolences to LM
RIP Lilly. Sorry for your loss Joel.
Our Henrietta is going on 17. We just found out she has a kidney infection. Our cats now live with L's folks. They are living the good life now. Spoiled by the grandparents. We hope HP hangs in there more a bit longer.
Sorry BP. You've been having it rough lately with the little ones :'(
I hope things get better, and condolences to lm

Robin (left) had cancer at age 9...she's in kitty heaven.
Pele (right) is still kicking it strong at age 13, but he has to deal with the new puppy.
R.I.P
:'( :'( :'( condolences
Oh mam, so sorry.
:'( Sorry to hear. When My family moved into our house ( two years before I was born), they adopted the cat the previous owners left behind. She finally passed on when I was 15. It was like losong my best friend. I feel your pain. Condolences.

The toughest part about having pets is we have to say goodbye too soon.
Two great books I share with family when we get sad about losing our kitty friends.

all is well..... just a quiet hush in the house at the moment.
Sorry to hear. That's gotta be tough after 16 years - I can't imagine.
RIP little feline soul.
Sorry to hear of Lily's passing.
Big hugs to all the bp/lm family.
Jeez, bp. I'm crying and I never even met lilly!!!
A big hug to all at your household!!
RIP Lily.
Joel, I feel for you man, I really do, I do know what your going through, my Wife and I recently had to put one of our furry mates to sleep due to feline leukemia.
Damn, that was the hardest thing we have ever had to do.
Mine and my wifes thoughts go out to you and your partner during this difficult time.

Sorry to hear BP. Give LM D's and my condolences.
Sorry to hear. RIP Lily. :'(
No doubt Lily had a great life. I may have said it before but it's what we sign up for with these fur balls. So many years of mutual joy and then the heart break. She was a lucky kitty having the two of you.....
Thanks, everyone, for your kind words and condolences. It has meant a lot to me to read all of your posts. Lily was a very special cat and we were lucky that she found us so many years ago.
