My dear sweet Itchy has let us...

Early this morning Itchy lost most of his strength. He was not able to stand any more or walk. I stayed with him all night and helped him to the litter box when he had to go, to the water fountain when he wanted a drink and get under the comforter when he wanted to hide. I stayed by his side and we talked from about <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />1:30am. At 2:30 we rushed him to Electra’s vet to get him some fluids. We wanted him to make it to the morning in hopes of allowing him to pass in his own room where he was happiest. We got back home about 3am and I stayed up still with him till we left for the vet’s at 8:15am. The vet was unable to keep his promise to come here and let Itchy leave from his room due to a full schedule.


We brought him in his covered bed with his monkey and guardian angle kitty. I told him how sorry I was and how much I love him, how much me means to me and how perfect he is. At about 9:10am he received the injection. Itchy turned his head to look at me, then he was gone.

David, I know no words can reach you right now, but I hope in the coming days you realize that you did everything right for Itchy. You made decisions that you thought were best for him, and even though we all possess a little bit of selfishness in wanting to keep a pet alive partly for our own comfort, you NEVER would have done so if you thought it was hurting Itchy in any way. From everything I've read, Itchy had two extra years of love, cuddling, and happiness because of you. Only he could tell you when it was his time, and it wasn't his time back then, it was his time today. And my heart is absolutely broken for you.

Dear ^^Itchy^^, I will miss hearing about your antics. You were truly loved.

Hey there!

It's never easy to lose a pet, especially when we have to make that difficult choice. It's better to let him go than have him suffer. As such a caring pet owner, I'm sure you made the right decisions for him.

It sounds like Itchy brought a lot of fun and enjoyment to your lives. Remember his antics as you try to cope. Talk to Donna and remember Itchy together. Know that we here are thinking of you and Itchy.

Lots of hugs.

Take Care,

Oh David,I am sobbing so hard I can hardly type. I hate to have you go through the pain that I am enduring with the loss of Dusty and now Tiger. Just this am I found a cat hair on my coat and lost it..I am hoping itchy has found Tiger and they can be friends.I hope God is watching for all of them. I know what you mean,that last look before they are gone as I see that over and over in my mind..Take care and love to all those sweet animals that want nothing more than to please us..
