She has been part of our life for 16 years. 16 years of inconditionnal love, even though she did not hesitate to express her mind. Until a couple of years ago, she would wait for us from the top of the roof. When she was no longer able to climb there, she was waiting in the entrance. Somehow, she always knew we were there before we hit the door. She was my shadow, following me anywhere from my very first step in the morning, cuddling with me whenever possible.
I took the difficult decision to let her cross the bridge this morning, while she had still her dignity. The vet and her assistant were very kind, and made it as good as possible. Their kindness helped me a lot. I stayed with her until her last breath, stroking her head like she liked me to do, telling her how much I loved her. I already miss her, a lot.

You have my deepest sympathy Vero. How sad to lose such a sweet friend. Big ((HUGS)).
I am so sorry! I know how dearly you loved her, and she was one special old lady cat. You took the best care of her, and she knew that. Please know that I'm thinking of you, and I know it's really hard to let them go!

Pensées affectueuses et réconfortantes. C'est tellement dur de perdre une petite compagne comme ça, et je te souhaite bien du courage, à bientôt j'espère.
Vero! I'm so sorry about your dear Choupette crossing the bridge. What a sweet love she's been in your home and lives. We have such love for our pets, don't we?
Vero!
Remember our cats have place in our hearts forever and will never be forgotten.
Big hug,

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Choupette. Hope she has already met some friends over the bridge and happy running and meowing with friends.
There is always a hole left in our heart when our loved ones leave us, hopefully those fond memories of them will fill up the hole.
Take care, Vero!
