Smooshie has passed away. Many of you know of my cat Smooshie. I am sad to report that we had to put him to sleep yesterday. He had inflammatory bowel disease and lymphoma and started going downhill very quickly. He was the best-natured, sweetest cat I've ever met and I miss him.

He was actually an extremely happy cat, but he didn't enjoy getting his picture taken, especially after haircuts.

(((hug))) I am sorry. It is very hard to lose a pet, and making the decision to end a pet's life is really difficult.

I hope that you can get over this soon.

Oh no! I'm so sorry, amro. Along with Whitey Ford, Smooshie is my favourite internet cat.

Big hugs to you.

Such a difficult decision even when you know it's right.

Smooshie was a special kitty.

Condolences and hugs to you.

Oh amro, I'm so sorry about Smooshie. Even if another cat one day finds its way to your heart, nothing can ever take the special place there you have for Smooshie.

Big hugs to you.

So sad - take care amro.

Oh amro. Be good to yourself. You were so good to Smooshie, and the kitty knew it. It's no comfort now, I know. But you did the hard thing. Maybe take a nice warm bath?

I'm so sorry, amro. (((hugs))) It's so hard to lose a kitty. Seems like a lot of people are losing kitties lately. I imagine them all playing together in a daisy field in the sky.
