Goodbye Pumpkin

My mom is at the vet right now putting down her 20 year old cat named Pumpkin. He would've turned 21 this summer. He was a very large, spunky cat in his hayday, and really up until a year ago. However he let my mom know yesterday that it was time. I don't have any pictures on my computer, but I will get one from my mom. I still remember when we got him, I was in college and he was this orange fluff ball of a kitten. Thank you Pumpkin for being such a good cat to all of us, but especially to my mom. We will miss you always.

UPDATED to add a photo of Pumpkin. He was about 1 1/2 years old here.

Hormones or what I'm crying...I'm such an animal lover. I'm so sorry. This must be very difficult and I wish your mom some hugs and good thoughts!

I need to talk to Tracy, but do you want to do lunch again sometime soon? That would be fun!

Oh, I'm so sorry. That's such a tough thing. I know that time is approaching for us and our old dog, and it is heartbreaking.

My Mum had her 18 year old cat put to sleep last week too. She was inconsolable. So sad.

It's so hard to have a pet put to sleep. Sending you and your Mom a hug.
