After 15 1/2 wonderful years my kitty Snowball died in my arms last Tuesday. He had been sick for a couple of days prior, but even after a medical treatment he was only getting worse. So my husband and I had to let him go. Although hard as hell I stayed with my sweet kitty (as I have with all of my pets) and held him in my arms until he drifted off to sleep for his last time. I know not everyone thinks cats are great or all that special, but to my husband & I Snowball was very special and when he got sick it was devastating to us. Even the dogs knew kitty was sick and they even seemed to know that he was gone the day we came home from the vets.
Snowball you were a wonderful kitty and we thank you for giving us 15+ wonderful years with you. Always loving and gentle with us and the dogs you will never be forgotten and you will be forever loved. Rest in Peace.
This was Snowball with the 1st chi Munchkin that my husband and I had ...along with Mickey who passed away less than a year ago at the age of 16.
