Thanks so much. I'm tearing up again, too, because it always amazes me how many people who adore their cats the way I did mine understand what a great loss it is to lose so beloved a pet.
I wanted Billy to just die peacefully at home, too, the way my female cats, his "siblings" had, but after four days of watching him like that, I couldn't watch it anymore. He could barely walk without toppling over, and it just broke my heart. But bless his little heart, each time I'd gently pick him up and try to comfort him, he'd perk up a little and purr.
I had a Siamese when I was a child, Ming Tai, but he only loved me... he terrorized everybody else. I wonder if that's common for Siamese cats to bond with only one person?
