Thank you for your email and everyone on the list that has offered kind,
supportive words.
I guess the best way to look at it is to cherish and remember the joy they
brought to our lives and that should out-way letting them go. Ideally, that
would be a good way to look at it, but we all know that can be difficult at
times. So we just need to tell ourselves it was worth it. I'm glad Mylo was
in my life. Maybe if he was with another family then he may have not been as
loved...who knows. Maybe I made his life a bit better than it would have
been otherwise and for that I have to say....it was worth it.

Chris, I too went through that, too much times... and every time,
one just cannot believe it hurts so much, and to bear it once more seems
impossible... but...
Today, while I was at the vet's with Rompi, there was a lady with a
black kitty, female, two years old, with asthma... she was black with
a small white whiff under her neck... she was just so MAGIC, with that
look in her eyes, so tender... the look of "the good cat". I was about to
steal her right there! :) In that moment I understood that,
notwithstanding anything, it's impossible to live without cats, and that
the horrible, exhausting experience of "letting them go" is the toll for
what we have received from them during their life. We could discuss if
that toll is fair or too high, but that's it.
Paolo
P.S. I'm going to call the vet's to ask when the black kitty with asthma
is scheduled next time... ;)
