[...] was a little girl, I had gerbils. And when we were a young married couple without kids, we had a cat. He made me so ill that we had to give him away. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done [...]

Thanks for that lovely tribute to Peanut! Seven months later and I still cried reading about him. I do miss him so much. I believe our white kitty, Swiffer, misses him a great deal too. Since he passed away she has started trying to get outside and has made it out several times. Even just this morning she was staring longinly out the back door and looked up and mewed a few times. The kids and I still think she’s waiting for him to come home. Either that or she assumes it’s her turn to go in and out like Peanut always did:)

Well, thanks for sharing him with us. He was the best cat we ever had and cannot ever be replaced. Each one has such a different personality and he indeed had the best!

I had a cat like that. She died in her sleep. It was the only animal I’ve ever had that didn’t have to be put down. Still brings tears to my eyes and that was 4 years ago.

Darn pets, they grow on ya. =)

So sorry for your lost. We’ve had so many Peanuts come in and out of our lives: Lummy, Jo-Jo, Buffy, Buster, Fluffy and Frisky. We currently have Ichibod, Ramses and Morgan. They’ve all been special in their own ways. Peanut was lucky to have so many people love him.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Peanut sounded like a fantastic, one-of-a-kind pet that touched everyone around him.

I had to make a phone call like that to my sister-in-law last November. My parents took in her Cairn Terrier, Bailey, about seven years ago when Bailey was already seven years old! She was the ripe old age of 14 at the time she died, but it was a hard call to make nonetheless.

Oh, I’m sorry Jo-Lynne. This breaks my heart ’cause I’ve been there. I am a big pet person and I’ve been so sad at every one that has reached their time on earth.
We had to put our dog Britney to sleep when she was 14 because of a tumor in her neck. She was so sick she could barely get up, it was awful to watch.
And one time we had to give away two of our cats. They also knew that something was not right and went into the arms of their new owners mewing and scrambling to get out.

I had a cool cat one time too. He is greatly missed, and no cat that we’ve had since is nearly as wonderful. Yes, they’ve all be good cats, but not great. I know you understand that sentiment.

My condolences…. {{Hugs}}
