    So my little rescue cat has the sharpest nails... she digs into my skin without trying... they were too long and curling underneath. She seemed in pain while walking so I clipped her front nails - just the tips.... she seems really happy with that and is scratching the post again and walking about happy... she did not protest too much at all.

    I woke up yesterday and found her in between my arm and my side with her head on my shoulder, snoring in my ear.

    She has so many colors I think she is a melted Kandinsky painting.

    I had to have my baby Sassy put down.

    I'm not okay.

    So so sorry Aeri. [​IMG]

    Sassy knows you loved her, and that it was only because of you she lived and loved as long as she did. Don't be surprised if you get a visit in your dreams.

    blessed be

    I'm sad to hear this Aerianne! I am sure Sassy was special and will always be with you. Hang in there - we love you!

    Me too.

    Still, I saved her and gave her the joy of playing with all my other cats, knowing extreme love from hubby and I for a little over 3 months.

    I wouldn't change that, no matter my pain.

    It's not like I could have walked away from her crying in the back of that junk truck.

    I had to take her in, bottle feed her...do all that I could.

    She's okay now. It's only my heart that is broken.

    Best cat my family had was one found in a dumpster on a Caribbean island. We named her Ganja, she was a calico I remember bottle-feeding her and watching her grow, have three litters before being fixed, and living to the ripe old age of 16. She lived on several islands, in Florida and in Virginia... a traveling cat.

    Sassy may have had a short life but surely she knew that she was loved. What more could a cat want. [​IMG]

    It broke my heart to read about Sassy......and i tried to think of what she looked like, and now I know. I feel even sadder now. :( She was so adorable and so loving looking......I worry every day for Minxy....who is so tiny at her full grown weight and throws up much of the food she eats.....

    We do all we can...and it is not always enough.....and it is always heart breaking on so many levels...

    I am sorry, Sassy.....You are loved forevermore.

    They vet left a message yesterday saying that Sassy's ashes were back. We can pick them up anytime because it's a 24 hour vet.

    We need to go get them one day this week.
