I've had to do the same thing several times, and it never gets easier. But you do the best you can for them, and you never forget them.

Poem For Cats

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

But it's good he went quietly and peacefully. That's a good thing you provided for him. You did good.

Brigid, Patrick knew he was loved, and he loved you. No matter how little or much time you had together, take comfort in that.

It is so hard to let them go from this world. I'm sorry.
