R.I.P. Charley 1996-2008

It finally happened. I put down my cat on Thursday night. He had gotten to a point where he couldn't even stand up because he was so weak, and he was soiling himself from being unable to get up to his litter box. It was the hardest decision I had to make, but I didn't think it was right to let him live that way, and possibly die in suffering. At least this way he died in his sleep. He went very peacefully. I held him in my lap as they did it. I did most of my crying that night, now I am just drained and tired.
I'll miss him dearly. He was a great kitty.
