We have two kitties, Daisy and Rocky and love them to pieces. They are our babies and act like kids. We lost Sweet Pea a few years ago, had to have her put down. She had constant pain and was losing her sight and hearing. It was heartbreaking and one of the hardest things I ever did. I was there in the room with her and she didn't go easy so it broke my heart. I hope that our current kitties will go quickly and peacefully in their sleep like one of our previous pets. Tiger Puff died at about 8 years old, suddenly after having a good day of playing. We found him in the morning and he was smiling and looked peaceful.
