Perfect....the cutest name....:-)... Yes, i know what you mean........my cat Allie suffered few days only too, luckily...one day she was fine....two days later she passed away....
I know how sad this makes you {{{hug}}} My cat (Ruby) is 12 years old and I see her aging, she has become a bit boney and has that demon Arthur ritis too. I love her like a child and dread the day she goes....
Oh what a beauty he was! He is the image of my dear departed Harry (aka 'Tubkins' and 'pusscat' hence my profile name :) I held him in my arms as he left me but I was so glad that I was there for him. He it no more than he deserved for all the love and laughter he gave me - and boy - did he give me some laughter :)
It may have only been 6 years with Perfect but what a wonderful 6 years i bet they were. They become a part of us don't they, our little furry babies? They leave a huge gap when they go but they also leave behind the most wonderful array of memories. My heart goes out to you on your loss. I am glad he is at peace now.
