I second (millionth?) that although his time was short, he was loved, and all the best (although I'm sure they don't seem like "best") decisions were made for him. I'm sure it's hard to have to send a beautiful baby to the Rainbow Bridge, but I find comfort knowing that you don't take these things lightly, and ALWAYS do what's best for the kitten.<br />Thank you for telling us!

It also took him from us. I am so grateful to you Laurie that Filbert, in his short life, knew that he was loved and that a special kindness surrounded him in your home and in your heart. He will always be remembered as the little "nutty" tabby who had a "Hi" for everyone.<br /><br /> My love and prayers go to you all (and hugs and tears).
