Our precious and beloved BooBoo Kitty, who has been a constant source of love, companionship and warms for over 21 years, has passed. Her condition has been worsening for the past week, and left her barely able to move, not able to eat or poop, and we decided to do what's best to give her peace and comfort.

She went peacefully and in my arms. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but we take much comfort in the fact that she is now happy, running and dominating all other animals (she was the alpha cat's alpha cat).

For most of her life, and half of mine, she slept on my chest, nose to nose with me. Karen has had that joy as well for the past years. She ran our house with an iron paw, but had SO much love for us and all our family.

We are very, very sad and emotional right now. But we look back with pleasure and fond memories of the thousands of hours of joy and love she brought into our lives. Even though she will always be with us, we will miss her dearly every single day.

Rest in peace, my beautiful, precious BooBoo. You will always be in Papa's heart.

Thanks everyone. We spent so much quality time with Delia over the years and especially over the past week. The last two days were really rough for her and it was time for her to be peaceful again

We love her so very, very much.

yeah, it hit me even harder than I expected. It's just sinking in what a very long time it was. I was still in college when I got her.

Thanks Jim. I'd thought of that too. And perfectly enough, as we were coming home We Bid You Good Night came on the GD channel.

The furry friends that give their love so unconditionally. We leave them for days at a time, and they still can't help but love us. They heal us when we are sad with their soft fur and tender touch. Always young at heart when its time to play. I feel your loss and know that love is real, not fade away ((((((((((JP and Karen))))))))))

these animals, they aren't exactly tame
they don't always do what we'd like
sometimes they even make us mad
but they get into our hearts in a way
that takes up more space than we even
knew we had. and once there, thank god,
they never leave us.

We received Delia's ashes Thursday. The container is in a beautiful blue velvet bag, with a wonderful story about meeting your pet at the "Rainbow Bridge". When one of us can read it through without breaking down, we'll post it.

Love you all!
