Good bye, Snaps………

Snaps,

two days have gone by since we had to make this terrible decision for you – we just didn’t want for you to suffer since you had always been such an active baby. Two days where we cried until our eyes burned, two days where we listened if the noise of your claws on the wood floors would come back, two days where we missed you so terribly in our bed. You always loved to smear your face on my glasses, would walk back and forth to find the right spot right next to or even on me. You loved to jump on my lap when I sat down to read my emails and blocked the view to the screen. I miss that so much! There is no Snapper Kiddy there anymore when we sit down to eat, trying to get something from mommie’s plate – you always had to see what mommy is eating…..

I remember when I first came here, you were the first to warm up to me although Daddy thought you would never get close to a woman again after your bad experiences. But since then you had always been the most jealous little boy when one of our other babies came close to me.

This event came so quickly, so unexpected, we certainly were absolutely not ready to let you go.  You can be sure that you will always have the place in our hearts that you had all the time and that we will never forget you. Be happy now, without pain, maybe even with a tail that’s straightened out again. Play with Moritz and Buttons and have a lot of fun together with them. Don’t forget your mommy and Daddy, they still love you so much!

And then there are 6…

A few days ago, we discovered that Snaps (Our Eldest Cat) had signs of advanced kidney failure, and yesterday we had to have him put to sleep.  We didn’t want him to suffer any longer.  He had always been such a strong vibrant and active cat, even as recently as 2 weeks ago, but his kidneys just couldn’t get rid of all of the toxins that his body was producing.  It is always tough to make a decision such as ths, especially when this little guy had been a part of my life for nearly 14 years.  Little buddy, you may be gone in the physical sense, but please know that you are not forgotten.  While my heart is very heavy and it is just about all that I can do right now to choke back the tears as I write this blog, it brings me great joy to know that you are once again united with your elder sister Button’s whom you looked like and had been named after.

Snaps

We miss you terribly!
