Your euolgy for Mitzi is one of kindness and love for a 4-footed friend, Ad Astra. Although I am a dog person, our pets are family and they are greatly missed. That last journey to the vet is always the longest and most painful but Mitzi is at peace. Heart felt condolences to you and family.

Gosh that hurts. I just lost a very old member of the family we called Seer to "kitty kemia" after 18 years of sharing love. I still have the empty spot. Strongly suggest adopting another from a shelter; I did and it helps.

I offer my condolences and know your sadness and grief.
Our 17 year old 'boy' Ollie Puss goes to the vet on Thursday for dental work under general anaesthetic. He is strong, but we still worry. He had 5 teeth removed last May and another one is troubling him. I'll give him a special fuss when we go to bed. He is a six toed cat from Cornwall, England.

Being sentimental is part of the human condition. There is nothing inherently wrong with it.
Somehow our pets bring out the best in us. They give unconditional affection.. They ask nothing in return, other than just being there.
We humans can love each other, but there are expectations, often unwitting. We need to be loved.
Pets fulfil that need, without compromise.
Some of us - the more difficult specimens, may not get it any other way.

Good cats are truly great companions. They love you, yet are more than willing to tell you when you're being a dolt. Please accept my condolences.

Other creatures can teach us a lot.
Best wishes for you and your wife, and for Mitzi in her journey.

She couldn't have gone a better way, Mike. Thankfully, you knew to have her ride with you up front.
We've been expecting my cat Pook to walk west for about 2 years now. He is a runt, with colorings like a white tiger. I wish I had a picture. The neighbors found him in the woods 15 years ago, only a week old, dying of pneumonia, with his eyes stuck shut. He was about the size of a large mouse.
My mom nursed him with an eye dropper, and sure enough he went on to hunt, protect, and terrorize the acres around my parent's house. He was a fighter w/o fear. He didn't know he was small. He's an old man now, and been that way for a few moons. But he's still here.
My favorite story has him sitting in the backyard, totally mellow, catching some sun, minding his own business. The neighbors mean doberman comes charging at him and he doesn't move an inch. Just stares the dog down until she turns and walks back home, spirit weakened. We're talking a full sized doberman to about a 7lb cat.
If Pook were a knife, he'd be a khukuri. Lots of soul.
