I am so sorry Marsha. I hope that he is with my FeLV Smoosh (We lost her at 14 months in July) and my heart and soul kitty Buffcat (CRF) who crossed last week after being the best friend I have ever known for over 17 years.

There is a pet cremation service about an hour from me that does individual cremations, and you can arrange to attend if you want to.  I put his catnip heart in with him, and a dandelion blossom, covered him with the petals from a red rose, and then let some of my tears drop onto him.  I sat with him outside in a glider chair until they were ready for him.  The weather was nice, and I looked out into a peaceful wooded area.  Only the very slightest breeze, so the rose petals didn't blow away.  I carried him inside when they were ready, but didn't remain for the process.  I chose an urn that looks like a black cat (like Harley) crouching to pounce on a mouse.  I may put it in his favorite hunting spot, if it doesn't upset Brock (Harley's FeLV+ roommate).

Rather than take the chance of him choking on his broth over the weekend, I took him to the vet to help him cross over.  He remained in bed nearly all the time the last 3 days, but thanks to his pain meds, he did enjoy some pets, tummy rubs, and naps in his last days.
