I had to put our cat, Boots down today, 8 months after I had already previously lost my 3 year old tortoise shell, Bean to cancer.

Boots was suffering from breast cancer really badly, it started 1 week ago and rapidly worsened until today. I couldn’t let her suffer any more than she already had.

She was the quietest, friendliest and most gentle cat I ever knew.

Boots was like a mother to Bean, she would always snuggle, play and groom her as if she was one of her own babies. They had a precious bond that I never seen in any of our cats before.

It hurts losing her so soon after having previously lost my Beanie Baby, but there’s some comfort in knowing both Boots and Bean are reunited again in the end.

I miss you already Bootsie, rest well.
