I know it's been a while and I really wish I was posting better news.
Percy went to the bridge tonight. We thought he had a bladder infection, but it was a major blockage - we considered the surgery, but then found out there were serious renal complications, among other persistent health issues. We knew he hadn't felt good for sometime, and decided it was best to let him go. We're all just destroyed right now - I don't know what I'm going to do not seeing his sweet orange face everyday.
We hope to post some recent pics of him enjoying his garden later this week. I can honestly say these last few months he was living with my mom and got to go outside were probably his happiest. He caught his first bird and was just so pleased with himself, even though we weren't. It was a very bright spot in his dimming life.
He just wasn't well, and I know these last few weeks he was feeling even worse. We all did all we could for him, but tonight we all knew the best thing we could do was let his soul be free.
Sweet Percy - we'll always love you, and there will always be a Percy shaped piece of my heart that will never be filled again.

Our bean also has a very leaky face. If we could leak, we would for this. We are so sad to hear of Percy's passing. If you knew he was miserable, we all support you greatly for being brave enough to do what you knew was best for him. You listened to him, and that's a wonderful thing. They let us know.
We are very very leaky, and we will light a candle in his honor tonight, and help light the way to the bridge.

Goodbye dear one... may your days over the bridge be filled with fun and joy and good friends.
We are so very sorry to hear about Percy. I found out on Karen Jo's limericks site. I know it was very hard for you to make the decision you made but it was the right one. My Mom had to make that same decision last month about our Gizmo. He was on the verge of renal failure also. He also had a growth and Mom just didn't want to put him through surgery as she didn't think he would make it through anyhow. Purrs and Prayers for you and your family as it's hard being without your beloved pet. Take care and God Bless.
