So sorry for your loss. It is very hard to put down a pet. They are part of your family. I have gone through this as well. It is very tough. It sounds like Seven had a wonderful life though. Always remember that. Hopefully Cooper will get past his mourning soon and let you spoil him as you did Seven. God Bless.

So very sorry for your loss. I love the picture. She looks just like my Sassey Kitty. Pets are such wonderful gifts, they love us unconditionally and fill a void in our lives. You have some wonderful memories of your life with Seven and all the wonderful years you shared. Our other pets grieve and need out support to adjust to the loss. Thank you for sharing, I know how hard this is for you and your family. Find peace and comfort in knowing that Seven is no longer hurting and you comforted her to the end. I could never bury my Alex's ashes, I still have them on our mantel with a picture and a little tribute to him. He will be gone a year this July 13th but i still miss him like it was yesterday.

Here is a prayer for your Seven that I found when my Alex died.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

So sorry for you loss...they give us so much and ask so little. Seven looks like a Maine Coon and the seven toes indicate that she is a descendant of the Hemmingway line...good feet for walking on top of the snow! You gave her a wonderful life...she was a lucky cat...

I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain you feel and hope that all of you will heal in time.
