Dear Dr Chan,
I was reading your entry about Vixey. It reminds me so much of the best cat I've ever had, Apeng. I miss him so terribly. I really really really hope that Rainbow Bridge does exist because I feel so much pain inside from missing my cat Apeng. If you have time, you can read my blog entry about Apeng. Thank you for the inspiration. I wish you health and happiness always.
And this below...so apt, especially when I have just blogged about why we do not subscribe to euthanasia:
I had witnessed euthanasia before when I was a child. A stray kitten we adopted was so sick and when we took it to the vet, the vet said that there was nothing to be done. It was better to put the kitty to sleep. I didnt know much I was small, but I remembered that after the vet injected the poor kitty, he miaowed so loudly and he was in so much in pain. That was the first and the last euthanasia for animals for me.
