Boots is the cutest cat ever. He showed up at our new home about 9 years ago. We never were really sure how old Boots is. Boots would follow you around like a dog. He never had a litter box, because he would go to the door to go potty. Tonight I am to have him put down. My boyfriend is a vet and he says its time. Boots deveolped an infection that has now caused him to lose an eye. His right side by his ear seems to be collapsing. I know its the right thing to do for Boots. But he still follows me (even when he falls over) I am going to bed, so I don't have to watch this. I love him and I am grateful this will be done at home. i hope he knows how much he has been loved and how much he will be missed. Mr. Boots, thank you for coming to my home 9 years ago. I love you!
