Bentley was the last of the “Fab Four,” a quartet of cats I owned at one time. He was the biggest of all of them, but Bentley was the most gentle. He didn’t really like to be held, but loved to be near me. When he purred you could hear him a block away! After 16 years his health started failing, he lost weight, and yesterday he could barely walk. This morning he could barely walk and he couldn’t eat. He and I spent last night together, and he had trouble purring, although he tried. Today I took him to the vet to end his pain, and held him while we waited. His purr was back, not as strong as before, but definitely there. He put his paws on my hand as we sat. He looked rather content, and never stopped purring through the entire procedure.
I am grateful to God and Bentley for that.
He was a great cat and
I will miss him very much.
With Love,
