Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beautiful cat, Archie.  It was one of the most difficult decisions that we had to make but in the end it was the best thing to do for Archie.  It was totally unexpected and very sudden which makes it very hard to deal with.  Archie was a wonderful cat, extremely independent, quite the loner but loved his cuddles all the same.  It is so hard to believe that he is no longer with us and we miss him so much, as do his other furry sibblings.
