Thanks folks. I held her as they put her under and she appeared to be at peace.

I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. I have 3 cats but they are my first pets (wasn't allowed to have even a goldfish when I was a nipper) so I've never felt the pain of loosing a fluffy one.
We took on a wobbly, blind, deaf 16-ish year old cat that was found in a gutter just over a year ago expecting her to last 6 months max as she was so frail, so I was determined not to get close to her - just give her a warm safe home for her last days. But here we are a year later - she's still wobbly, blind and deaf but she's grown fat and fluffy and unintentionally terrorises my other 2 cats by lurching blindly at them when she smells them Yes I've fallen for her, so it's not going to be easy when puddy cat heaven calls for her.
*sniff* god I'm off again....bloody hormones
Tell me a funny story about Rachel.
Awww.....wobbly cat is lucky you found each other.
Funniest thing about Rachel was her refusal to lose weight. Any attempt at calorie reduction and she just stubbornly adjusted her exercise regime accordingly, from very little to sweet FA! I loved her determined laziness sooo much.
She only ever brought in a couple of suicidal mice that ran purposefully into her path and even then she didn't manage to harm them. I ended up having to catch them and release them in a local park.

When she's comparing stories in Moggie heaven, all the other cats will be dead jealous mate.
There is no heaven (look away kids), just memories.
Boy am I struggling today!
I reckon Rachel asked friends to keep an eye on me. The new place I moved to has any number of cats visiting at any time. The missus and I have named them:
LC (little cat)
TC (tiny cat)
Bez
Priscilla
Wesley
Big Blue
L'Orange
and there's normally at least three of them around at any one time8)
