Julie Jay: Saying goodbye to pets is a part of growing up — and being an adult too

This week we said goodbye to our cat, and whilst it is never easy, letting go of pets is an important part of growing up

Notwithstanding her decreasing ability to play with the boys, our cat Mollie still brought them so much joy. Picture: iStock 

THIS week, our cat Mollie passed away. Or should I say, the vet put her to sleep?

It has only been two days, and I have told the children the cat is still at the vet, because I’m putting off telling them for as long as humanly possible.
