Goodbye, Mitch by Ruth Wallace-Brodeur, illustrated by Kathryn Mitter. Albert Whitman and Company, 1995.
Michael has always been friends with Mitch, his cat. Mitch is growing old, however, and can't eat much or play. The vet can't do anything, Mitch is just getting ready to die. Michael spends a lot of time making sure Mitch is comfortable and warm, so much so that he is cuddling Mitch when Mitch dies. Michael holds Mitch, with his parents beside him, until he is ready to let Mitch go. The family buries Mitch, and Michael remembers him and will always love him.
