My kitty

[BiBunny]

*Big hugs to Etoile* I'm so sorry. I'd post the Rainbow Bridge thing, but I dunno if you'd appreciate it or not, so I'll just give you hugs.

 

[Etoile]

Etoile, I am so sorry to hear about this. I know that this moment is coming soon for one of my cat too, and just thinking about having to make that decision is so hard and making me so sad.

You know that you are doing the right thing, but I can so understand that it doesn't feel that way for you. My thoughts are with you sweety.

Yeah, this is the first time I've ever had to make the decision. In the past it's been made for me by circumstances. This is the first time.

 

[EmpressFi]

Yeah, this is the first time I've ever had to make the decision. In the past it's been made for me by circumstances. This is the first time.

I'm crying too..for you.. I know your heartache as Malin and I had to put our Rocky down on our wedding anniversary 4 years ago. It was the hardest decision ever and as my Fred is 17, and getting thinner, getting worse at self grooming, cloudy-ish eyes, I can tell it's coming.. and god help me, I dont know how I'll make that decision. But right now, I'm just cherishing my babies, all of them. Just like people, we're not promised a long time with them.

*hugs to you and to your baby*

((( Etoile )))

I am so sorry...hardest decision to make but the most unselfish one a pet owner can make for their furbaby.

I have a cat as well and as I watch her get older I know it will break my heart when I have to make that fateful decision.

I am thinking about you...and praying your cat goes in peace.

I've done it. Like H she was a baby, but very sick probably as soon as she was born.

It's horrid. I held it together better for immediate family members' deaths. I have nothing useful to say but my condolences.

 

[Etoile]

thanks again all, keep it coming, it is much needed. we got a pill from the vet that we can give her before the car ride so she won't have her last few minutes be torture. they would have come to our home (vet + tech) for $200 more but my wife doesn't want it done at home anyway, it would give her bad memories and stuff. so in she goes. god, i hate this.

I once went through kidney failure. You don't really feel it until the end, and then it hurts really bad in a fashion that you can't get use to it. You made the better choice, its better to fall asleep then to have that amount of pain be her last moment. You are doing her a service of kindness.

Yup. I don't cry at funerals. I cried so hard over that. Still can't think about it without getting sad.

Etoile, I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I think Minxy echos my sentiments exactly. Everytime I've had to go through this, or support a family member that was going through it, it was known that it was always done out of love.

*Hugs*

Etoile
I am sorry to hear your having to do/ had to do this.. I know what it is like I am sorry.. If you need anything let me know.. I am here for you ..

 

[LordHawk]

I am extremely sorry to hear that. Cats bring a special joy to life that is all their own. Just want to say I'm sorry for you.

 

[Etoile]

Thank you everybody. She is gone now. It was so hard. When we were driving to the vet, I couldn't cry...I felt sad but I couldn't make myself cry. As soon as we walked inside I started to cry and I didn't stop until it was all over. It took a really long time, we are mad at the vet's office because of that...we made an appointment because we knew this would be difficult and we didn't want to wait. She was so good. She was always the sweetest kitty, never did anything wrong. She was good all the way through, and I got to hold her, and I felt her stop breathing.

I am kind of relieved, because even until the very last second, I wasn't sure we did the right thing. Of course my head knows I did the right thing, but my heart wants to grab her back. I can't now, it's too late, and even that is somewhat peaceful and reassuring. I don't have to worry anymore if I did the right thing, because it can't be changed now. But my heart is broken and I think we aren't going to get another cat so right now I am holding a fuzzy toy because I needed something close to me.

Thank you everybody.

I'm so sorry, Etoile.

I hate losing kitties.

*hugs*

I'm so sorry.

 

[pink]

[ecstaticsub]

I'm so sorry.
