I honestly can't stand this anymore. My cat looks so pitiful and I can't stand seeing her like this. It isn't even my Miss Kitty in there anymore. She acts like she doesn't even know who she is. I need to let her go as soon as possible.
She is my baby so she is most definitely part of the family. It hurts just as bad to lose an animal as it does to lose a human family member. I won't feel bad greiving over her more than a human. I know I probably will. Not that anyone has said this but I've heard of it happening, but somebody would get an ear full saying something like 'I'm being too sensitive' and to be 'grateful it wasn't a family member.' Why should I be grateful my cat died? Some people need to actually use their brain before saying something like that.
It sounds bad but I wish she would die in her sleep because I dread having her put down. I really want my vet to come here and do it, if she can. I want her to be under as little stress as possible.
I'm so sorry Heff!! I know exactly how you feel though. When it was getting close to putting Eli down, I prayed so hard that he would just go in his sleep..........even though he had arthritis, so it wasn't like it was a life-threatening disease, but I still prayed for him to die in his sleep. It never happened, and Brad and I made that dreaded trip to the vet's office. It was the hardest thing I know I've ever had to do, but I did it. I still miss him, but I'm glad that we did what we did. He just wasn't comfortable at all anymore, and his quality of life was dwindling. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, Heff. I don't think I can really say anything that will make you feel better or make it any easier on you except that you'll know when the time comes to set her free. I think you know it already..................{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}
Hello Heff...Im so sorry things are like this for kitty...Do what you know you must do and dont make her wait..it isnt fair to her...I feel for you and it will be the hardest thing but you can tell in the cat that it is her time cant you? You seem to any way...I will be sending good thoughts your way...again..Im sorry...
Sorry you are going through this heff.Im sure you are feeling alot like I was feeling watching my mom suffer and die with lung cancer.It is so hard seeing someone we love suffering and dying. I'LL keep you and miss Kitty in my thoughts.My cat looks like miss kitty.Im trying to post pics but no luck.
Heff, sorry to hear about what your going through with miss kitty. times like this are always hard, i know. we just had to have my aunts dog pts a little over a week ago. people that say things like "be grateful it wasn't a family member" irritate me, i honestly just want to smack them sometimes. i guess they just don't know the love of a pet the way that we do. because i know for a fact that i have and will continue to grieve family pets as though they are familiy members because they are. anyways im just blabbering now. there's really not much i can say, you know it's coming, and you'll make the choice at the right time for both you and her. you'll be in my thoughts, sorry about miss kitty :( *hugs*
I understand where you are coming from. I have had to PTS 4 cats (2 due to feline lukemia (sp) and 2 to liver failure.) Indeed, I did lose members of my family. I consider all my pets to be like my children. I could not bring myself to be there with them (I had a hard enough time taking them to the Vet as it was). Speaking from personal knowledge, it does not help if they die in their sleep. We have lost 1 cat to heart failure, Cosmo past away at home, while we were at work. It hurts no matter how or when or where it happens. You and Miss Kitty are in my throughts and prayers. Know this, the pain does deminish with time. Just remember all the fun times you have had.
