My cat just died

As a person who has liked all of my four legged friends more than most of the humans I've known over the years, I am truly, truly sorry for your loss. I really am.

:hatsoff: for the friendship you shared with your pal.
 
Every time I see those ASPCA ads with Sarah McLachlan I get weepy.

Those should be ******....they make you feel like you just tossed out a helpless kitten, and personally are responsible for the demise of all homeless pets.
 
Wow I'm so sorry. I know how it feels and it's awful. Losing my dog in April 2013 still hurts and I think about him every day. I got a puppy about 6 weeks later and it took me a year to really love him. Now he's my everything. But it is one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with in my life. I'm so sorry.
 
Sorry dude. My labs are only 6 years old but I am dreading the day that I have to say goodbye to them. Probably will take a break from being a pet owner for a while after they go.
 
Sorry for your loss. I am sure that those 5 months were precious to the cat.
 
It was nice you were willing to take care of the cat

Unfortunately one of the worst pars of having a pet is that your likely to outlive them many times over and you always have to dread the day you know will be coming.
 
Sorry for your loss. I have 2 cats myself. Great little ******* to have around. Perhaps you can get another one, although I understand that the new cat will never be able to replace the one that ****** away.

Maybe you havbe seen his picture in posts of mine, he was an old cat, just turned 14, and I adopted him 5 months ago, from the ****** shelter.

He tried to crawl behind a shelf and got stuck when I was away this afternoon, and after I got him out he was very passive, breathing very< low and had a couple of heavy cramps.

He ****** away just half an hour ago. I am just ****** and ******.

What a bad ending for a day that started so nice.
I, too, am sorry to hear about your loss. I have been taking care of a stray for over a month now and am getting attached. The cat looks almost exactly like yours.
 
Im so sorry for your loss babe, that makes me so sad, I own a kitty as well and I can only imagine what you are going thru. You have a good soul for adopting this kitty love. It will just take time until you heal. Our pets are like our ********. I send you a big hug my friend.:hugkiss:

Thank you. He was 13 when I adopted him in February, and it was clear he would end his life with me. He hated the life in the ****** shelter with a white-hot passion, and found peace with me. He transformed into a very cuddly, relaxed soul. I believe he felt very happy he could pass on with someone who held him in his last hours and he even could purr a bit in between his final convulsions. I am happy he trusted me with his love.

Sorry to hear that, Supa. I definitely know how that feels as I've lost two dogs and a cat in the last couple of years. So I feel for your loss as they really do become ****** don't they? And I'm not ashamed to admit I cry like a baby too when I lose one.

When you're ready you'll get another one.

I also want to say kudos to all the people who have rescued an ****** from a shelter or taken one in as a stray. Big Kudos! (I fucking love that word)
 
How are you feeling Supa?

I am feeling much better. He was living in the selter for over a year, and he HATED life there, he was highly aggressive and attacked everybody from time to time. When he came to my place, I let him be and choose the time to come forward, and he felt very much at home after a short time. He got very cuddly, and after two months, he started coming into bed when I laid down and rolled himself up under my right arm, purring gently. It was a beautiful time we shared. Yet, I knew he was already old, and had a condition with his liver. It was clear he would die here with me. It hit me hard when he ****** away in my arms, but it was an honor to be able to give him what a cat deserves: To live and die in the feeling of freedom and being loved. He got that, and I got a lot of love from him.

Tomorrow, I will go to the shelter and probably come home with another cat.

Thank you for helping me through this.

You did a good thing man. You gave a tired old ******, some last happy moments, and let it pass in a happy, comfortable setting. You suffered, so it didn't have to. If more people treated ******* in such a manor, we might not even need shelters.
