I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy to let them go.

I'm sorry about losing your baby, but I'm glad you didn't cry alone.

It's so very hard to lose a furry member of the family, especially when we have to make the choice. We've always try to stay strong for our babies, and when we've had to say goodbye, it is always the techs that shed the very first tear - and then the waterworks begin.

This must be one of the hardest jobs in the world. Somehome, having them cry let's us know that it's okay and that it really is goodbye. Knowing that we aren't the only ones that hurt can help ease the pain.

If only our human doctors could be so compassionate.

I keep thinking "it's just a cat" but he was part of the family-he was by far the greatest cat-so relaxed and calm...here's a pic I want to share-he LOVED sleeping in the dog crate-don't ask me why....he would sleep in it all the time....

Yes I agree if only human doctors could be that way....

My tigerMan got locked in the crate all day sometimes, b/c he was snoozing in there when I went out and I didn't see him behind the large dogs. Boy, would he tell me about it when I came home! He loved "his" dogs and they were kind to him, too.

What beautiful markings and such a noble face - anything but "just a cat."
I'm glad he shared his life with someone who loved him so much.

Oh, I am so sorry for the loss of your fur boy.
I know it is so hard, we get so attached, they are so loving.
Please know that there is no way of him feeling any pain now, if that is any comfort, I know though, there is pain within you for missing him.
I am sure He is Thankful for all the Love and Care that you gave to him.
Take time for yourself during this "detour" road...

calmness within.

Ditto, my condolences.

I had my beloved golden euthanized 5 months ago (she had cancer). Life is just not as fun without her. I know my cat misses her. I still cry in grief. It's just so, so hard to lose a furry family member.
