I feel so bad for you. Tears down my face now. I do know what that feels like. I lost Annie a few months ago and I still cry for her. Sometimes it hits really hard. This is an unavoidable result of loving a being which simply does not live as long as we do. You should rejoice in the fact that you are a loving and kind person, who loves animals. It comes at a price, but all the love we get and all the lessons we learn make it worthwhile. I think it's a privilege to know a being from a different species.
I'm so sorry for you both. Brings back memories of my poor Nick One of the hardest things we'll ever have to do in life is to let go of our beloved pets. Love her all you can this weekend and know that you're making the best decision for her. *hugs*
I am so sorry for your pain and for hers. It is so difficult when we must let go of the pets who have given us so much love. It is not in our pets nature to pity themselves and they never want us to be sad because of them. Thoughts and prayers to you and your fur-baby.

Reason: spelling
Odessa3: I am so sorry to hear that. I had to have my sweet 15-year-old kitty Siggy euthanized a couple of weeks ago. He also had renal failure. It seems like all of my old cats succumb to it if something else doesn't get them first.
Be sure to post on the Rainbow Bridge subforum after Monday's horrible event is over. There are a lot of caring, empathic people there.
Odessa, my heart breaks for you.
My beautiful boy Snarf had a stroke in the early hours of January 14th....it was sudden, and a complete shock to us. We rushed to the vet in the middle of the night and had to put him down immediately--it all happened in a matter of an hour or so.
Try to embrace your time together...tell your Orea baby how much you love her...and take some pictures, my pics of my Snarf still help me daily. Mostly, log on here and talk to people--so many have been through this and want to offer support...and it does help. I have my days still where the tears flow for hours but he was my fur baby and I miss him and always will. But I was also blessed to have him in my life, even if it was for only 7 short years.
Thank you all so much for your kind words. Orea is resting comfortably under the bed today. She took a little water this morning. God love her, she immediately purrs when I pet her.
I am so sorry you have to go through this. I read your thread right after you posted and I wanted to offer you hugs and some kind words but I was in tears. I couldn't get a coherent thought for the life of me. I know what you are going through...I lost Titi in June and Gizmo in October. Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday that I lost them. I still miss them and I still cry sometimes. One thing I'm certain of, the people on the cat forum have been a huge help. I just want you to remember that we all are here whenever you need us. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.
