Wishing things were different just doesn't make it so.

I'm sorry, Chessie.  I'm not a pet person at all and still was very sad to hear our/ex's cat died, even though we no longer lived together. I'm still not sure whether it was because she grew on me somehow or because she symbolized in a way the end of everything as well, but I cried for her and even buried her under some rainbow bridge online...
If your cat is not in pain, let her be for as long as she has... |

Thanks Mrs. Chow. Kidney failure. No identifiable cause. Unusual for such a young cat.
As cats go, she's been a great one. Okay I was tired before, and now I'm exhausted. Off to bed for me. Night all. |

I know how you feel. When I was younger, I remember crying my eyes out when one of my dogs got runned over by a car in front of my eyes. We were taking him and another very serene dog on a walk where there was no traffic cause the area was under construction. But its just one of those things where 1 car passed by and he didn't even see the car coming cause he had his eyes glued on another dog who visited him often at our house and she was sitting outside her house and he ran towards her.
I didn't want to leave his side, but I needed to get him to a vet immediately. When I came back to get him, he had passed away.
My condolenses to you and your family ChessieMom.

Sister Chessie, my heart aches for you. I'm very sorry your beloved Pal is ill.
All my life i've had feline & canine pal's. They give unconditional Love.
Two of my buddies rest in peace below a beautiful old growth Doug Fir here, above the basspond.
God Bless You All... |

Sorry, Chessie. Took my four year old lab mix to the vet this AM for removal of some strange lump. Not a lipoma or anything else I've ever seen in all my 16 years of rescuing and training. I'm right there with you. Doesn't make it any easier but at least we get it.
