my cat passed away Tuesday (puppy, lost, how, man)

[christina0001]

My cat passed away on Tuesday. Monday evening when we got home, she was so sick she could barely walk. I did not expect her to live through the night. Tuesday morning in the wee hours, she managed to climb up on the bed and cuddle with me, which I am so grateful for. When I got up for work, she ate a little bit. My heart wanted me to stay at home with her, but I couldn't. I've missed so much work for my own medical reasons. So I went to work. We believe she passed away shortly after I left because when DH got home from work, he said she was long gone.

I am grateful she was only that sick and disabled for less than 24 hours, and I'm grateful I got to spend one more night cuddling with her, as I have almost every night for the past 18+ years. But I feel awful that I was not with her when she passed away.

The house feels so empty now.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

I, too, lost a fur friend about two weeks ago and know how terribly hard it is.

All my best to you and just remember, your cat is no longer in pain and did manage to say goodbye to you.

So sorry for your loss. I to lost a loving pet on Tuesday. I was able to stay with him the whole day. it was painful. We had to put him down. Although I don't think he would have made it through Tuesday night. I am grateful he is no longer in pain and is happy running around with his parents and puppy brothers and sister in doggy heaven. It will hurt for some time. Little things that remind of him make me tear up- but I am trying to smile when I think of them instead of crying. I told my DH last night that I might feel better once I get his ashes back on Monday. Having him home- where he belongs means so much to me.

Take care- our thoughts our with you and your family.

It's so hard and we all feel your grief, LQQKOUT - may you have peace in the days ahead and remember the great times you had for a very long time.

rjay and christina0001, I hope this morning finds you in somewhat better spirits. You know you did your best. Sometimes that doesn't take the sting away, but it is something to think about. Our pets gave us their best, too.

So sorry for you both. I believe they are now running the great fields of the sky, happy and healthy, with lots of new friends. Many of my furbabies were there to greet them and the cats showed the way to the great catnip fields. <<hugs>>
