Horrid day for you Piskie - hope you feel a little better as soon as you can.

If it helps (and it won't!) I lost my cat, Sprockett, last year and had to come into work the following day. I was OK until the CEO asked me how I was doing at which stage I disolved into tears. He was mortified, hustled me into a side room and asked what the problem was. I explained about Sprockett and he SO didn't get why I could be so upset about 'just' a cat.

Trying to empathise, he ended up having to say that he had a budgie when he was young and had been a little fed up when it went the way of all small birds.


Some folk understand, some don't. I'd had Sprockett for 15 years (he was born in my wardrobe) and he was my family! I wonder what'd happen if you showed the same lack of compassion for someone who'd lost their 15 year old child...

Dear Charlie.Having been there, done that several times I know that awful feeling of dread and "Am I doing the right thing". Once it's over,with the sadness comes relief, harsh as that may sound. Charlie will be free from old age and sickness and pain that he may not have complained about.
Thinking of you.

Ah bless!
So sorry to read your news, my thoughts are with you! Big big Hugs to you, am crying with you!

We have to do what is right for our animals though ! They can not talk to us in words but if we observe their body language and get to know our animals well enough, we know when they have had enough! As a crazy cat woman with 5 cats of my own at the moment and having grown up with cats around me all of my life. I have been in your shoes several times over the years, I find however it never gets any easier!

The last cat I had to have put to sleep was my Mogsey. That was 5 years ago now, I still miss him though! He was an abandoned young cat that by chance found me and chose to live with me! At first My OH said no I could not keep him but Mogsey had other plans and ended up my constant companion for 20 years! He would follow me everywhere, even walked the kids to school with me in the mornings! He would still be sitting on the edge of the housing estate where I live, waiting for me to get home from my part time morning job! What a telling off he would give me for leaving him all morning. In the end he was old and ill so I did what I had to for him! I do know exactly how you are feeling now!

I am sure you will make the right choice for Charlie.
If you did not love him you would not have put your message on here! You are just doing what all us animal lovers do, making sure you do the right thing by your companion!

Much sympathy from the crazy cat woman!

Oh Piskie I don't really know what to say except, thinking of you. You know I've recently been through the same sort of thing with my Molly. A truly terrible time. So sorry.

It's not easy and though I'm not a cat lover I do undestand . I had 5 working collies in my time and 4 had to get the injection .It prevented further suffering and pain that I felt they had no right to suffer and I felt that they did not need to suffer anymore . It's never easy and it's not the easy way out but its the best for them and thats what counts.
(((hugs)))

In tears for you both Piskie. Not just my 'ormones making me weepy either as I remember how I was when I had to say goodbye to Stanovich when Hannah was just days old. That was 5 years ago and it still gets me right 'ere *cluches heart in pain*.

Thinking of you, kids send their love.

So very sorry Piskie. Nothing I can say and I know my tears won't help but they're flowing freely for you.

[squashysu]

oh piskie i am so sorry for your pain, i have been there and it is so difficult a choice to make. I hope you get through the day x

[Hans Mum]

so sorry piskie......nothing i can say will make you feel any better just be sure to know our thoughts are with you xx

[willowstar]

so sorry for you Piskie, I haven't had to face this with either of my two but I have imagined it and I know I would be heart broken, literally. I am sure Charlie knows, and has known all his life, that you love him very very much and you will be there to let him know that as he goes off to sleep. virtual hugs (the first I have ever sent!)
