I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you've given little Georgie the best care and love, but sometimes our babies are just too sick. I really don't think taking him to the vet earlier would have made much of a difference :( I hope you'll find some comfort in thinking he is at peace now and...
I'm so sorry for your loss and for the awful guilt you're feeling. I too carry a lot of guilt for my baby's death, so I know how you feel. I hope in time you'll come to accept it was a terrible accident and find some comfort in the thought you loved Garfield and would have never harmed him on...
Sorry I didn't get the chance to reply sooner, I had some problems with my computer.
I just wanted to say it's not crazy at all, feeling that our babies are still here or only a heartbeat away, despite what our rational mind tells us.
Even if they are no longer here in the body (and we'll...
I'm so sorry for the loss of your little bundle of joy :( Polar was clearly a very special kitty. I hope you'll find a bit of comfort in thinking that her short time with you was filled with the best care and love. In all honesty, I don't think we ever get "over" the loss, but the pain does...
Thank you, Kittybelle, if only I could believe that...
My4LLMA and Jlc20m, thank you both for your kind messages and I'm so sorry for your losses.
Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
(((Hugs)))
Thank you so much for your kind message on my thread. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how stubborn guilt feelings can be, but you obviously gave your sweet girl the best love and care and I'm sure she still feels your love. Your beautiful letters to her brought tears to my eyes. Don't let...
Thank you for your kind words, Kittybelle. I'm trying hard to concentrate on the positives and on what I did right, but some days are harder than others... Thank you, God bless!
Thank you both for your kind words. Nurseangel, You're right, I did (and do) love him very much and, at the time, I did think I was doing my best, but all I can see right now is the mistakes I made and all the signs I missed... I know that beating myself up about it is not going to bring him...

I'm so sorry, that's so sad :( Jcat is right, I hope you can find some comfort in thinking that, even if her time on Earth was short, thanks to you, she has known the warmth of a loving home. Sadly, so many fur babies never get to know that... God bless her little soul!
I'm glad he's ok now. Rufus went through a violent bout of vomiting last summer, which my vet later said may have been the first flare-up of pancreatitis. My regular vet was away at the time, so I had to take him to three different vets until one of them came up with a diagnosis and a treatment...
Thank you all so much for your kind words.
Kittylove, I guess I'll never know if the decision to feed him boiled chicken caused his anemia, but I later found out chicken does not contain all the nutrients cats need (they need Taurine), so it certainly didn't help. I also discovered, much too...
I don't know if anyone messed up so bad as I did, I guess not, but, in case someone did, tell me, do you ever manage to forgive yourself when you are responsible for your baby's death? I only meant the best for him, but somewhere along the line my brain stopped working and I ended up causing his...
