I'm very sorry for your loss.  It's hard when we lose out kitties, out loving companions we've had for such a long time.  It's natural to look back on it all, and think "what if".  I did it as well, I goggled all my kitties symptoms and tried to figure out what happened.  Know that if it was the...

Thank you for the kind words, Jcat and nurseangel.   I think I know in my mind that the memory foam didn't do it.  The vet even said that it was not possible.  I've been researching possible explanations for what happened, and it does seem plausible that it was heart failure.  I am wondering if...

Thank you for the replies. Di and Bob, it really is comforting to know that you have used memory foam with a heating pad as well.  Nothing but the best for our furbabies, eh?  Did you buy it and use it right away too, with mo issues?  I hope she felt my presence at the end, she kinda perked up...

Thank you for your reply.  It's comforting to know that you used it with no issues.  I'm so worried that I should have let it air out before directly using it.  I hope it was her heart (and by that, I mean nothing I did caused it--I wish she was still with me of course).  The vet did say she...

My beloved Princess was euthanised last Monday morning.  It was last Sunday that she spent the day with me, getting a lot of attention.  It had seemed she was doing okay, and then at 4am, she went into respiratory distress.  She had never had breathing problems before.  The vet suspected she had...

I just talked to the vet again, she said that Princess was very unresponsive in the ICU but she got more responsive when she was with me, when they were getting ready to euthanise her.  I find that sweet, I hope I was of comfort to her.  She also confirmed that I made the right decision, which I...

Thank you all for your kind words and regards.  Princess was a beautiful kitty, and I need to remember, she had 21 wonderful years with me.  I worry that she wasn't ready to go, but I think that she was saying goodbye the previous day, and when the time came that she couldn't breath, she was...

Thanks for your kind words, catspaw66.  It did seem like the right time, I didn't want her to suffer.  Does the second-guessing ever go away?

Hi everyone,  Today I euthanised my beloved kitty, Princess.  I had her for 21 years, ever since I was a kid.  Early this morning, she was having trouble breathing (her mouth was open and her tongue was out, she was panting like she couldn't get enough air).  I rushed her to the emergency vet...
