Just to let you guys know...

A couple of weeks ago I said that Tab wasn't eating. Well this got worse and worse and we took her to the vets on Tuesday and they said because they could find nothing wrong with her then she would have to have an ultra-sound scan. So yesterday we took her to have it. It turns out that she had several tumors on her liver and she would get worse and worse. So we decided that it would be best if she was pts.
I cried lots but it didn't really hit me until this morning when I woke up she wasn't downstairs meowing for breakfast or rolling on her back wanting her belly tickled. I just broke down and I can't stop crying every time I think about her.
I didn't want to make this long, as I am crying too much and can't stop. Everytime I read something on this part of the forum I always cry, and now it's my turn to tell the sad tale. We're all heartbroken over the loss of Tabitha so we are planning on getting another cat to help ease the pain soon.

Oh my word i'm so sorry
You've made sure that Tabitha had a quality of life by not letting her suffer, and for that she'll thank you when she sees you again


Run quickly over the bridge Tabitha, your new friends are waiting to take you to your new home, but keep looking down on those that loved you so much

Tabitha is now playing at the bridge, waiting for the day to come when you will see each other again.

Rest in peace Tabitha.

thanks everyone for your kind replies. Even though it was 2 days ago I've got over the loss quite well, although there are some times during the day where I sit and think about her and cry.

On a happier note we are thinking of getting a new cat soon, a little 12 month old tortie, or possibly a tabby and white one. we've been to see the tortie, but she only came into the shelter on Wednesday with her kitten, so it'll be a week before she's able to be re-homed.

Thanks again

R.I.P. sweet Tabitha and play happily at the Bridge.

It's wonderful that you'll soon have a new kitty to love. Tabitha will be happy knowing that.

I'm so sorry about Tabitha. It's always hard to hear when they are sick. Sometimes you can feel so totally helpless when they are diagnosed with something. I know how hard it is to wake up and realize that they will neve be there to greet you, but I also know in time your heart will be able to heal.

You were able to put her health and well-being first by making a very difficult decision. She is now painfree and she knows that you loved her very much.
