My precious Baddy passed away yesterday

Hello everyone:

I've had the worst night ever, my dear Baddy died of Leukemia yesterday, well, we had to put him to sleep because he was in agony. My cat Princess also had leukemia and had to be put to sleep months ago, and when Baddy tested positive I promised myself that I wouldn't let him suffer like princess suffered, she suffered for a whole week before we made the decision.

With Baddy, he started feeling sick on Monday, he never lost weight, but in the next couple of days things got to a point that he couldn't get up or eat, of course I took him to the vet, but instead of helping him so he could stop suffering the vet wanted to keep him two days so he could give him and IV and try other meds, I agreed, but something inside me was telling me it wasn't the right thing to do and I was right. I went to see him yesterday and he was in agony, I couldn't bear to see him suffer and I stared crying like crazy. His liver was enlarged, he was vomiting, he was anemic. I wish I could have been with him that night, his last night, OMG I loved him so much...

I was able to say good bye and I spent some time with him and I kissed him goodbye. I'm heartbroken. I feel guilty, I know it is not my fault, but I can't help feeling guilty because i didn't want him to suffer, and he did suffer. Thank God he is not suffering anymore. That is the only thing that comforts me.

he was my angel kitty, the most loving, sweet, cuddly, the best cat ever!

Thank you all for listening....

I'm so sorry for your loss of Baddy. RIP, sweet kitty.

You did the right thing. You gave Baddy a chance and when you realized that it was time you helped Baddy cross the Bridge. That is true love, and Baddy was so lucky to have been loved by you.

I am so sorry you've had to lose another kitty. At least he is pain free now, playing over the Rainbow Bridge... RIP Baddy.

Thank you both so much,. I guess it is normal to feel so guilty, you always feel you should have done things differently. It will take time for me to feel better, I just loved him so much.

I forgot to say that my Baddy was only 2 years old. he loved to sleep in our couch, in fact that is what had us worried about him, he slept all day, but he also liked to play and what was special about him is that when you entered a room he was in, he will instantly roll so you could rub his beautiful chubby belly. he was such a happy boy and loves to eat, specially salmon or whitefish food. he was also the noisy boy in the house, he woke me up every morning at 5am because he wanted his food. Today is the first day in two years he didn't wake me and OMG I miss that so mcuh! I loved hearing his little meows in the morning. ... Baddy i miss you!

I'm so sorry for your loss.. He will see you again at Rainbow Bridge..

Oh, I'm so sorry. How terrible for you. He was so young. It's just not right.

It is normal to feel guilty. We are their protectors, and when we can't protect them from bad things, we feel we let them down. But you did all you could. It was right to go with what your vet advised. And it was right to let him go when you knew he had to. You did right by him.

Take comfort in the knowledge that you gave him a good life and that he enjoyed your love. He will always be with you and always be grateful that you were his person.

Awww, I am so sorry, he's so young Rest in Peace Baddy

My condolences. RIP, Baddy.

I had thought of you recently and remembered your little girl Princess and the agony of knowing your Baddy was ill too.

I am so very sorry. He is a beautiful kitty. And I truly believe he is still beautiful. Sometimes I feel my bridge kitties are so near. And who is to say they are not.

I was thinking about how painful it is to loose our little friends. And I think, at least for me, that it is harder because it is our decision to let them go. But then again, what a gift to be able to set a sick little one free. Free at the Bridge, never again to feel pain.

You will see them again. I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm in tears right now, but feeling so comforted by all of you. Thank you all so much!

I agree with Jen. He had a good life. If I recall, you rescued him and his mom from the streets? He would not have stood a chance out there. I am so sorry for your loss and that your special boy was afflicted with this terrible disease and taken too soon. to you.

RIP Baddy! I was hoping it wouldn't come to this after he tested positive. Sending you a tonne of hugs.

I'm so sorry that both your Princess and Baddy got sick and died.

Yes, I did rescued baddy from the streets, but he was so tiny, like 6 or 7 weeks. he tested positive months ago, but he seemed perfectly fine and happy, he didn't have any symptoms until Monday, that is when my world turned upside down.

I'm so sorry, Tamar. At least with you he had a chance to experience a good life.
