Again, I'm so sorry. -hugs-

Have you thought about having a mobile vet make a home visit? I did that with Mackerel and it was so much better than doing it at the vet. She was calm and got to spend her time at home, and in the end we put her to sleep outside where she could watch the bugs and birds and feel the sunlight on her fur.

In terms of expense it wasn't too much more than euthanasia at the vet practice, really.

Anyhow I have to figure out the best way to transport her to the vet that won't stress her more. Sadly the drive home I won't have to worry. I've been crying off and on all day today-yikes I have to prep myself for tomorrow.
I'm so sorry

Oh Gail, I'm so sorry.
I just read the sad news. I sure know how you're feeling: I knew when Maverick's time was close too, and I sadly recall counting down the days. It's something that I don't care to go through again...

Spend all those last precious moments loving Bobber as best as you can.
I'll be praying for you to have the strength to get through the heartbreak.

Gail I'm so very sorry I have had to make this hard decision myself twice this year. Its never easy. Love Bobber and spend alot of cuddle time tonight.. It does sound like its time.. My Yowdy also hated the vetsand the carrier , but he was weak in the end and the last ride wasn't as tramatic as I had expected..
For me it sure was. I will be thinking of you tomorrow

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, this is the absolute hardest part of sharing our lives with cats - having to let them go.

Oh Gail, so very sorry....I hate this price we have to pay for loving our kitties.

Prayers for a peaceful ride for Bobber. Can someone go with you and maybe just hold her in the car in a blanket? Or open toped carrier.

Again, so very sorry. thinking of you and Bobber.
