Dear diaz41, I am so very sorry for your loss, I completely understand how you feel.  I had to put my cat Rita down on the 26th right after christmas.  She was going to be 16 years old on Valentines Day.  She was suffering and the kindest thing you can do for your feline friend is to put them down. I feel like you and I am sorry, look at some pictures when they were happy and healthy and remember the good times, this can help. I am sure your sweet boy loves you for taking care of him. My deepest condolences.

I am so very sorry.   It may not seem like it now, but in time the pain will ease, and the happy memories of your sweet friend will live on.  Many of us have had to make the decision you just made for your beloved friend.  Please know you are not alone.

Maybe he did come visit you. My Skittles came to me in a dream a few days after she passed.  It was hard for me but in the dream, she was jumping up on the bed like a little kitten.  She wasn't old and hurting and I have to say, the dream really helped me let her go--she was telling me she wasn't in pain and suffering any more.

I think especially in the beginning they DO try to comfort us, they never want us to be in such pain at their passing. I know I found my Chrissy's distinctive ringed hairs on my vanity for months after her passing. Talk to your boy, I'm sure he will hear you and be comforted. Let us share your sorrow, it does help to talk about your feelings with others who know what you are going through. Please accept my condolences. bless you both for loving each other so much. RIP sweet boy!

theres my baby this was years ago .I will post a more recent pic of him.

this was taken jus the other day,he loved sittin like this  we always laughed when he did.he was covering his boo boo up with his paw.yes hes on his fav place my bed.gosh I miss him so much.theres a hole in my heart now..it longs to pet him and hear him purring and feel his head lay down on my arm and hear him snoreing hehe..he would sleep right beside me like a human all stretched out with his head resting on my arm by my shoulder.he really loved sleeping on my head I have a lot of hair and he loved my hair lol

I'm so sorry for your loss.  He looks so sweet.  I especially like the picture of you and him together.  

My condolences. It's so tough to lose a cherished pet, especially when they've been with you such a long time.

I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. Love the picture of your two together.

I have been up sense crack of dawn and yes cryin cryin.oh god this hurts so bad. all I keep seeing is him snuggled up to me in that vet room,under my arm jus like he did when I first got him.he wanted my protection and I feel so bad..i jus wish I could go be with him this is almost to much

I am so sorry with how you're feeling.  The first days are torture, but believe me, if he was suffering he's in a better place now.  He will come to you in dreams when you least expect it and it will help you move on.  You can't just get over him like that, and you shouldn't forget him.  These beautiful pets are our friends, they never abuse or talk back but comfort us in our time of need, but they can't talk and it takes a lot of strength on our part to make the right decision for them when they are ill, and I'm sure they would thank us if they could. 


This is my Rita that had to be put down on the 26th December. She would've been 16 on Valentine's Day.  Poor little thing was in so much pain.  This was only last year, and look how healthy she looked.

I am so sorry. Losing your soul kitty is so heartbreaking.

I'm so sorry about Rita.  She's beautiful.  And you're right, it's our job to do the right thing for them.  

Ty so much all I woke up with tears rolling down my face now I'm at it again crying lord the pain .now I have to go to work with swollen eyes hugs everyone

I am so sorry for your loss.  It is such a hard, hard thing to do. It's our responsibility to do the very best that we can for them, whatever that may be, and that's exactly what you did. I know you feel broken into pieces right now, but eventually the happy memories, the memories of the love, will become stronger than the pain of the loss.
