Thank u.. dmk129 I feel guilty and the guilty is killing my hearth now.. I feel guilty because his last day wast not peaceful... He wanted go back to home and refused to go.. His stressing killed him almost in Taxi and Enthusiasm was so quick progress.. The Enthusiasm was not planned at that day and I feel everything was so quick... Whe had only two hours of saying good buy to our cat in home.. The whole progress is bothering me right now even though this was best for my cat.. I hope you guys understand..Its incredible how home can feel very empty even though 4 people live there and we have still one cat..
Oh no! I'm sorry, I didn't realize that.
You healed my wounds dear Donutte.. I feel now better
I feel so bad for you. I know hard it is. I have 4 kitties I love as much as anything, Last fall we had to euthanize a 17 year old orange tiger shorthair that was named Patootie. He was the best cat ever. He was getting thinner and thinner and he threw up 3 times before noon on the day we put him down and both my husband and I agreed he was going to just keep suffering and there was no point in making that go on and on for him. We decided that day last October he would go to heaven. It was the hardest thing we had ever done and like you-we both said what if=what if we took his life and he could have just had more of it with us. Later we came to accept it was the right thing to do because to let him suffer wasnt right. He was basically starving to death because he couldnt keep food down anymore. He was just so hungry all the time and couldnt keep any food down at all. I know you are struggling but you will someday know you did the right thing. His tumor was causing him suffering and you released him from that. I am sure you will miss him for a very long time=but yet will have so many fond memories of BishBish. What a beautiful cat he was. I am so sorry for your loss. You didnt have time to think about it but you did do the right thing. He is in heaven and is a healthy boy again. I really feel your pain. It is the hardest decision we ever have to make in life to euthanize a pet. They are more than just pets arent they? They are love.
Thank u dear dmk 129 for beautiful and helpful words and experience. Rest in piece beatiful Patootie. I just realized today that BishBish Taxi stress was nothing compared to his home suffering... Even thought he loved home he did suffer more than ever.. In home it was hidden but on the way to the vet it was visible..BishBish was also starving like Patootie... even though he wanted to eat.. He lose weight very fast... In the end he could just eat one small piece of chicken or salmon and Dry food and that was it...He was Incredibly tired.. Its make my heart broke when I see cat suffer..
That is so true-to lose a cat does break your heart into a million pieces for sure. I love tuxedo cats like BishBish. He was a particularly beautiful one. His markings were so lovely. You will have to lavish a lot of love on your kitty that you have left now because that cat will also be affected by BishBishs death. You did 100% the right thing to end his suffering. It is the best Christmas present you could have given him to be free of suffering and pain and to be in heaven. I have one older kitty =Boris is 14 now and seems to be failing slowly. Getting thinner and has a lump on his back and seems like he doesnt want anyone to pick him up under his belly anymore. He is going blind as his eyes are getting cloudy. He still remains a happy kitty and is so loving. I suspect we are going to lose him sometime in the next year. He may have cancer but whatever he has it is bad and it doesnt pay to put him through a lot of testing when I feel it is something he will never be able to recover from anyway due to his age. I just want him to be able to live out the rest of his life in a home where he is loved and I hope he goes peacefully in his sleep some night. I am sorry that your BishBish had to suffer with that nasty tumor. How old was he? He doesnt look like an old cat.
If she is making a very plaintive wailing type of meowing-she is looking for BishBish. She will definitely be grieving his death. 9 years is a long time for them to be together and then for him to be gone. You may want to show her the kittys body at some point so she can accept that BishBish is dead. I know that sounds kind of morbid but it lets them know that the kitty has died. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know very well how it feels to have others in the house but for the house to seem so lonely now that BishBish is gone. Give your remaining orange girl a lot of love and attention. She will feel sad over missing BishBish.
Thank u Di and Bob for helpful words!
My Orange female cat is now breaking my heart.. He just roam in house and meowing... Does this mean he is missing him? Its very unusual pattern. He lived with him like 9 years...
Thank u..
how pretty! My Patootie was orange tiger and white too. It will take a while for the remaining kitty to adjust. They do notice when another kitty isnt there anymore. Even if they were not very close=they were in the same house and now there is only one. Kitty might be doing things he doesnt normally do just to get attention. It is so hard to lose a kitty. It always takes me a long time to adjust. You take care and do some special things for yourself. You have been though a lot of stress for sure. You will be in my thoughts. :-)
Thank u..
He just walking and then lifting the head up and meowing.. He jumped Today and yesterday in TV table top and lifting the head up and started to meowing again..... Its very unusual... He never even hops in Tv table top.... Maybe he saw his soul?? Or maybe he just grieving... They were not super close like some other cats... Sometimes they both grooming each other then start fighting.. Usually the female ones get angry after male grooms her and then he start fight.. One week ago he was very angry at him and I really dont know why... The female tried start to fight with him.. I feel like he was jealous because we gave BishBish Super extra care..
Old pic of him
Thank u dmk129. Its weird and unreal feeling because they have lived long life with us and shared great memories. Death is part of the life and we need to understand it... What makes me happy is that my cat lived long and good life but its never enough... We miss them and want them back.. If there is afterlife I hope we can see them again.
