Hello All,
Yesterday afternoon we took Kitty in to the vet to help her cross over the bridge. She was in so much pain, she just couldn't get comfortable anymore. I felt so torn - kept second guessing our decision, but our vet assured us that it was the right thing to do. Kitty wouldn't verbalize (as many cats don't) her discomfort - as she wanted to keep her status in our household with our other animals - which she did until the very end. We will miss her so very much - she was almost 18 years old. Thought I'd let those of you who know about all our girl know. I'm just happy she didn't have to pass over alone - that we were there with her. Also, our vet was so very kind and spent a lot of time beforehand petting Kitty and allowing her the dignity and respect that wonderful cat deserved. I had to put all her stuff out of sight - it was just too painful. Lucky and Charm were searching for Kitty all night long.
Thanks for listening.
