I had to shoot a kitty

I know doing this had to hurt terribly. So sad the kitty had to be hurting so badly. Bless you for having the strength to do what you had to do.

You did the best thing for the kitty, and it takes a brave person to do that sometimes.

thankyou Natalie... be easy with yourself and know that although this was difficult it was the most unselfish act you could of ever done

RIP little one - no longer in pain

Thank you all. I decided I had to name the kitty. I don't even know if it was a he or a she. I chose to name him/her Superman because he is flying free right now...

this must have been so awful for you, I dont know if I would have been brave enough but you dont know what you are capable of until you are faced with it, and you did the right thing without a doubt.
If the poor thing was screaming so bad your sister didn't know what it was then its in a far better place for sure. I think fate landed him on your door step because you could make it better for the poor little thing.
God bless you you are so brave.

Oh my gosh. I can't even begin to imagine doing that. I was terrified of the thought of even having to make the decision to have my beloved Jasmine (or any of my babies for that matter) put to sleep, let alone actually doing it.
Jasmine actually took the decision out of my hands -- I've posted more separately about her passing.

In this case however, you should be commended for doing the right thing for that poor kitty....no matter how hard it was.

You did the thing that helped the kitty who was in pain. I am so sorry you had to do it, but the cat would have suffered a lot more if you had not done what you did. I am praying for you. Are you ok?

im sorry that you had to do that but just think that you ended the misery of that poor kitten.

You ended that poor Kitty's suffering, and though it was hard to to do, it was he kindest thing to do.

And sure up in Kitty heaven the poor thing is much happier.

I hope you feel better soon

Natalie, you did a very strong and brave thing!

The poor kitty is now free and happy and you let it be that way! I know that Superman will be forever watching over you, smiling!

Oh, Natalie, what a brave, brave soul you are! You pursued all other options and did the KINDEST act with love and compassion! I have had to be in that unfortunate situation since I was a kid and I still dread that I may have to do it again. Yes, I agree with the others that Superman is eternally grateful, and that now you have this wonderful guardian cat-angel.
As for expressing the graphic details, that can be a cleansing process - my vet is so understanding & will discuss this in detail with me, since she understands how hard it is for me to do. I hope & pray that you are finding someone else to share this with. You can PM me, if you like - I was raised around livestock, so not much will gross me out.
Thank you again for having the courage to do the right thing! Hugs, Susan
