I just came across this forum. I had to put Mamushka, my beloved cat and companion of 12 years - who showed up one night in 2004 demanding to be let in. Our family vet said she was about 5 yrs old. She was incollared, unchipped, clean - no owners were ever found - so i figured she came from heaven. She was a mix between a Maine Cokn & a Siberian. She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, sometimes id catch a glimmer of angelic twinkle, as though she had a secret. In 2006 i had a severe bout of depression and was 99% ready to be done with life, but the 1% that was more important than the 99% was "who will take care of Mamushka? No one will care for her the way i do 'the way she demands to be cared for'." She saved me.
Now i have guilt over having to make "the Choice". She went quick - i wasnt prepared for that. I thought it would be minutes, but it wasnt.
I don't think the pain will ever go away. We were supposed to go together paw in hand to heaven.
In a post, i came across "The Rainbow Bridge", and it fits. Shes waiting for me, while i 'go the long way around' and we meet up to cross the bridge.
