Just lost my cat.

[shrike3]

Brought her in with the notion I'd be bringing her home with a treatment plan. Instead, I brought her home to bury her. Vet was honest, which I appreciated. There was a mass in her abdomen, and she probably wouldn't survive surgery if they'd attempted it. She was 14. I will miss her.

[we can do it]

1. So sorry😿

[shrike3]

2. Thank you.

[Ocelot II]

3. I'm very sorry!

Losing a loved kitty is so hard!

[shrike3]

13. Thank you so much.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. She will remember you and your love. I'm so sorry.

[shrike3]

14. I appreciate that. Thanks.

[Deuxcents]

5. Very sad to hear this..most of us can understand what it's like to lose a loved pet.

I’m sending hugs for what little comfort I can be. So sorry ((hugs))

[shrike3]

15. Appreciate your kind words.

[brer cat]

6. I'm very sorry for your loss. Our fur babies do take over our hearts.

[shrike3]

16. Yes, they do. Thanks for your kind words.

[Irish_Dem]

7. So sorry to hear this.

You had her for a long time.
There will be a grieving process.

I am glad the vet didn't put her through a needless surgery
and she didn't suffer.

[shrike3]

18. It was a shock to hear the words, but once I got my wits about me I appreciated her giving it to me straight.

This was a vet I'd never met before. Kitty was so listless I decided to take her in before the appt. she had next week. Vet was so kind and asked if I wanted to leave the room. I said I couldn't imagine leaving an animal alone at a time like this. They need your warmth and your presence So as hard as it was, I stayed.

23. A sudden death is easier on the deceased, but much harder for the family.

Oh yes, I had a dear little doggie who had inoperable cancer, she has to be put down.
I stayed with her for the procedure. As long as I was with her she was calm.
She needed me with her or would have been agitated and fearful.

When it was over I cried like a baby. It was so sad and such a shock.

[Bayard]

44. She knew you were there, and was comforted

I'm so sorry.....

[Rizen]

It is never easy, especially if you were caught unaware.

It sounds as though she passed gently. And she was clearly very, very loved. Bless you and RIP.

[littlemissmartypants]

[blm]

38. Sorry for your loss.

It’s never easy.

[patphil]

39. My cat had the same diagnosis.

We went the prednisone route, and got him about 3-4 more months of reasonably good life, but it was always a losing battle. In the end we had him put to sleep about a week ago.
No judgement here; each situation is unique.
It really does hurt to have a pet you have known and loved leave you.
I always have said that pets are like children that never grow up. There with you for life, and that usually means a lot shorter time than we would like to have with them.

[shrike3]

58. Her vitals were not good.

Temperature was dropping, gums pale. Vet didn't think she'd make it 24 hours. But I'm glad that extra time with your furry guy.

[Solly Mack]

40. I'm so sorry. How heartbreaking!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

41. I am very sorry for your loss

It is hard to say goodbye to a family member. We had to say goodbye to my oldest child's cat a couple of weeks ago.

[sinkingfeeling]

42. I'm very sorry for your loss.

[JMCKUSICK]

45. I'm so sorry

Please give yourself permission to grieve and to celebrate all the wonderful moments that made you special to her and her to you.
Please honor her and yourself in a way that only you and your family? can.
She'll be with you in many ways tomorrow and beyond.

Every time I see a white dragon fly, I greet her as the spirit of my Snuggles who I lost May 5th and enjoy her spirits visit with gratitude.

God Speed

[Skittles]

46. it's so hard

I know

Grieve not
nor speak of me with tears
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you
I loved you so
’twas Heaven here with you

[GPV]

48. I'm so very sorry. Had the exact same thing happen with my Pretzel. *hugs*

[Niagara]

49. My condolences on your devastating loss, shrike3

[Fla Dem]

50. Brings tears to my eyes. Same thing with my Baby Girl last October.

You go to the vet hoping she'll be coming home with you, but it doesn't happen. Gradually coming to grips that she's not there to welcome me home or snuggle next to me on the sofa. She was my "bestie" for 19 years. Left a hole in my heart. You will feel the same. My heart goes out to you.

[Timeflyer]

51. That's awful--please take care. It hurts so much to lose a beloved animal.

[58Sunliner]

52. I'm sorry. It's never easy losing our fur babies.

[Maraya1969]

53. I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a fur baby is hard.

[AltairIV]

54. My deepest sympathies

My deepest condolences on your loss. May the passage of time, and holding onto the memories of your time shared bring you some measure of peace.

[Dear_Prudence]

55. So sorry

You made the painful compassionate decision for her. You were there for her at the end. I hope the warm memories of the happy times you had together will soon bring you some comfort.

[catrose]

56. I am so sorry. Such a hard time

[shrike3]

57. Thank you to everyone who responded. It meant more than you'll ever know.

[debm55]

59. So sorry, shrike3

[3catwoman3]

60. Even when it's right, it's so hard.

In our family, we call it liberating the spirit.

Hugs from a fellow cat lover -

[Different Drummer]

61. Very sorry to hear this, shrike3!

I lost a cat almost two years ago to feline leukemia. She ate ravenously--she was diabetic--but didn't seem to be gaining any weight. The vet who examined her determined she had leukemia and that it was incurable. She was 18. Condolences on your loss!

[drmeow]

62. I'm so sorry

That really sucks. It is bad enough when you are pretty sure that's going to be the outcome but it is 10 times worse when you aren't expecting it. I had a similar experience - although it sounds like you had a better vet!

[jtb653]

63. very sorry

couldn't imagine losing one of my babies.

[TNNurse]

64. Grateful for vets who are direct and take care of a tough situation.

Ours put our cat on steroids and gave us a few days to adjust (we had a family tragedy about which they did not know). That cat took her steroids in vanilla ice cream and ate nothing else for a few days until we managed to take her back. She was clever like that...cat food?? There is ice cream.

It is always hard, sometimes though it is just awful. I understand.

[kimbutgar]

65. So sorry, losing your kitty unexpectedly is dofficult

I lost my own cat the same way in 2022 and haven’t gotten another one because my kitty was the best cat I ever had!

[Katcat]

66. I'm so sorry

Been down that road too many times myself and it never gets easier. But I know , and you know, that sometimes the best thing is also the hardest.

[pazzyanne]

67. My sincerest condolences on the loss of your fur baby.

They bring so much joy to our lives, it is hard to say the final "Goodbye". Take care of yourself!

[COL Mustard]

68. So sorry. It always sucks. I've had to do it several times with cats and dogs and it's never easy.

Just remember the good times you had with her and keep her memory alive.
