In reply to the discussion: My cat Tink and I are spending our last weekend together. [View all]CousinIT
(9,225 posts)119. I'm so sorry. I know this is very hard.
I had to do this with one of my little babies. SO HARD knowing ahead of time it's your last days and minutes with them. You're doing the right thing and you're doing it out of love - she'll go with that and no baby kitteh could ask for more. Unfortunately they can't live as long as we do!
Spoil her rotten until Monday and I know you'll be there looking into her eyes as she dozes off peacefully. The last thing she'll see is the face of Love.

Exactly. It feels like shoving a white hot knife into my heart, but I know it's best for her.
