I'm sorry to hear about Bertha. I know we all want to try everything we can before we make that decision. If this can help, my cat George, that you see sitting on the ladder, also had a large lump on his throat, that the Vet said was lymphoma. He offered chemo and no guarantee. I decided to...

Antonio it's rare that I thank someone for making me cry. But I do thank you. When I read Leo's story the dam busted and I cried like a baby. You gave him everything that you could and you wanted to give more, but couldn't. Life seems very cruel sometimes when our efforts to do good are...

I don't know if you believe in animal communicators? Personally, I think some over rate themselves. But I found a lady who told me a lot about George and how he's feeling and where he's at since he passed on. I think she truly has a gift. Meet Carrie

And let me add one thing. She was one pretty girl. Too bad her and handsome George never met, at least in this life.

You did a great thing by saving your friend - twice. When you rescued her from that basement dungeon and when you ended her pain. Don't think of your act of love as ending her life. You ended her pain. Her life at that point was not worth living. I put my friend down 1 week ago today and...

I had to do the same 4 days ago. I well up every time I hear someone having to go through this. And like you, I doubted my decision many times. And just now it dawned on me. My mother passed away many years ago when I was out of town. But at the time, if I was there and I knew she was...

Thank you, I will.

Thank you for these heart felt words. You write what you feel and you do it so well. As my body has started to dry up from all the tears of the last 3 days I can slowly picture George playing with Francesca, and Molly and Tootie and Froggy, all the friends that he lost over the years. I hope...

Now THAT'S how a great friend gets a great name. Thank you for telling us more about her. It's funny how something in your gut will tell you that's not who she is. But when their personalities start to bloom then you get a hint that leads you to the right name. And I know, for a fact, that...

Rest in Peace Gizmo. You gave 21 years of love to your best friend. And she loved you every minute for it. But you know that. You always knew that. That's why you returned so much love. As Cat Daddy Jackson Galaxy said "Cats will meet you half way". For them to love you they have to feel...

I never had kids myself. But I know what a parent goes thru when they lose a child. The sweet innocence that should never have met death. The ONLY thing that keeps me going is the belief in an afterlife. It has to be. There must be a place we go to just as there was a place we left when we...

Talk to your vet and suggest you lay off the meds so his body can cleanse itself. The liver is the body's main processor and filter, and if he's taking meds which affect the liver's ability to function(side effects) he needs a break from them. I'm sure your vet will agree.

".....death cannot take that which never dies..... your love for each other." This is what I needed, what I need to remind myself. Thank you.

I've noticed before and now that you can only make so much tears and then it seems like your body dries up. Happened to me this morning. Then this afternoon more tears. The supply replenished. You're absolutely right - it feels like a huge weight is sitting on you and you can't escape. I...

Most vets offer high calorie food that comes in a tube like tooth paste. And Hill makes a food called AD for cats that are sick but wont eat. Watch out for these because they're high sugar and high fat which wont be good for the liver or pancreas to process.
