I do not forgive my vet for pushing me to let him go rather than to fight for his life. I don't know if you read the letter that I wrote to the clinic, but I hope everyone involved feels regret everyday. Every two weeks I have to call and make a $100 payment on a kitten that I no longer have...

Your right. Temporarily it made me feel a little better which is what is was supposed to do. It was supposed to bring some relief from the guilt, but the reality is someone was irresponsible with the life of your beloved pet. I do he that. I tried to be somewhat light hearted for a change...

When Aries died I remember saying to a friend of mine I have to explain to Jynx and Ezmirelda what has happened. Even when a room mate of mine moved out, she said "I need to tell Aries and Jynx that I am leaving and why" When AJ died I had to tell Ezmirelda that AJ would not be back and please...

I understand exactly how you feel. I know this sounds silly, but you could explain to your cats that this kitten needed a home just like they did. When I brought Ezmirelda into the house I did not realize that my 10 year old male cat was already dying of kidney failure. Ezmirelda loved to...

Hello, I wrote this email to his veterinarian last night. I hope they feel my hurt... You know the friend who was with me when AJ was put to sleep was in in Friday and not a single word of concern for me or for AJ's passing. Not a "hey how is your friend doing" or Dr. B did AJs surgery he...

Oh, Kittens mom, what would I do without all of you right now. I am not good with death. I have experienced very little of it in my lifetime and my coping skills are not so good. I took a cat to a quack vet as well, as a matter of fact, it will be a year ago next month that my 10 year old...

It wasn't like that with AJ it was my fault. He ate the string in January and what ever happened 4 months later I am sure had everything to do with that string. That is why I am having such a hard time. I was careless, and because I was careless he got sick and had to die. It was all my fault.

I guess there is nothing left to say. I am just going to have to face that my misery that I feel right now was my own doing. Ultimately, I made the choice to end his life. I am responsible for the regret I feel today. I just wish someone along the line realized that I hadn't slept, was upset...

Did I mention I didn't have any sleep Sunday night. Was at the Er vet twice at his vet and 7:15 so I had to make a decision like that with no sleep.

But I miss him so much. He was such a good cat. He started life out as abandoned and sick...his life 8 short months later. It's just not fair. He had a good life while here. He had Ezmirelda to play with and keep groomed, he had a huge fish aquarium to play in and around and he never felt...

AJ didn't stop eating, he tried to live with the pain. You know how cats are... they are experts at pretending they are not sick and that's why it's almost too late once you realize something is wrong. I just felt that without support from his vet.... Nothing makes sense.

Ok so my vet was willing or couldn't perform surgery that day. Surgery at her office $1,000 and totally reachable, but surgery at one of those emergency clinics $5,000, harder but doable, but and I hate those places. They sent him home twice on Sunday "stable" because they had a more important...

Today is a very hard day... I wish I had looked in eyes exactly what you said. I would have gotten the money had I been encouraged by the vet, but without her in my corner I felt like there was no way I could beat whatever it was that was causing his abdomen to swell. In hindsight, I think...
