Thank you for your reply, it is very informative and makes me feel better and a little bit of closure. I knew when i looked at her she wasn't going to make it and that for her, that would be kinder. I'm just glad it was quick because she didn't deserve to suffer poor thing 😪 it did not look nice

Thank you! 😊 I haven't spoken to the vet yet, i don't want to fall apart in his office, the poor man deals with enough! I will go see him next week. I just wondered if anyone on this site had experienced such a thing.

Hi everyone I lost my cat Maggie last Saturday morning. She greeted my husband as normal when he got up at 9.30am, followed him into the kitchen demanding her breakfast (as usual!) and then on her way back to the sitting room to her bed, she let out a strange low long meow that I have never...

Thank you everyone for your replies!! I forgot to mention that I have a rodent phobia which adds a bit to all of this for me!! Maggie is still at it, she brought a vole in last night and plonked it on the middle of the floor in front of my husband and meowed with delight at him, when the vole...

Hi! I have a 12 year old cat called Maggie. She had a brother Fred who was 8 and had to be put to sleep five weeks ago. Fred was always bringing me "presents", sometimes still alive! In all the 12 years I have had Maggie, she has never brought in a present...until two nights ago, she...

I am sorry for your loss. I know that feeling - should I have noticed something, did I do enough? Sometimes there is nothing to notice though, it is just bad luck or age. I do have to say though, I have peace in my heart about having to put Fred to sleep now, I know his future would have been...

I'm sorry for your loss, it is hard to make the decision when the time comes, especially if you are not expecting it. I am glad the video helped you.

I am so sorry for your loss, your poor little Krista. She was lucky to have you to look after her. I'm glad the video helped you too.

Thank you for your beautiful words. "Do not make his death more important than his life" - was particularly poignant to me. I now think of his antics with the joy of having had them rather than the sorrow of having lost them (still hurts of course but it helps to smile at the thought of him!).

Thank you

I'm doing okay thank you. I have had a human death since and another about to go so it's been a very emotional week! I watched a TED talk yesterday which made me bawl my eyes out but really really helped - "The emotional costs of euthanasia | Sarah Hoggan DVM | TEDxTemecula" It really...

Thank you to everyone for your love towards Fred and for helping me feel better about the decision I had to make. I still have Fred's sister here and she is marking in a circle around his grave when she goes out in the garden, I think she is trying to protect him or something like that!

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you!

You've made me laugh out loud with the quote about your Vincie having an eye for handsome men!! Thank you. He was certainly a handsome boy.
