I lost my cat who I've had for over 16 years 5 days ago. He had alot of health issues, heart murmur, hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, IBD and was just recently diagnosed with a aggressive form of cancer. I took him in for his last service once I started seeing him have the symptoms of the cancer. He started to hide,just sit and stare alot and he wouldn't eat. I told myself once I seen these symptoms I couldn't let the cancer just keep ravenging him. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and the most heart wrenching. I'm having an extremely hard time coping with it,I can't think about anything else and I cry throughout the day, everyday trying to cope and I just feel awful hoping I didn't do it to soon,im devastated. The picture of him was about a month before he passed.

D Dawson . I am so, so terribly sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you are going through right now. I think that you did the right thing, and I am sure you would not have wanted Boo to suffer in any way at all. He is such a beautiful kitty. Just know, that though you will never stop loving him, missing him, and remembering him, the pain will get easier. Take your time in grieving. You have my sincerest condolences. :hugs: :alright:

Boo was beautiful, I know the pain you are feeling I lost my 23 year old man recently. My heart breaks knowing how much you are suffering. Many people found some comfort in this very touching post When the moment comes...

prayers for you and your sweet boy. I believe that when the time comes we will be reunited with our beautiful furry friends

I'm so sorry. I just lost my baby so i feel your awful awful sadness and pain. They are such a part of us and our daily lives that it really crushes the soul to lose them. I can't stop crying either.. I wish we had some power to help ourselves feel better at these times but nothing works.. only time... but time takes time... I pray for you and your kitty xoxo

I am so sorry that you lost your wonderful little friend, he had a good long life but no time is ever long enough. He is fine now, just fine, no more health issues, and when you meet again one day it will be wonderful.

Google Holy Basil and Ignatia Amara, natural ways to help cope with the loss, grief, sadness and stress.

I hope that your heart heals a bit more each day, God Bless.....:alright: :grouphug2: :rbheart:

Sixteen years is a long life for any cat. However...sixteen more years wouldn't be half enough for our little friends. You made a tough, but right decision for Boo. When there is nothing but pain and more pain in the future, there is no future! You did the most difficult thing any human can do for a pet in our care. Boo knows you had to love him to do that!

May you find peace knowing that you did a wonderful thing few people can accomplish by helping Boo to have so many good years on this old planet...God bless you.
