Today is a really sad day
reggikko:
Missdoh...I am so very sorry about your cat. I Had to put one of my little rats down a couple of weeks ago and I know what an agonizing decision this is for you. Pets become part of our families and only people who have loved an animal with their whole hearts can understand this. Be comforted by the fact that your gave your little minou a wonderful life, filled with love.

I have walked in your shoes and had to put a cat I owned to sleep before and she wasnt old but she had been. beaten by some neighborhood kids who had locked her ina shed ,she finally escaped and came home a day or so later .we took her to the vet who did all he could for her and we took her home followed the instructions to the the letter but still she worrsened and startted to go into shock and was in terrible pain.So I took her back to thevet and he gave her a shot and she still refused to give up.the vet had to give her a secpnd shot and when she still continued to fight that shot the vet told me that until I told her it was ok for her to let go she would continue to fight the shots..I'm sure he was gulping back tears that dau so I did as he told me and my cat took a couple of shallow breaths and then one deep one and it was all over for her. I cried and still miss her but I know I did the right thing.my thoughts and prayers will be with you Missdoh
Oh my god, I sure hope my Doudoune won't make go through to this tonight, but I have to be there to comfort her and let her feel it is ok to go.

Well, I never had been through a situation like this, but I did lose pets in the past. I think it's hard when they pass away no matter the cause. No matter what happens tho, you have the wonderful moments to cherish.
I whish you a lot of strength going through these difficult times.
Hugs,
virgali

Missdoh, it is usually very peaceful and over within a few seconds. Your vet should give you as much time as you need before the shot is given to cuddle and say your goodbye.
One thing that I would like to mention that has been comforting to me is having a pet cremated. I used to think people were crazy for doing this, but it does help with the grieving process, much like a funeral would for a human (I would say person, but I believe our pets are persons, too). It is a final gesture of love and respect for all the love your pet has given you. I know that many people may not have the means, but if you do you, it does help ease the pain.

Missdoh, sorry about your cat. It is most unfortunate to have to put a cat to rest, even though I haven't had to, I know what you're going through. I like cats, because they are mostly nicer and less roudy than dogs. We had a cat at the old apartment. She was a fat and furry cat. Although very mean (she attacked legs a lot) and she tore up furniture, and shed a lot, I was still upset when my mom told us we were giving her away when we moved to the new apartment. We had gotten new furniture and my mom didnt want it tore up from the cat again. I'm unsure of where she is now, but my Aunt took her to some place where she'll find a good home, and won't sit in a cage for days. It's just so sad to imagine what she went through the first few days. Imagine not knowning where you are or where your owners are, where you're going. . I dunno it makes me sad and I really didn't like giving her away. But I had no say in it. ..
