Today is a really sad day
kewian:
I am so sorry about your kitty. There is nothing harder or more loving to do than to ease someone's suffering. Im not sure what to say but my thoughts are with you. just take it day by day.

Missdoh: I don't pray, but I will be thinking about you and your Doudoune. The death of a loved one is always hard, regardless of whether they have four legs or two. My mum and I become sobbing messes whenever one of our rats die. They don't have a very long lifespan, but oh how they steal your heart away if you give them a chance. Be sure to give your other kitties extra hugs, not only because it'll make you feel better, but because they'll be upset too. After a pet dies, I like to let the remaining animals smell anything that the other has touched after death, especially when the said pet had to be euthanized outside of the home. That way they'll know what happened rather than wondering where they are.
Bangelnuts: That had to be an extremely traumatic experience for both you and your dear cat. How anyone can do that to an animal, I don't know. What's more frustrating is that the assailants rarely get punished for their actions. In murder cases, what the families want most is for the person or persons responsible to be punished for their actions. Unfortunately, the justice system doesn't hold the murder of pets very highly. It's very rare for people who cruelly torture an animal to death to even receive a year in prison. Usually it's just a fine... At least that's the case in the U.S... I don't know where you're from. It sickens me that people can so easily get away with treating a feeling, thinking creature in such a barbaric manner, and that the equivalent of a pet's life in the eyes of justice is a year of prison, or a fine. *huff* I need to stop before I get ahead of myself... I'm very passionate about animal rights, so don't get me started.
Emma:
So sorry about your cat :( I had to do the same thing with my dog about 5 years ago, so I know how you feel.
MsMaria:
I am so sorry MisDoh for your pain. My thoughts are with you tonight. My sweet Lizzie (a Maltese) had to be put to sleep in January and I miss her every single day. I'm glad you have other pets to comfort you at this time. Hang in there.
Velax:
I feel your pain, Missdoh. I have a 19-year-old cat. We got her when I was six, so she's grown up with me, and when you've had a cat that long, she's not a pet or even a friend anymore, she's a member of the family. Even my dad, who doesn't like cats at all, loves her. She's still relatively healthy, but given her age we know we'll probably lose her soon, so I can sympathise with what you're going through.
Just remember all the good and funny times you had together (I still have my first-year university books with the front pages all clawed, because Smokey somehow figured out that paper being shredded was the only noise that would wake me when she wanted to go out in the morning), and keep all your photos of her so you'll never forget (not that you could anyway, but physical memories help keep the mental ones sharp). You're in our thoughts.
