Another pet gone! :-(

[Growler]

:cry: just had my 18 year old grey Smokey cat put to sleep :cry:

Just looking for a bit of sympathy as very sad

Had her from birth so at least we know she had a good life

Growler, that is really sad and I can only offer my condolences.

Pets are part of the family and losing one hurts.

sorry to hear dude. my heart goes out to you, we lost our cat this year, it sucks!

18 years is an awful good stint though! and remember, cat heaven has all the scratching posts and fish dinners any moggy can handle :

Bad news, but, as said above, cat heaven aint too bad a place for a moggy :)

 

[Growler]

Cheers folks

Feeling a bit guilty as made the wife take her

I know exactly how you feel, I had to take our sixteen year old puss on her final trip to the vet two years ago, and her eighteen + sister died earlier this year. As you said, you can get a lot of comfort in remembering what a good life she had. I was really upset and started helping out at a cat rescue centre, and in the end couldn't resist taking home a lovely black and white cat that had been there six months, and who has made herself very much at home. Condolences and remember that you always did the best for her.

Thats a shame mate, sorry to hear it...Its always tough to lose a pet, its hard when you get so attached just like losing family.

 

[graysalchemy]

Sorry to hear of your loss, pets are like one of your kids and it is so hard when they go. My sympathies to you.

Sorry to hear this.

A few years ago my dog was put to sleep. Its hard as cats and dogs do become part of the family and it's like losing a family member

Don't feel guilty, you did the kindest thing. My condolences.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

Don't feel bad about the wife having to make the trip to the vet, if it was needed because you couldn't manage, for whatever reason, it was no doubt in the moggie's best interests to go sooner rather than later. :thumb:

At least with our pets we are able to humanely put an end to their suffering - wish we could offer people the same relief.

 

[Growler]

thanks for all the kind thoughts was feeling cr*p last night about it feeling better now :thumb:

Have a brew on at the moment so may name it "Smokey Ale" :idea:

So sorry to hear about your cat Growler.
It's heart breaking and i know exactly how you feel, it'll get better with time though.

 

[jonewer]

Sympathies indeed.

Just remember it had a better life than any of us!
