I'm sorry for the loss of your beloved pet.
Sorry to hear of your loss. Our dogs and cats are truly members of our families, and are sadly missed on their passing.
We had to have our senior cat, Sylvester, put to sleep recently, and I went with him to the vets and held him as he went to sleep. Cried like a baby. We had had him 15 years.
Here he is at 14:
Best Regards, Les

When people say "they're only pets" I can only shake my head and turn away. My wife and I miss our dog we had to put down 6 years ago more than some relatives who have passed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It hurts when you have to put down a furry buddy that has shared your life. I've had to do so several times in the last 5 years or so, dogs and cats.
It sounds like you gave that kitty a long and happy life. It's not easy when epilepsy is involved. You did a good job. Sorry to hear of Leo's passing.

My wife and I are celebrating our 52nd wedding anniversary today. Over the course of these 52 years we've had 3 cats who lived to 15,17 and a few months shy of 20. After putting the last one to sleep we decided not to get another although it would probably outlive us. There were some of the saddest days of our lives and you have our condolences!

Fully understand, we lost our 17 yr old last yr and an older dog we'd adopted. It's tough and my heart goes out to you guys.
He was a nice looking kitty, I bet he had a personality to match. Sorry for your lose.

I am so sorry for your loss. Leo was sure a cute cat! I like his yellow eyes and long fur. I agree with Les, that they are family members and it is the hardest thing to have to do. It is done out of love and compassion though. Condolences to you and your family. He will always be in your heart and memories.

Bless you for helping him. I've had to do this so many time myself. Dogs, cats, horses, favorite dairy goats. It's never easy. I miss every one of them.
I am very sorry to hear about that. I had to do the same thing about 10 years ago for a beloved dog of mine for the same reason. Huge loss, that is for sure, and one that people who do not have the ability to love an animal will never know.

You can tell that kitty has some CHARACTER!!!! The single most rewarding thing my son and I have ever done is becaome involved in feral cat rescue. We have four at home—all rescues and all absolute hoots and members of the family.
Brother SASU when your heart has healed a bit I hope you will be able to reach out to another kitty and enrich his or her life like you obviously did for Leo.

My thoughts are with you in your loss of a wonderful friend, we have all lost or had to put a friend down. Mine were cats and bird dogs, I am 78 years old and I have never forgotten our friends we have had over the last 59 years. It will get better but the lump and the tears are not far from showing. Jeff
Putting down a pet.....
Putting down a pet is an act of unselfish love. It's hard for you but best for them.

Such a sad day when a loved one is put down. I've held three for their last breaths and it destroys me every time.
Thankfully the good memories move the tragedy out of the way as time passes.
