Damn cat

[ACORN]

An agonizing decision but today as I am typing this my wife is taking our cat Peanut to the vet to be put down. I am at work and can’t leave.
We are unsure how old she is being I took her in as a stray. She just showed in my works parking lot, looking for food, water, and shelter. We have had her about 17 years.
In Nov. she had a hard time walking but after a few days she was doing better.
Lately she’s had “accidents” and her back legs are having difficulty supporting her back end. Plus she’s been losing weight.
She followed me around and was my daily companion in the bathroom while I was showering and doing what you do in there.
We tried to give her a good life, but all good things come to an end.
We love her and will miss her.
Goodbye Peanut! I hope to see you again.
A last minute pic I snapped on her way.
Damn cat!

All pet owners face this sad time.

They don't live as long as we do.

You gave her many good years and a good life. You did well.

Your work is done with her.........that's the way it goes.

Get another cat and start a new work.........there are so many who need you.

Been there and had to do that it is hard. The last one the wife and I held her in out laps while the vet gave her the shot. You gave her a good life, go find another one to love.

You known my history of adopting pets and where my heart is.

I grieve with you.

May Peanut pass peacefully and your grief be short. It is so hard to lose such good friends. Prayers sent for you and your family.

My most sincere condolences.

I post this every time one of us has to say goodbye to a companion animal.



I've never had a pet that wasn't a rescue and it's been my experience that they know you saved them and they're grateful (even when they're being little buttheads).

take the time to grieve but then go save another one.

Sincere condolences to you and your wife during this sad time. May Our Lord give you comfort and peace. I truly believe we will see our lost friends again someday.

...take the time to grieve but then go save another one.

Solid truth.

In 40 years of marriage we have been adopted by 30 animals. If I had the means and the room we would empty the shelters.

Sorry to read this, my condolences.

I well know what it is like I have had to do the "right thing" on 11 members of my four legged friends over the years.

I'm sorry to read this too. We've all had to do it. I have the same thing coming up... I am not looking forward to it either. Our condolences. We just need to remember them going forward. They are never really gone

Sad news, condolences to you and your wife. Go get another as soon as possible, they need you and you need them.

Acorn- It's a hard day but I hope you take comfort because you did give her a chance and a good life with a compassionate way out. Bravo!

 

[messmergreen]

So sorry to hear that!I have two cats and love them to the moon and back. Just recently ordered them new collars from Pet express against ticks as i am afraid of those a lot and heard many sad stories. Hope everyone is well and keep their little furry friends safe too.

Peanut will be waiting for you at the "Rainbow Bridge".

I just got back from having my 17 year old cat put down also. It is a hard thing to do but I'm sure I will go through it again.

 

[oldbrownhat]

BTDT, hurts like ****, even though you know you're doing the right thing. Only slightly less painful than when one "disappears"

 

[quikdraw67]

God bless.

It will be a year since we said goodbye to our beloved Oliver Kitty. Still hurts.

 

[chuckie]

So sorry for your loss!
