My best friend !

Its always sad to lose them isnt it we had a lovely grey one who died last Nov he was a real character & thought the world of my husband.

yea sure is Wendybee she was spoiled rotten lol .

I lost a 20 year old a few years ago. I felt so bad about it, even though I knew he was an exceptionally old cat. It's never easy to lose them.

omg ! i cant believe how much he looks like mitzie Lauram ! i have photos just like that lol . yea had to take her to get put to sleep she had a brain tumour was hoping she would just have went in her sleep but she was suffering so had no choice . It was awfull !!! never again no more pets lol got hands full with grandchildren now lol .

Mine was fine....then one day I came home from work, he looked at me and fell over. I stayed with him until he died. It was so sad, even though he was ancient & I knew he didn't have long.
The cat I use as my avatar is Jet - still very much with us, fortunately! I think you should get another cat. I have 15!

I chuckled at Mitzie's expression ..... she looks a bit irritated, Pixey !!!

ha yea Louise one is not amused !! ha

I was at the vets for about a hour saying my good byes i just could'nt leave her i nearly brought her back home . The vet had to give it to me hard saying how much she would be suffing . But no way i could of stayed till they did it Lauram . I have her ashes in the back garden so she is still not far away ha .

I have stayed for all of them - I can't leave them there. I guess I have to look at the alternative. It's so fast, really just seconds. Mine are all buried on my property. I take in cats with feline leukemia, so I do have a lot of losses....they get to the point where they have to be put down, no amount of money or vet care will save them. Once they have symptoms, that's it, they're gone. So once they show symptoms I have them put down. We've gone through the blood transfusions and all that. I will never subject another one to intensive treatment again. I put one on a very expensive treatment and she was doing great, then I took her to get spayed and the vet (not my regular vet) gave her too much anaesthesia and killed her. That was hard, it was the worst day of my life.
