I made a very difficult decision yesterday. So no post today.

She was a really good cat.

It seems that I "internet know" a whole whack of people who have had to make this terrible choice recently. It's a horrible, awful choice to have to make - my heart breaks for you. I know that when I had to make the choice I felt like I had a kitty shaped hole in my heart and my life. I didn't last long before finding another companion. Something about sweet purrs and fluffy kitty butts just makes my day a tiny bit brighter. <3

You're a brave & strong lady, that as always, did the right thing.
Give yourself as much time to grieve as you need.
Go into the garden, hug your feather babies, & cry, until there are no more tears left.
You & Cleo were blessed to have each other, hold onto that.
Much love xxx

I am a veterinarian for 47 years. I had to put my 15-year-old lad to sleep last November. Nothing makes it easy for us but it does make it easy for them. It is the one privileged we have.

I know that pain. So sorry for you.

I’m so sorry.
She was a beautiful cat and the care you gave her shows how loved she was.
I feel for you and know the pain you are going back through.
I’m writing this with our 18 year old Lilac Point Burmese on my lap, she’s running out of lives and I dread the day we’ll have to make the final trip to the vet’s.

So sorry for your loss Karen. It's such a hard decision to make but done out of love. I know this feeling well. Hold on to your memories and remember the love that was given and received!
Cats are so loving and so family oriented..... I have 4 fur babies🐱 and although it hurts to lose them, I would never give up the joy of having them in our family!
Blessings to you and Cleo👼👼

I’m so sorry, Karen. I’m glad you had her for as long as you did. Cleo was a lovely kitty.

So very sorry Karen. We know, going in, that we'll have to say goodbye to our loving companions, but that doesn't make it any easier when the time comes. They give us so much unconditional love.

It amazes me the pain that we can feel when we lose an animal who we love. I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain.

That decision is the kindest act of love you can extend. It's also the most difficult, and you are correct that you brought pain upon yourself in order to eliminate hers. I'm so sorry for your loss, and hoping that your grief will be replaced by only fond and happy memories of your dear Cleo sooner than you think it can be.
