Please pray for my wife and I. This late afternoon we’ll bring our 12-yr old cat Michel to the vet and put him to sleep. He has huge mass on his stomach, and the past several days had liquid all over his body. He’s been immobile for a while. Although he still eat, he’s always under pain killer 24/7, so we decide not to prolong his suffering. This is new experience for us.

I’m sorry for your loss.

I am sorry to hear this. I had been a dog guy all my life. My cats gave me a new experience.

You & your wife are in my prayers. I was alone when our 15 yr old cat was ready to pass. The kids were off to college and my husband was traveling for work, so I bore the burden alone. I had made the vet appointment to put him down for the next morning, but he passed in the evening before I could take him. It’s hard, so I know what you’re going through. Take care.

I feel your pain.

Prayers for you. I had to put down my 16 yr old and my 13 yr old last Sept. I got two young kitties (not quite kittens) who had been rescued together but not from the same litter. I have always heard to get 2 together. It is SO TRUE!

These two are best buddies, they groom each other, hug and love each other and entertain me to the max. You can't believe the relief from grief.

[Slings and Arrows]

I’m very sorry. G-d be with you in your time of need.

I’m very sorry for your loss. What a heart rending tragedy. If Michel has that huge tumor, he has to be in some pain, which would only have gotten worse. Better to gently go to sleep in a few seconds with his loving mom & dad right there to ease his passing. I really feel for you, am in tears just typing this. Been there (for kitty kidney failure), done that. Still hurts.

[Titan Magroyne]

I’m so sorry.

Often their lives may be extended thru medicine but not cured. After a while it becomes a quality of life issue, and a question of who really benefits from the extension.

I had to put down my little kitty last Friday myself.

I WILL pray for y'all. This has got to be one of the hardest things we are called to do when we open our hearts to welcome and love God's creatures. Other than parrots and such like birds, I don't know of any other animals that could outlive us. It is a price we pay in tears for all the joy and laughter they give us. I will pray for strength and comfort as you cross this bridge with your kitteh, Michel. I believe they know when their time has come and they are grateful to have us with them, to kiss them, softly speak their names and caress their bodies as they drift off to painless and peaceful sleep. My heart is with you!

Prayers for you and your wife. Been there, done that.
