I don't know if the request is prayers for her or me and my wife. I can't imagine a world without my cat.
If nothing else, please pray for a heaven that includes our beloved pets.
God sent them to us to be our friends and companions in life and to teach us the meaning of unselfish love. A loving God would not withhold that from us in the afterlife.
Would He?

sad ping.
Can you please ping the group?
It doesn't look good.
I don't know what I will do if I have to let Musica go.

I love cats. It would indeed be good to see old feline friends in heaven.

I can't imagine why He would.

We learn true love through our pets.
I HAVE to assume God will have them there with us. I HAVE to assume they have souls (although not like ours).
I HAVE to.
Thanks, Ben.

As someone who lost a dog I was really attched to after five years (that was five years ago and I've not gotten a replacement--the first time in my life without a dog), all I can say is, Man, are you fortunate!
I hope your gratitude for this long time with your pet doesn't blind you to its suffering, and you do the right thing by honoring the LONG time you've had together and let her go so she'll be out of pain. Best wished to you and your family.

My prayers are with you and your kitty. May I ask what breed she is? Is she an oriental breed? Twenty four is extreme old age! You must have taken very good care of her.
How are her kidneys? Is she getting IV fluid treatments daily? Is she hyperthyroid? How is her attitude? Is she cranky?
To: freedumb2003
My thoughts are with you and your wife. You are fortunate in having Musica so many years. But don't hold on too long, trust in the vet as well as your instincts.

Thanks, Darkwolf.
For 5 years the vet has been calling our kittie a "miracle cat." So I appreciate every day.
I am working on the road, but I will see her this weekend. I hope it isn't for the last time, but it seems time has caught up with us.
It is difficult to imagine life without her after a quarter of a century. She is older than some FReepers for Goodness sake :)
I appreciate your sentiments.

She is a basic tabby (probably why she lived so long).
One Kidney has been gone for a while. The other seems to be OK.
She is hyperthyroid and that is the problem. We can't increase the medication, but there is a possibility the current regime will start working OK again. But if i doesn't, that is pretty much it.
She is demanding but not cranky. She eats well, so we will be watching closely.
Thanks for stopping by.
You really know your old cats!

My prayers are with you. I remember when I had to put my 18 year-old cat (Pookie) to sleep :-( I still honor her (below)...

Thanks. :)
My wife is holding together -- but I don't know which if us is more devastated.
I suspect she is stronger than me.

There are certainly some pets who belong there more than some people do. :)

I think it is wonderful how you honor your kittie. And I am sure you agree that we will all be reunited in the bye and bye.

I feel your pain. My 9 year old cat has some kind of intestinal cancer. She's fading fast, although doesn't seem to be suffering (she's on predisone to help reduce the swelling of the tumor, and it also helps her appetite).
I'll pray for your cat. Please keep mine in prayer as well.
To: pookie18
Thanks -- I am a complete and total blubbering mass of tears now.
Thank God that I am telecommuting today!
This is something people either understand or they don't.

Whatever you do, don't let the vet anesthitize the kittie. She'll never wake up from that at her age.
