My kitty

[mickey65]

My little Lucy has been very sick for the past few months. She lost her sight and hearing and has been on medication for her kidneys and thyroid. Yesterday I took her for her blood work, hoping that her kidney levels were improving. Unfortunately, they have only gotten worse. She is pretty well in complete kidney failure. I have been putting off the decision for weeks now to have her euthanised, but the time has come and I have to do what is best for her. I just lost my other fur baby 10 months ago, so it is so hard to lose my Lucy now too, but I know Max is waiting up there for her and they will both be ok.

Please, if you would not mind keep us in your thoughts. It has been a very hard summer for me and I would appreciate any positive vibes you cna send. Thanks.

This must be so hard.

I am so sorry ... A good friend sent me this when my first cat, Magic, passed away.

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I know that is going to happen to me someday and my Ally will have to go to kitty heaven with the rest but I can't phathom how hard it is for you to have to do this. I can feel for your loss just thinking about it.

So sorry to hear about Lucy. A friend of mine just had to put her kitty down yesterday too. She knew it was for the best, but it was still so difficult. Good luck to you. {{{Hugs}}}}

I have loved and lost before and have 3 kitty's and a dog at home now..

It is so terribly hard to think of saying Good-bye...
You will know what you have to do and when you have to do it...

It is a heartbreak.

Know I am thinking of you and saying a prayer for your heavy heart. and for your little baby.

 

[snoopy]

Aww, I am so sorry Val.

I'll keep you and your fur baby in my prayers.

So sorry to hear about your cat. I know what you're going thru and it's so hard to think about what's best for your pet when all you want is for them to be there at least one more day and you think this everyday. Time will only heal your heart. {{{Hugs}}} and God bless.

 

[Rajah]

I'm so sorry. *hugs*

 

[MickeysMommy]

I'm so sorry. I know what it is like to have to make that decision ~ my kitty was 21 when we had to put him to sleep and I cried for months...still do. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[Adrianna]

I'm really sorry I hate to hear about sick kitties, but it's what's best for her, if she's in that poor health. She'll know you loved her and did what you had to do.

 

[Michelle]

Oh, I'm so sorry. We just adopted a kitty this week and now I know how much my heart would break if/when we had to make the decision you do. HUGS!!!

I wrote this when our Old Cat died. He's been gone nearly 4 years and I still miss him. Like your cat he was in kidney failure and putting him to sleep was the right and humane thing to do.

It's so hard to lose a beloved pet!

My faithful friend has gone away to a place... I cannot follow.
To long green grass and rushing brooks and a time just past tomorrow.
He's left a spot here in my heart that's empty and so aching,
That the tears won't stop. They go on and on. I know my heart is breaking.

He was only a stray, an old tom cat, when he found us one fine day.
He was all beat up and nearly starved and I thought he'd run away.
But with food and warmth and a lot of love he made my house his home.
And I thanked God each and everyday that he never more would roam.

But time flies by in the wink of an eye and the autumn of life draws near.
And then even love and the best of care cannot prevent the time you fear.
The Old Cat's gone. He has slipped away ... my cat, my pet, my friend.
But our love goes on and follows you 'til, in Heaven, we meet again.

I'm sorry Valerie. {{{HUGS}}} for you.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lucy. One of our cats is also named Lucy, so this touched me a little bit more than it might normally have. I'll keep her in my thoughts.
