oh dear, that's saddening to hear :(

*gives you the biggest of hugs* Aww.. I'm sorry, Nae.

I know how that feels :c *hugs warmly*

I am sorry to hear. D:

I feel for ya. I had to have my cat put down a few months back, it sucks I know.

Mine was about a year ago today, I still miss him :(

One of the worst feeling in the world...

You said it. I hope everyone feels better. This is not a fun topic :(

I am sorry to hear that. I pray that if this is it's time, that it doesn't suffer, and will be in a better place.

I'm very sorry to hear that. :( It's very sad. (

I'm sorry to hear that. At least you tried,miss, and I'm sure even if he/she can't say it, that I know that your cat friend appreciates that you tried.

i know the feeling dear my family pet a Chihuahua got by the name getda suffered from was similar case

* many hug *

First, please understand that I don't mean to belittle your concerns.

Recently, while driving through South Dakota and listening to the radio, I heard a dramatic reading by Senator Thune (of what I believe had been a voicemail left to his office). Following a surprising turn of weather that left a shocking number of cattle dead, a constituent left a message approximating this:

"All my life, I'd worked to become the best rancher I could be, and to do all that I could for my herd. But I guess I could have done more..."

The message was abruptly terminated to the sound of tears.

All of us do what we can to promote what matters to us, but there are times when we are overcome by circumstances. At best, it is difficult for those of us without the identical experience to understand the loss felt by someone whose feelings encompass situations we can not know. I hope, though, that you will accept that all of us appreciate this difficulty, even if the road you travel is yours alone.

Every loss is unique, but we all endure as best we can. Carry on, for the good you can do.

Eventually, you will be okay. It will take time and it will hurt a lot. But you will be okay.

Loosing a pet is extremely hard, and in no way should you feel like this in your fault in any way.
You tried your best, but sometimes your best simply is not good enough. The world is an unfair place that is built to eventually steal away the things you love most.
All you can do now, if enjoy what time you do have left with your cat. It may be hard and make everything feel heavy and overwhelming, but your feline will forever be thankful for having such a great over that loved it so much and tried until the bitter end to make it feel content and comfortable in its time of need.

Do what you can to make the last memories of your feline, memorable ones.

Oh gosh WhiteMantis I'm so sorry to hear that. I know what its like to feel helpless in the face of a pet's illness, and wish there was something I could do to help you. :( :hug:

Everyone has said such wonderful things.

The hurt doesn't ever fully go away, but it gets easier with time. I rescued cats full time with a local TNR group, I can't tell you how many times I've held a cat as it lay dying.
However, those deaths were due to neglect and abuse of owners. Your kitty was well loved and he will know you were there for him. He loves you.

Sorry to hear that..
You did what you could, and I bet your cat knows that.
I wish you a lot of strengh. ♥

Ooh...uh...eeh...mmm... ...well, first of all I'm sorry to hear this. Losing a pet, especially one that means a lot to you, is always heartbreaking. Ironically enough, I had a friend whose rat passed away a few days ago. So no worries Nae, I'm here for ya. **hugz**

My black cat passed away this year... but don't blame yourself... that's how life goes sadly... you did what you could, if it's her/his time then let it be, because sadly cats don't live that long
I'm sorry that this happened to you... stay still...

My cat is sick...and I don't know if he's going to get better...
I know how you're feeling right now...
I'm so scared...

im so sorry! :(

I'm sorry. Losing friends... human or non... destroys the heart in ways some can not even fathom.

All things die in the physical world...

But they only die for good, if you lose that love for them in your heart.

I am so, so sorry...I don't even know what to say...

i am so sorry. i can't even say how much

You have my sympathy, madam.

It is not easy for a owner when a pet is nearing its final days.

Sorry to hear, good luck to you though. I know what it means to you.

oh no... sweetheart, I'm so sorry... *hugstight* ... you did everything you could, but sometimes it just isn't enough. I feel your pain and grief, I really do. be strong, dear one. I'll keep you and sweet bruna in my thoughts.

I know that feel. It's the worst feel in the world :'( I'm sorry I can't offer more than just a comfort hug.

Their love is yours forever, and they live forever in your heart and memory. I lost my Luna many years ago... It still hurts. But she loved me, and that is something I'll never lose.

My condolences.

*offers comforting hugs if they'll help...*

Well, make sure that you put her down. I made the foolish mistake of watching my cat die to the end, we thought because she was still running around that she would prefer it, but after a while even she was done and it was just... depressing.

I'm sorry. It's very hard losing a cherished pet. :(

I'm sorry to hear that.

My girlfriend,  Derranged has been there before... four times. She's been there to put four of her five cats down when the end came for them... it was very hard for her (especially the last one, which came during a bad time in her life).

*e-hugs*

I hope things go smoothly for you and your feline friend... take care.

Crap, I'm sorry to hear that :C

I dont know if this helps much, but I know how you feel.. When I was little, we got a german shepard named Astro. I spend most of my childhood with him, and the blow was hard when he got back problems and we had to see him go with it. We tried everything, even accupuncture, but in the long run it wasn't enough.

Still.. think of it in this way: You gave it your all, and probably gave him a bit more time to live. And most important of all I can tell that you gave him the best life a cat could have! Do what I did, remember the good times, and be happy you were able to experience his life together. And stay with him until the end. That is what matters most to him I think.

Lamento muito, querida. Eu perdi meus cães anos atrás, e até hoje sinto falta deles, mas sem a coragem de ter outro.

I'm sorry to hear that, Mantis. As someone who's been there in the past, you have my sympathies.

(hugs)

I'm sad to hear that, I really hoped she could make it...
I lost pets and people close to me. I know there is nothing can be said that would make you feel any better... Just don't blame yourself, please. As you said you DID everything that was possible. u_u
*hug*

My simpaties with you. :(

:c I am so sorry, loosing a pet is never easy. It's been almost a year for our little girl and I still get all watery just thinking about it. *hugs* She'll be with you always, Nay

*hugz* Feel for you hun. I too lost my cat earlier this year. = (

My sincere condolences. Losing a pet's always rough

So sorry for your loss, at least she was able to spend her life with such a caring person.


If it helps, you can make a memorial for her in the style of Chris Van Allsburg; put a little paw print or other kitty imagery hidden in your pictures. It's a great way to remember a pet in a positive perspective, and lets everyone share in their respects.

Best of wishes in this difficult time.

Memorials are really sweet. I lost my mother to a stroke on November 3rd, 2011. Since then I have put a little star in all my signatures. The star is now always in my images, the things I love doing the most, every of them, just like how she supported every piece of art I made!

That's a very moving gesture! If not too forward, it'd be my pleasure to contribute a physical star as well; kindly check your email.

I read your updated post that your kitty made it; so glad to hear -it really helps contextualize everything as a story of survival instead of loss. That said, my wife and I spent many, many thousands of dollars to save our pet during an extreme illness, and while it survived, I couldn't help but also think of all the little ones at the shelter who need homes that we could have saved with such funds. It's a very tough decision. I hope you can find joy knowing that in either outcome, you will have saved and bettered their lives.

Do not feel bad, girl. You DID all you could, as well you both gave her love and a good home. My condolences and I'm sending to you and Lotus my strengths and wishes and hugs >3<

=/ putz =/
nem sei oq falar
eu sinto muito por isso =/ é mtu ruim perder um bichinho =///

My heart goes out to you. another friend lost his dog recently (was having Grand Mal seizures, presume brain tumor. but at least she went while sleeping, and he was there with her) and there is just no good way to have it happen....

I'm sorry lass. I know the feeling all too well. Be with her in her last days. And treat her like a queen. She'll be waiting at the gates when your time comes.

And as others have said, you did all you could.

All things considered, it's a good day to die at least.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Well, at it will die in peace, but it still sadden me that your poor cat is about to die.

My deepest condolences... I know this feeling very well, as I lost my fifteen-year-old cat about two and a half years ago. She was my world... I know it's very, very hard to cope with something like this, but it'll be okay with some time...just hang in there, and give her as much love and attention as you can in her last days... <3

I know the feeling all to well. My dog had some heart issues and I did everything I could for her for so long.......but eventually it got to be too much and she passed on. I got to hold her when she did....still one of the hardest emotional experiences in my life. For a long time my dog was one of my only friends really. I've never had another pet like her.

Even though this has happened your cat knows you loved him. As much as it hurts just try and remember how all the wonderful times you had with your cat and press on. Many people here have sent you warm wishes and just know that it'll all get easier in time. Just spend as much time with him as you can while you have time left.

Please hang in there. I have lost many pets, as well.

Sometimes, that's really all you can do, is offer what you can -- and sometimes it is not enough.

It's an inevitability, but we always want it later than sooner! Spend time with them, make them as comfortable as possible. You provided care, happiness, and a home for years. What else could a cat want? ( Except world domination, and they've already got a few paws in that door! )

Stay positive! I know it's gloomy and bleak and a harrowing time, but we're all here for you.

*dragonhugs*

Oh goodness no... I'm sorry to hear the bad news. I think many who commented here know the feeling of losing a loved pet and can sympathize; I lost one earlier this year because we didn't have the money for his surgery, and thus had to put him down. He was a friend's cat I was baby sitting for about a year, and he developed an illness seemingly out of nowhere in a week.

*hugs* It's going to hurt, but I hope you know you did what you could. Taking on work to pay for your cat's medical bills shows how much you cared, and I'm sure it had a good life with you. I wish you the best, and your friend a quiet passage if there is nothing else left to do.

I'm so sorry! You did all you could and that is a lot more than what many pet owners would do. Pets are there for us when times are difficult for us emotionally, financially, etc and you've been there for your cat when it's been difficult for her. I do feel animals understand and appreciate the support we give when it's hard for them. When I lost my cat Isis to cancer I felt like I lost my shadow, someone that has always been there for over 18 years in my life. I've now years later accepted I did do everything I could and letting go is one of those acts caring I could do.

It never get's easy loosing a companion that is friend and family. I'm so sorry!

I lost a beloved cat a few years ago, and while the hurt never truly goes away, just know that in time, the memories of the good times you had with your feline friends will be stronger than the pain. Think of all the belly rubs, the bowls of food filled, the tuna slipped under the table because oh, he's just being so cute and I can't say no!

I'm very sorry to hear that, Nae :(
/hug

My sympathies on this, losing a pet, nay, a friend is never easy.

Wishing you peace and a pain free passing for your friend.

I understand the feeling.... I witnessed many animal deaths in my time, but the hardest wasn't even a pet.... It was my grandmother. Nevertheless, the sadness is all the same and that's why I express my condolences...
If you ever wish to talk just know I'm here for you. I'm so sorry about this....it breaks my heart knowing someone is experiencing such a dreadful thing.

it's always hard losing a beloved pet.My sincere condolences. I know how you feel.

So sorry to hear that. T.T Loosing animal babies is so hard.
A year ago, I lost two of my Shiba doggies, taken by an asshole with a gun. Year before that I lost an old kitteh while I was visiting my deployed husband. Ugh, the list goes on.
The next to go will probably be my old as dirt horse. T.T Hopefully of natural causes, not some messed up shit.

The time of year doesn't help with depression either.
Even though you did all you can to help your kitty, the best thing to do is to give an easy passing. Keep the cat as comfortable as possible and make the last days count. I hope closure comes quickly, and your kitty passes peacefully.

If you ever need an ear, I'm usually around.
