More from TaniDaReal
In May 2016 we got the diagnosis, which took us totally by surprise - your kidney levels were bad (creatinine 3,2). You were only 7 years old. For almost one year, we fought. You fought. You were the bravest, strongest little girl I knew. Our bond and love was extra ordinary. You were always there for me, and I for you.
Despite all medication, treatments and several vets we tried, your blood results got constantly worse (at the end creatinine over 9,4). Your love and trust in me remained. But your playful, silly, joyful being slowly faded over the months. You had the will to live until the end (that’s why we kept fighting), but at the end, your body gave up. When you didn’t come to the door any more, couldn’t find comfort in my hugs any more, couldn’t eat any more because you were so sick (and many other symptoms), I knew it was time to give you peace…
I stayed with you until the very end. I had you on my lap all day, telling you how much I love you, until the vet came to our home. It happened so fast. I held you in my arms, I kissed you, I was there when you took your last breath. It breaks my heart and I cry whenever I think of it. The pictures of the last moments are haunting me… although I know it was the right time to end your suffering.
Right after you started your journey to the other side, I held you in my arms while we drove to the animal crematory. Your body was still warm. In a special room, with candles and roses, I had the chance to hold you in my arms as long as I wanted to say good bye. For the first time in months, you seemed so peaceful, without pain, like you were sleeping. Your fur was wet with my tears. I was the only and last one allowed to touch you. I gently placed you on the bed with a red rose. A last kiss. Afterwards, I was there when they took your ashes and filled it into the urn. I didn’t leave you for a minute, we could take you back home right away.
Your urn is next to my bed now, the candle shining the warmth and love that you always brought me. I love you, I love you so much, and always will, my baby. I will always be with you, no matter in which world. We don’t stop existing, we just continue in a different form.
In ever loving memory and tears

She was a beautiful cat. We used to have a stray that took up residence here which looked very similar to her. Pets are so wonderful, but the hardest part about having them is knowing that some day you'll have to say goodbye. I'm sorry for your loss. At least she lived a very long life for a cat, and based on your words, I'm sure it was a great one.
My deepest condolences for your loss. :( It's never easy losing a pet, I lost my dog in December of 2015 and I still think about her each and every day. Trisca is in a better place now, free from all the pain. She is at peace. She seemed like a very sweet cat, and I have no doubt she loved you as much as you loved her.
I'm so sorry to hear this. She was very brave to want to continue living, and I am sure she has felt comforted by all the love that you gave her, especially during the hard times. It's beautiful that you have the urn next to your bed now, with a candle. This is a worthy goodbye. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Kraft.
Das ist richtig traurig zu hören und ich weis ganz genau wie deine Trauer sich anfühlt, habe meine Katze, die ich seit klein auf kannte und meine beste Freundin war, auf die gleiche Art und Weise verloren. Ich hatte den letzten Monat den ich sie noch hatte mit ihr genoßen und man hat es ihr angemerkt das sie es auch tat, daher bin ich mir sicher das Trisca es bei dir auch tat und sie wird auch immer in deinen Gedanken als deine süße Katze bleiben.
Sie möge jetzt ihren Frieden finden und ich hoffe das du deine Trauer bald mit Kraft und Fröhlichkeit überwinden wirst, da Trisca das bestimmt wollen würde.

I know words seem so little comfort in times like these but my deepest condolences. They become so much more than mere pets. They become family. There will always be twinges of pain but in enough time they will not be so overwhelming & the good memories will the most prevalent trust me. *hugs*
That is such a very, very hard decision to make. I am very sorry that you had to decide.
The only comfort I have is knowing that animals, especially cats, are much more philosophical about death than we are. Cats, particularly so. When their time comes, they seem to say, "Thank you for your loyal service. You're dismissed."

I said it before and will say it again, you did everything you could within your power to make things better. Sometimes life is just life and no matter what you do, nothing more can be done.
I hope you can find solace in the fact that you gave her a great life with lots of love and that the best thing that anyone can give their pets.
Hugs.

I went through something very similar, I understand how hard it is... one day my Rupert wasn't eating all of the sudden. I took him to the vet to find out that he needed a blood transfusion immediately. My baby wasn't even a year old, we lost him out of the blue that day.
The sadness and pain will never go away, but try to look back on all the smiles you two had together with a happy heart.

Tut mir echt leid das zu hören. Ich weiß noch wie ich am Boden zerstört war als meine Katze von mir ging.
Sie hatte einen Schlaganfall im Alter von 11 erlitten und musste eingeschläfert werden lassen.
Was auch immer dir das wert sein mag, so wisse dass einige hier dich im moment deine trauer echt gut verstehen können.
7 Jahre ist echt noch zu jung :/
Ich weiß nicht ob das die erste Samtpfote ist von der du abschied nehmen musstest, aber falls ja, dann kann ich dich
zumindest beruhigen, dass wenn der schlimmste Schmerz ersteinmal vorüber ist, kommen die schönen Erinnerungen
hervor und dann kommen nicht mehr allein nur die Tränen wenn du dich an deine Fellnase erinnerst, sondern auch
ein Lächeln :)
Ich bin mir sicher, sie wird dich auch in deinen Träumen besuchen kommen :)

I'm so sorry. CRF is such a heartbreaking disease for cats... it seems to come so suddenly, and with such ferocity, that even expert vets face difficult challenges to treat it. I've been through this journey three times with our own cats, have embarked upon it a fourth time with one of our current clan, and cried twice for cats we gave care to at the animal rescue. This never gets easier. I have no words of wisdom to take the hurt away, only a shared sorrow and my own understanding the hurt and emptiness you feel for the cat-shaped hole in your heart.
Trisca was a lovely, and loving, cat. Most importantly, she was your girl and wanted for nothing in her time under your guardianship. I am so sorry that you had to make this difficult choice, that you had to say goodbye. I am only thankful that you could spend time with her before and after her parting, that you have many loving memories that you made with her, and that she will never be far from your side. So long as you keep thoughts of her in your heart, she will be with you always as a part of your shadow.

Very sorry for your loss. She looks a lot like my Grandma Baby Skittles, who also passed away recently. Skittles had a two-face, one side black and the other magenta and dirty whites. Most of the family showed up for the wake. They really do become your kith and kin.
I'm so very sorry. We lost our little boy beagle last year to cancer. I know your pain, we did the very same thing. It hurts....and will for a very long time.
The pain runs Deep still for me. But it Does get better......over time the wound Will heal. You Will be together again one day, This I Do believe.
I wish you peace my friend and healing.

I know what that's like. My first cat, Mittens, started having a lot of health problems when he was 13 years old. He started really showing his age, and became annoying and moody, after a lifetime of being a patient, chill, loving cat.
He got hit by a car after, as far as we know, a lifetime of avoiding the road. Had it happened a few years before, I would have been devastated. As it was, I was just guilty I wasn't more sad that he was dead.

Please accept my most sincere condolences, Tani. When our beloved fuzzy family members need us in that time of failing health, it's the most difficult decision in the world to make, to call the vet that one last time. I similarly lost my kitty back in 2001, also due to kidney failure as well as leukemia, and that was the hardest decision I ever had to make in my life. Thinking about holding her as she took her last breaths still brings me to tears.
The pain will get easier to bear over time. *hugs tight*

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know the pain of making that decision. it hurts to let them go, even though you know its for the best. cats are the most wonderful companions and I often wonder what we ever did to deserve them in our lives. even to the end they still love and care about you more than their own well being... I am so terribly sorry for your loss.
maybe this will help you as it has helped me over the years

So sorry to hear of your loss. I myself have helped several companions in their time of need. Take comfort in that the last thing she heard and knew on this plane was your voice and presence.
Our companions live such mayfly existences compared to our own - but I am always reminded by the words from Bladerunner "The brightest flame only burns half as long".. and in that we must accept.
Please - treasure her lasting gift to you - her memories - and do not dwell on the might haves or should haves. Should I have given more treats, more hugs.. She loved you regardless.
Sincerely..
