The litter tray

My beautiful old lady is gone

My beautiful 19 year old lady had to be pts this morning Sad her back legs were failing her and this morning she lost the ability to go to the toilet at all. I know it was the kindest thing for her but I feel so so awful. And now I have to go to my Grandad's funeral. How much can one person cope with it one day?

Oh, I am so sorry, Littlemiss. It's hard, but you know that you did the right thing by her, if she was in pain. Too many people let their pets struggle on for too long. This must be so hard when you are already grieving for your Granddad.

Have you got any lovely photos of her you'd like to share? Or anything you can tell us about her?

Flowers Poor you, such a tough day. You did the best thing for her and I am sure you gave her a very happy, and extremely long life.

I'm so sorry Littlemiss Flowers

Even when you know it's the right thing to do, it's still awful to lose them.

What a very painful day for you, bless you. I hope you can have a good cry and look after yourself this evening. So hard to lose your cat-family-friend, and I am sorry too for the loss of your grandfather. Flowers

Even without my furry little alarm clock I was still awake at 4.30. Right around when she'd wake me up every morning walking all over me and howling to be fed. I've never known a cat howl like she did.
I think I know it was the kindest decision to make, especially yesterday when her bowels/bladder seemed to just stop working but it doesn't ease the guilt. I hate having to be the one to make that decision and never knowing if it was too early or not Sad

What an absolutely stunning cat Smile

I'm so very sorry, Littlemiss; of course you know you've done the right thing, but it doesn't make it hurt any less. Big hug to you Flowers
