DCat was a rescue cat which we had from when DD was 3 and she is absolutely besotted with him. DCat is unknown age but has been a massive part of our family for the last 7 years. He has been losing weight and and vets have found a huge abdominal mass and since he is obviously now struggling, we have an appointment in an hour to have him put to sleep. I always get way too attached to pets and DD is obviously very like me and is absolutely distraught. My head says we are doing the kindest thing for DCat and I am trying to answer all DD questions, give her cuddles and reassurance but this is her first experience of any death, and it feels so horrible. Any wise words?
