Think I'm about to lose my old girl

[hillbilly]

My old girl (nearly 18) has been wobbly for a while and went from being an outdoor totally indoor cat about 6 months ago. She has not eaten nor drank anything since last night and she was vomiting this morning. Our vet saw her and gave her an anti nausea jab and advised I brink her home and make sure she's comfortable for when the inevitable happens. Feeling very sad and kids are devastated.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, this is the horrible bit we all try to pretend won't happen.

Can you stay home with her?

Poor girl and all of you she's clearly well loved by you all. It's hardest thing about having animals.

So sorry to hear your sad news I lost my old girl, also aged 18, last Summer. It is so difficult but ultimately its the final act of kindness. Do you have any photos or stories you would like to share, if you think it would help?

I'm so sorry. The worst part about having a pet is that they don't live as long as us and it's heart breaking. I hope it is peaceful for her

Thanks for your kind words. She died at around 10.20pm tonight. I do did not want to disturb her last moments that I just sat stroking her gently. Afterwards I picked her up and held her one last time. I'm dreading the morning when I have to tell the children.

Oh what a pretty girl she was.

I'm so sorry for your loss

A pretty girl indeed. I'm sorry.

So sorry hillbilly, thinking of you all

So sorry. I know how upsetting it is. Beautiful photo. x

Ah what a beautiful cat. So sorry for your loss. RIP dear puss

What a beautiful cat. I'm sorry

RIP beautiful girl. So sorry for your loss .

RIP so sorry for your loss.

The loss of a pet is very tough, hope you are doing okay.

So sorry to hear of your loss

Sorry for the loss of your lovely old girl.

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful girl. It's lovely that she was at home with you when she passed.

RIP Puss. Hope you and your children are OK

So sorry for you loss. What a beautiful girl she was. But what a lovely way to go for her. At home with you stroking her.

Thanks everyone. The kids were very upset but I think they knew it was time for her to go. The house seems very quiet today.

hillbilly so sorry [hugs]

Oh the house is just awful when they've gone. I hated it so much. Are you getting her cremated? We buried our girl's ashes in the front garden where she loved to sit in the sunshine. I think it helped the DSs a bit.

hill I know exactly what you mean about the house being too quiet, seeming all wrong without them. I didn't survive long before I was down the cat rescue! I hope your kids are ok. My daughter was devastated when our old boy Wilf was pts but she talks very fondly of him now. Your cat looked like the queen of all cats in that photo. V beautiful.

She's lovely. RIP pusscat
