I’ve just got back from the emergency vet - my beautiful cat had to be put to sleep.

It’s three in the morning and I’m so sad.

He was absolutely fine and then at midnight started yowling in distress and couldn’t weight bear.

Apparently he’d had a thrombus, a clot. He was put to sleep at 0145 as there’s nothing they could do for him.

I’m so upset. I’ve still got his fur on my cardigan. I’m going to miss him so much.

So sorry Thanks

It's the worst part of having pets.

You got him help quickly, and he didn't suffer.

Thinking of you Flowers

Thank you all you lovely night owls and overseas posters.

I know he didn’t stand a chance, but it was so sudden and so shocking.

Can I share a pic of my beautiful boy?

Oh how awful. Please do share a pic and tell us about him. And once it stops being so raw try to be glad for the happy life you gave him.

He's beautiful Sidge. What was his name? If you want to share.

ChristmasSprite · 25/11/2018 03:46

Oh gawd Siege how sad, and shocking. Am so sorry, sharing tears with you for a loss of one of ours too (a while back, but still a bit raw).

Flowers. You did good by him. You took the best and stopped it hurting for him, and that's hard.

He's truly gorgeous. Find yourself a substitute 'cuddle'.

Oh I'm so sorry @Sidge. What an awful night Thanks
Sending you best wishes, we went through something similar in August. Not healed and still lots of regular weeps but it does get better. For now be kind to yourself and remember the good times xx

ChishandFips33 · 25/11/2018 10:18

So sorry to hear this Flowers

We went through similar in the summer and it's heartbreaking

They have such wonderful personalities that squirrel their way deep in to your hearts

Hope you've managed some sleep

FedUpWithBriiiiiick · 25/11/2018 10:19

So sorry for your loss Sidge. You have honoured your DCat by giving them dignity in death. The kindest gift Thanks
