Devastated

[user1471439686]

My tabby girl, Tess, suddenly became unwell on Saturday evening. I found her on our stairs having a fit. We rushed her to the vets but there was nothing they could do as they found she had terminal Liver Cancer.

We very, very sadly had to have her put to sleep and it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

Tess came to me ten years ago, at the age of 3 from a rescue. Tess became my shadow. When I was upset, she was there. When I was happy, she was there. She was always there. And now I can’t cope knowing that she isn’t.

I am heartbroken and I am distraught. I wish I could rewind time.
I will forever miss her.

So sorry
Cry lots and talk, it does help with the shock and sadness.
Early to say this, but may help in time - I bet she loved you and her life too. She looked very happy in photos.

Sleeping Sloth: thank you so much and I’m so sorry to hear about your boy it is true that if we could have, we would have done anything to help her. Just sadly, it wasn’t to be. It’s so hard though

Chocmallows: thank you. She was so, so loved, I just hope she knew that

It is so hard. Sometimes I hear a noise in the house and think it's him, forgetting for a moment that he is gone.

I have our boys photo as my screen saver on my phone so I see him all the time. I'm having my favourite photo of him made into a canvas and we have kept his bowls and brush as well as I couldn't part with them. He was on a special kidney diet and cost quite a lot in vet bills during his last couple of years. We have decided to donate what we used to spend on him each month to a cat sanctuary as we won't have another cat as we don't want to go through this heartbreak again. I really do understand your sadness. As our boy got older he spent more time at home with me whilst everyone else was out so it hit me very hard. I think of him every day but I do smile now as he was so lovely. In time you will smile too when you think of your beautiful Tess. She will have known how lived she was.
