Our boy was PTS this evening - absolutely gutted

I posted in December about our cat who was coming to the end and was peeing in the house. We thought he had more time with us, he seemed to pick up earlier this month but took a turn for the worst over the weekend and this evening we made the difficult decision to say goodbye.

We know it was for the best, he was really sick and suffering and we gave him as good a life as we could over the past 6 years but I am so sad that he’s gone. The house feels empty and I keep expecting him to appear meowing for food or find him snuggled up in the office. He was more than just a cat, he got us through the worst times of our lives and did so much for us. We keep saying what an amazing boy he was. I can’t stop crying, I’m totally gutted.

Sending love Flowers
They are part of our families and have little personalities we know so well. We lost ours before xmas at the age of 20 and I sobbed and felt bereft for ages. But... he is out of pain. Your beautiful boy was ready.

I’m so very sorry for you. But you did the right thing for him, he was obviously one of the lucky ones who had a loving home and a lovely life. I hope you have many happy memories of your boy.

So sorry for your loss 💔
It’s so hard as they are a huge part of your family.
It sounds like he was very loved and had a great life with you.

We just had to say goodbye to our beautiful girl dog on Saturday 😢 she was 13 and we had a feeling it was coming but I’m heartbroken.
We lost her brother almost exactly a year ago and we know it won’t be that long until we lose our beautiful boy cat too 💔

So very sorry for the loss of your lovely boy.

You gave him a lovely life and you were fair to him when the time came.

He was your family and gave you love as he did you.

He is forever in your heart ❤️

So sorry to read this. We had our cat put to sleep yesterday, I'm still quite teary today and keep expecting her to walk in the room. The house is so quiet and will take some getting used to for sure xx

I'm.so sorry Flowers

It's the worst feeling but you made the right decision. You really did.
I'm.glad you made their life a happy one.

Our cat was put to sleep last Summer. We miss him but we enjoy chatting about the funny things he did and the naughty things. I found his cushion at the weekend and it smelt of him. Our previous cat died at home suddenly but in huge pain - it was awful, I am.glad we could put our other cat to sleep.

Focus on the happy life your cat had. My favourite cat died in November. He used to be always at my side and loved a tummy tickle. His brother from the same litter still misses him I think. He is a lovely cat but not as cuddly. I was very cut up at the time but now just remember him fondly. I made a photo montage with my favourite images of him and it is in the hall.
