A Great Loss...A big secret... Mood
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 | A Sad story

He was a gentle soul....a sweet boy...

My comfort when the skies were dark and grey.

He was one of two brothers

Lost and hungry and abandoned..

He was loving, he was protective

he was my Stinky..

Just a cat..to many..

But the world to me.

 

Yesterday I found out that my Mother and sister-in-law had my cat put to sleep.

I was never told he was sick..

I was never consulted on what to do

I was never given the choice on how he would bee treated.

Today..still no explanation as I wait for someone to call me and tell me just what happened to my boy.

I feel betrayed, hurt and in disbelief that family would do this to me and Stinky.

Was he an inconvenience?

I have so many unanswered questions. They do know now that I know..but still have yet to call me and talk to me.

I hurt for so many reasons.

I feel lost..alone....and a bit of me has died along with him.

I don't think I can ever forgive them for this..for not respecting me and my feelings and love for this boy that I found at 12 weeks old...the little kitten I fed each morning for 4 months till he would allow me to touch him....

But for not giving me any say or choice in his treatment....

He was my boy....not just another cat and he meant the world to me.

 

Reason he was at my parents house was because when I moved here to Florida..he hid in the rafters and we were unable to get him even with sedatives.  So I felt comfortable leaving him in the care of my family..I missed him everday I have been here and when I went home to visit he was always so happy to see me and sleep with me like he used to.

So much for trusting family. 

His brother remains..and lives with me here in Florida.  We were able to get him in the carrier.

My heart is broken from the loss and betrayal.

    Oh Deb, I'm so sorry to hear about this, your poor baby boy.
    I know how we are when it comes to our babies, I know that when the time comes for one of our several dogs will leave us for a better place, both Sam and I will lose a part of us.
    Our lucky, she's a huskie, she is now 10 years old, and every now and then we talk about it, cause it is bound to happen.
    She always lived outside, with the others, she is the best guard dog ever.
    When lucky barks, we know it's not for nothing, so I hate to think that she probably be the first to go in time. much later, I hope.
    So again, I know how you feel, but if he was as sick as they say, maybe it was for the better, but they could have told you, poor you.
    Love & much respect love
    Mckenzie
    one day at the time.

    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It is very heartbreaking to lose a loving pet and more so to find out that your family put him down without telling you. If I were you, I would want answers and if they don't want to tell, that there is no trust to have with them maybe even now. It would anger me so to find out my family put one of my pets down and not give me an explaination or let me know. My friend recently lost her cat tragically. He was hit by a car and it pains both of us still. I would take care of him when ever she went away somewhere. I loved that cat like my own, he was so loving. I feel like a piece of my heart has been taken and it is hard to fight back the tears knowing he won't be around anymore or not seeing him. It is never easy to get over losing a pet as you consider them part of the family. I'm sure in due time we will get better but it is not easy to forget them. They will be in our hearts forever.

    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's so hard to lose a pet that we loved so much, but it must be even harder to have lost him the way that you did.
    Big hugs, Donna

    Did your family give any reason? I do know that there are 2 sides to every story but, like you, I would feel betrayed and extremely angry. So sorry for your loss. Our furry friends will always be with us in spirit, at least I try to tell myself that (we've lost 2 boys in 2 months). hugs.

    I am so very sorry for your loss and pain..I would DEMAND that your family tell you WHY and the details even though it may be hard to hear,it may help to give you a little closier.You and Stinky are in my thoughts and prayers...he knows you loved him..Many Hugs xoxoxo I am here for you if you want to talk,vent or just need a shoulder to cry on..Take Care ,Tammy

    Deb I'm so sad and sorry for what has happened to your precious pet. Do you think it's possible that your family did it (misguidedly admittedly) to spare your feelings, knowing your health conditions, and not wishing to put you under more stress right now?He must surely have been very ill for them to make this decision? Perhaps they were waiting for the 'right' time to tell you...However, I don't underestimate for a moment the pain you are in on finding out this information. I believe that like our human loved ones, our precious pets live on, and are just around the corner waiting for us...A friend of mine sensed our little cat Jesamine who had been knocked down, whilst she was giving me healing..It was wonderful to hear this, as I still miss her so much...You will see Stinky again..don't doubt it for a minute...Lots of Love and special Hugs, Diana xoxox

    My dear Deb ,i`m so so sorry for your loss.
    try and think how good you made his life..how safe and secure ,when he wouldn`t trust anyone else.
    I know you feel hurt and betrayed by your family..
    I do`nt know if they tried to spare you more grief ,when your so poorly ,but you had a right to say what ,where and when.
    I`m here for you my friend..Stinky will always live on in your heart....lucky boy ,that of all the people in the world..he chose YOU to come get him..
    Sending all my love ,and gentle ,comforting hugs......sharon xoxoxooox
