OT: Lost my kitty

zombiekitten10

Lilo was a present from my mom back in 2003.  She was my little girl.  She moved with us three times.  Eventually she decided she loved my husband a bit more since he gave better scratchies.  She loved sunbeams, wet food, and sitting by the fire.  


My husband took her to the vet today.  Her kidneys were beginning to fail, her heart was starting to fail, she was having trouble breathing.  We made the excruciating choice to let her go rather than see her suffer.  My precious kitty.  I wasn't there to say gooodbye, but it's better than my husband bringing her home to me and then having to take her back.


My heart hurts so much.  She was almost 18. I feel like I lost another connection to my mom too.


Our furry friends are worth it.  I know that.  


I know that.  But it hurts so much all the same.

I'm so sorry Zombie...that's awful. Kidney and heart disease are a difficult combination because giving fluids to help the kidneys puts a lot of stress on the heart. It's obvious from your post how much you both love her and how well you cared for her. And it's the hardest decision ever but it's a great kindness to be able to end her suffering. Not that that makes the grieving process any easier. Big hugs

Zombie, sweetie, I am so very sorry. My Zo Zo sounds a lot like your sweet girl. Zoie saw me through some of the darkest and happiest days. To loose her, 3 yrs ago now, I still grieve over her.

My love and deepest condolences to you. I am so sorry for your loss.

We were camping and a coyote came next to our motorhome and grabbed our cat - we searched for 9 days and never found him. Offered a $1,000 reward at the campground

He had camped with us all over the country for 10 years

It's so painful, but you saw her through an entire lifetime, even supplying her with a top "scratchie-giver"! plus love and care, a home shelter good food. The whole package.

    Wellw e're two days into the new season (autumn in the Northern, spring in the Southern). And finally, it feels like it might stay! No, wait, 80s F again. Ugh. Oh well.***In 1869, Wall Street did one of its first spectacular crashes, after the ever-unscrupulous and a-holish Jay Gould and James Fisk decided to corner gold.

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
