Em, I’m so sorry about Katie. Having just lost Turbo a month ago, I know *exactly* how you feel. And no, knowing it’s coming doesn’t make it any easier. Not one bit. 😥
We’re here for you if you need us. {{{hugs}}}
And give the other cats some extra hugs–fur therapy is a wonderful thing.I am so sorry to hear about Katie Boo and that final decision is always very very hard to make. Many years ago I had a cat that lived to be almost 18 and I came home from work one evening and she was laying on the floor crying in pain and I knew it was time so I took her to the vet. When he looked at her he told me she had a completely different attitude and that quite often the animal itself will let you know when it is time to let go. But it isn’t easy.
I’m sorry Emerald. The urn sounds beautiful. You gave Katie Boo a great life and you really took care of her. Tasgrs is right: fur therapy works wonders. *hugs*
I’m so sorry… it’s hard to let go… but it sounds like she had a good life with you, since she was so close to you. The urn sounds like it’s beautiful. *hugs*
I called the vet clinic to get some information about sub-q and euthenasia (sp?), but they haven’t called me back yet.
I did speak to my friend who does the pet readings. She had visited the kitties while I was gone, so I wanted her opinion on what to do (she also used to be a vet asst). She said that she thought that Katie was just waiting for me to be ready. She was okay going now or in a few days, but wanted me to be ready. She must know how upset I am. She’s always seeing me crying. She made sure she ate while I was gone because she didn’t want to die without me being there. But that she was ready. My friend said “goodbye” to her when she left that night.
My friend also said that sometimes pets do stuff on beds to make their humans upset and hurry the decision along. So, she obviously is giving me a message.
My friend also said that she thought it was too late for the fluids and that they wouldn’t help much, and I’d just be prolonging the inevitable. Katie is not going to recover from this. She is too far gone and has lost too much weight to recover.
I don’t want to see her suffer, so I’m going to have to have her put to sleep. I am planning for Thursday at this time. I may chicken out again, just so you know. But that is my decision at this time. My friend said she’d go with me to the vet. I sure hope this is the right thing to do. 😥
I’m so sorry to hear about your little love.
Lots of hugs and strength to you.
She loves you now, and will continue to love you for letting her go.
Both of you are on my heart and in my prayers…
Chickened out. She seems active and happy again, so we are waiting. I’m sorry for calling wolf and playing with everyone’s emotions.
I won’t be mentioning euthanisia again until after it’s done. 🙁
Thats ok Emerald don’t worry about it. I’d be the same way if it were my dog Alf or cat Mocha. We have several of each but they are my closest babies. Katie will most likely have more ups and downs before it is all through. Meantime many of us will be here with virtual shoulders for you and hugs. And of course kitty kisses for Kattie
No worries, Em, that’s why were here! Hang in there… hugs for you and kisses for Katie
