I know it was the best thing. She was vomiting blood and she was incontinent and in pain.
It still fucking SUCKS.

She was 13. I’ve had her since she was a few months old.
I miss her so much.
What a beautiful cat! She was obviously well loved.
I know how you feel. The day I had to put my dog to sleep was awful. I felt so guilty and relieved at the same time.

True Love is knowing what you have to do to spare your pet suffering.
She was a special cat to have you as her servant. So sorry on your loss.
Your cranky baby was beautiful. I’m petting Eddie the Huge right now to honor your kitty.

Hugs for FilmGeek.
My thoughts are with you.
I’m so very sorry. I had to have the vet come and put my Pookie down just about 24 hours ago (noon on Wed). He had cancer and was too weak to go on.
It leaves a huge hole, a void. You don’t know what to do with yourself afterward. Just keep telling yourself you did the right thing - it IS the best thing you can do. She knew it.
I’m sorry. Going through this black hole of grief is unbearable.

I’m so sorry. I know how tough it is, and how much it sucks.
{{FilmGeek }} I’m so sorry.
She was a beautiful girl… she was lucky to have you to love her and care for her so well right up to the end.
No shame in that. If only humans were afforded the same option, there’d be less people suffering. Sad but true.
I’m so sorry, but you did what was best for her. I had to do the same for my cat of 15 years and it was horrific.
Hang in there. ::hug::
Filmgeek, Angel: I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure you both gave your kitties the happiest lives and the easiest exit you possibly could.
I’m sorry; I know what it’s like to have to do the right thing even when it’s so emotionally painful. You’re right; it sucks.
Holy crap, your cat looks just like mine. Even thinking about it made me tear up. What a difficult decision for you, but you did the unselfish thing and that shows how much you loved her. Hugs for you. I’m so sorry.
I’m so sorry, FilmGeek and Angel of Doubt .
It’s not easy, I know. It’s been three years for me, and I still miss my little blue girl. You both have my condolences.

I’m so sorry to hear it.
I’m way too experienced in losing cats. This year has been hell; I’ve lost three.
I’m sorry. It does suck.
