My Eldest Cat Had To Go To Sleep

[washabear]

I am very sorry for your loss, and I know this is not an easy time for you, but always remember that she lived a life filled with love and happiness, and that was because of you. She knows.

I am very sorry

You have my heartfelt sympathies.
And I am very glad you adopted. There are so many cats and dogs who need people to love them as you have.

Thats rotten. Sorry to hear that it had to happen. It was kind of you to let her go, though.

I am so sorry!

I am so sorry to hear this. :-( It breaks my heart to see how much pain we go through when we lose one of our furry family members. They are never here long enough but give us a lifetime of love in the short time they are here.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Ross, sorry do read about your Lieselotte. I've had to do that myself, and might have to do it again. I have been more upset loosing a furry family member than loosing some of my human family.

Sorry to hear this Ross.......

Back in the mid 90s I had to go through that with a cat I had for 17 years. She was born crippled and was never able to really walk - when she stood up her back end would fall over - no coordination there but front was ok so, since she was not in pain or suffering in any way, we decided to keep her and she was an indoor cat all her life except when we would take her out during the summer months and only when we could watch her - she could not have defended herself if it were needed.

Good care and being indoors is one of the reasons she lived so long but it just crushed me to have to have her put to sleep - cried much over that one. I have a 14 year old cat now that my wife got for me when we were dating so her age is also the number of years we've been married. I'm so afraid of loosing her but hoping that she will stay in good health - hope she will be with us 20+ years.

Again, my condolances Ross on this loss - hope in time you will be able to have another - they are such lovable animals.... cats are definately my favorite.

Oh, Ross, having to do this is so heart wrenching! A part of you dies with the passing of pets because they're your children. I'm so sorry. Like most others have said, you gave her the best home you could and didn't allow her suffer. May you be blessed in knowing you did what was right.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, I pick up the ashes at the vet and bring them to my church (Episcopal) to be blessed, then I send them to my former parish in Palm Desert, California to rest in the pet columbarium where I have purchased a number of spaces.
Currently, I have two dogs and my first cat resting there.

My heartfelt and deepest thanks to everyone for their kind words.
I can always count on my washing machine family.

I am going to get a new kitten soon but I want to find that special cat that picks me out. I will name her Anneliese after my old cat Lieselotte.

Very sorry! I have 2 cats. One six years old, the other five years old. I've become very attached to both of them. So I can only imagine how hard it must be.

I'm so sorry Ross. I still have my beloved Spock's ashes. They are going to the pet (can't spell it) at St. Margaret's in Little Rock when I can bear to part with him.

It is especially nice since my daughter's name is Margaret.

Yes we all become very close to our pets, I still sometimes think of the last dog that I had, that has been dead for over twenty years ago, Time is a healer.
