Hi

Thats awful, I have two cats and a dog they are family. But deep down you know that its the right decision that you make and the better for the cat. I think Holly should just remember the best part she had with you not the awful chemo in her body.

I wish you all the strenght and courage in this difficult time.
Big hug

Badri

I'm so sorry to hear that. One of my cats was hit by a car and died a couple of years ago (the sister of the 2 tom cats I have now), and I was absolutely distraught - I had half a day off work too. I know how terrible it feels.

Hope you're okay. Thoughts are with you.

What heart-breaking news for you, sending all my love.

I have no idea what I would do if it was my baby (tabby cat), you can't help but love them to bits can you, they are much part of your life.

Big hugs

Just to let you know I've had a phone call from the vet this afternoon, he's got terminal cancer in his stomach and although it can be treated with chemotherapy that only adds a few months, so dont want to put him through it.

He can have steroids which will help him feel better but he hasnt got long.

I am so upset, dont know what to do with myself.
Sorry to hear about your cat Bridie - I tried to send you karma but I have to spread myself around first

I just take comfort in the fact that at least we know now before we (hopefully!) make the move to Oz as I'd have felt so guilty if we'd put him through the flight and quarantine only to discover he was so ill.
So sorry to hear your sad news. But you know you have made the right decision although that will be of little comfort at the moment. Only a true animal lover will understand what you are going through.

Stay strong.

So sorry to hear your news. Cats are the best of friends, their little head- butts, squeaks to say hello, and the constant pin pricking of claws on your legs when you are really comfortable. I really wish you happiness for the next few days / weeks whilst you remember the fun you and Holly shared. Remember the rushing around after her, trying to catch the mouse she is toying with, or cleaning up the mess after the wet cat arrives on the clean floor

She would thank you for the hours of fun you gave to her and also for not adding pain to her life with endless trips to the vets for more treatment. I have always believed that pets tell you when they have had enough and you are doing the right thing.

Take care and ignore any comments from those that do not have pets, as they have no idea how close you get to them.

Sending you K.

Bridie

As a cat owner and a vet nurse, all I can say to you is hold him tight, do what your instincts are telling you and let him go.

Pet ownership is wonderful, painful and sometimes hard. To get a cat to love you is an honour and a privilege.

Your cat knows the pain he is in, you know the pain you are feeling at the thought of him going.

The words I said to my little cat Juniper when she died a year ago and I think reflect the feelings of every cat owner, were;

Thank you for being my cat.


Be brave

Samantha
