Hi everyone,
I find myself in the awful place of having to put my sweet cat Kip down today. He's been sick for the past couple of weeks and after countless vet visits, tests and prayers we were told yesterday that he has cancer. The pain I feel is insurmountable. He's only 10 years old and I really thought we had many years left together. What makes this worse is that back in January we had to put down my husbands cat Pedro. We are still dealing with the pain of that loss and here we are again. Kip means the world to me and I feel like I've let him down. I know that I've spared no expense but it still feels like maybe I could have done more.
This will be the 3rd pet that I've put down and it doesn't get any easier.
I'm trying very hard to concentrate on all the great memories and love he's brought into my life but I can't get past this stabbing feeling I have in my heart. 2 cats in less than a year..not to mention the loss of my estranged father...feels too much to bare.
I feel so grateful for my loving and supportive family and friends..and my poor sweet dog Rico..who has had to listen to my endless crying...
I just want the hurt to stop...
