Can't Stand The Pain, Give the cat back to God Options

[Major Catastroph...]

I am faced with the decision to put my cat to sleep. I have tried perscriptions to stop him from urinating in the house but it is at its worst He is wrecking our house.The humane society won't take him because of his "problem" I talked to the director moments ago and he said putting him down is the most humane thing to do. All I can do is CRY & CRY & & CRY.......I am ANGRY my wife brought him home in the first place. I am ANGRY at the cat for making me go thru this intense pain I don't want to go thru. I am deeply, deeply SADDENED that I will never see my freind again. I must make the appointment to get this unpleasantry done tommorrow when I come home from work in the morning. I feel sick to my stomach and I feel stupid because of the intense greif I feel now. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME!!!!! It's only a cat.....but it isn't...it's my cat and I love him and I would just like to stop crying..........

Everyone here will tell you that crying is a VERY NORMAL EMOTION.......It is a way to start "feeling better", because what you are going through right now if VERY, VERY SAD & TRAUMATIC!!

How old is your very special furbaby?? How long has he been in your life?? Does the veterinarian know why he is urinating in the house?? ? physical problem or behavioral?

I worked in the medical field years ago, and I know that from roughly the late 80's to early 90's, they were able to use a prescription drug called "DDAVP", for young boys who "wet the bed", with wonderful results.
I don't know if this drug is still used, and/or if it's still used to treat urinating problems---I just wanted to mention it in case it hasn't been thought about.

I know you said that your cat was on a precription, and it hasn't seemed to be helping. I am sincerely sorry about that!!

In our case, our beloved Ernestine had significant kidney disease (along with 2 other problems), and she did not respond AT ALL to the treatment that cats with CRF are usually given. So, on 2/7/2004, we had to have her put to sleep.

I'm sure the vet has spoken to you and your wife about options (if there are any, at all), that might be available to your cat....??? And, I am very, very sorry that the medication has not worked.

I want to say that, "Of COURSE YOU LOVE YOUR CAT...", and "THE TEARS THAT YOU ARE CRYING, ARE TEARS THAT WILL HELP TO HEAL YOU ---- ALL IN TIME"..

I can honestly understand how you are feeling -- when you mentioned your "sick stomach"... It hurts & it hurts like HELL!!!

He's more than "a cat"; he's your friend!!! And, he always will be!! No matter what the decision has to be, YOUR FRIEND KNOWS THAT YOU LOVE HIM WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART!!!!!!

Please let us know how you you are doing -- we all care.

Peace to you,

Denise
