My Beloved Chestnut, Euthanization Options

[ccheyssial]

I lost my beloved cat Chestnut today. He had been diagnosed with cancer in March and we fought the good fight, but the cancer won. I had to have hime euthanized today. I cannot describe adequately the intensity of the pain I am feeling right now. As I write the tears are streaming down my face and I feel a hole in my heart. This loss is significant for me. Chestnut came to me through a co-worker in March 1995. He was a feral kitten found under a bush in the park. He was the best cat. He was funny, silly, affectionate, and sooo beautiful. He went from a tiny red and white fluff ball and grew into a gorgeous 17 pound boy. His eyes were Chestnut in color. I feel like I can never love a cat again the way I loved him. I have had many cats, but Chestnut was like no other and there will never be another one like him.

I am so sorry that you have lost Chestnut.
Cancer is just horrible, I lost a beloved cat to the dreaded desease in January so I know how you are feeling.
You have just made one of the most difficult decisions we have all had to make, but we make it because we love our pets and dont want them to suffer any more and its the final gift and token of our love we can give them.
Its six months since I had to let my cat go to his rest but I miss him everyday and the tears still flow.
My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
