My Boy Is Gone Options

[catlover2]

Hi all,
I posted here last week because my beloved cat Max was sick and needing a high level of care so I found another home for him where he would get the care he neded. Well, I couldn't stand it, I had to go and get him just a few days later. He was still so sick after much debate and talking with several vets, I decided to do the humane thing and end his pain but putting him down. I hated doing it, he was only 8 and such a great cat. I was at peace the first night because I wasn't worried about him anymore...but now it is sinking in that my kitty won't ever be back. We lost our dog a few years ago ( a loving, sweet lab named Sadie). I miss her everday still and know I will miss Max for the rest of my life. I liked the poem somebody posted "just a dog"....I got a lot of that...he's only a cat, you will go broke,etc... but in the end although maybe with intensive treatment and trips daily to the vet, he may have gotten better..but I just didn't see it happening, he was getting worse not better and I just couldn't let him feel so lousy.
thanks for listening, this is tough. I know only animal lovers understand-

You had a very tough and agonizing decision to make. It was out of your love for Max that you made the choice to end his misery and I know he loved you for it. Our loved furry kids know how much we love them and trust that whatever decisons we make, we make them out of love.

All of us have asked ourselves when our loved one dies if there was something else we could have done or should have done. We miss having them around us so much and life seems empty when they pass on and we cannot physically touch them or make anymore decisions on how they are cared for.

Max is painfree now and you have all the happy memories you and he built together. Those joyous memories will remain in your heart and mind forever and nobody can ever take them away from you.


Peace, love, and comfort are sent from my heart to yours.
