Goodbye To Munchkin Options

[featherz]

I just put my kitty munchkin to sleep.. I feel guilty (doesn't everyone?) because she was still eating and alert, but I could tell the end was approaching. She had multiple medical problems and has been incontinent for about 5 years and wore a diaper. She was emaciated and had eye ulcers that medication were not helping. Everyday I woke up and thought that that this cat is NOT enjoying life except for mealtime.. And she was getting worse although her appet*ite was still hanging in there.

I discussed it with my husband and we decided to let her go. The euthanasia was very very well done, she just went to sleep on her favorite blankie in a nice room with murals, not on a cold exam table. I still feel awful, but I didn't want her to die in agony like another of our cats did when we waited too long out of hope she'd improve.

/sniff.. Goodbye little kitty, we miss you already..

What's even worse is I have another cat that may need to be PTS soon, and I had one also posted on here from last year that had a bad end from kidney failure and CHF. Bad things come in threes. I think it's because these three were very close in age (all around 13-14). I do everything I'm supposed to, but I don't get the luxury of a 20+ year old kitty. My sister in law hardly ever sees her cat and lets it run around outside and her kitty made it to 20. /sigh.

Good thing I have a bouncy kitten in the house as well..

That's a gorgeous picture, Jon.
