Sad day

[Skink]

I had to wait a holiday when my cat went,I knew he was suffering and the only other place to take him was the emergency room,but I was afraid if I took him there he would just be put down... I went the first thing to the vet the following day and it was kidney failure... He had to be put down anyway,so I felt guilty as shit... BTW I had that cat for nine years...

What it all boils down to is you made it's life a good one and death is as natural as life itself...

i had a pet dog for around 14 years. death is unavoidable. i dont think ill ever own a pet again.

emkid420 I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I found out this past March how hard it is to lose a pet when I had to have my cat, Tahina Hobbeson put to sleep. I had her since 1989 when I was 20 years old and she was my best friend. It still hurts to this day to think that she is no longer with me.
The day my friend went away, one of my human friends e-mailed me the following link:

and when I clicked it, and saw it, I cried my eyes out like a baby for hours, but when I was done I felt better. I hope you check it out.

You are the second person this month I have heard from on this board who lost a kitty. I sent them the same link and was told it was appreciated. I hope you too appreciate this little bit of hope I can offer.

Best of luck - coping with this can be difficult.

smoke a big fatty tonight in honor of your kitty's life!!

I set up a place for my Emerson at the Rainbow bridge- it always makes me cry when I go to it, but the proceeds go to help other animals, which makes me feel better. I like to think they are all in "dog and cat Mind" somewhere, and they feel good because they had lovely lives with good people.

I came home to my pitbull killing my puppy, lil' buddy. Along with my 16 year old cat, my three cats, and two other dogs. I feel your pain.

So sorry to hear about your kitty, Emkid. That's a huge loss, I know. My heart goes out to you. Much love and condolences from the pets in the Byrd household: Daisy, Lily, Buddy and Jay.

yeah man, a couple years back my 18 year old cat (which i had known since birth) just started bleeding everywhere, we had to put her to sleep, it was so sad.

thanks guys for all that, really appreciated.

Recently my family got a new baby kitten. It is very cute. I love him!

aw losing an animal is one of the worst feelings.. especially since they become like family so quickly.

i hope your new kitten helps to cheer you up some ;]

There are so many animals that need a home,,,the best thig to do is get another pet,,,that is how I got the two I have... new pets seem to quickly fill the void,,,for me anyway...

Yes, my cat who was 7 years old died right in front of me also and I felt helpless, but I knew he was sick (enlarged heart). The sad thing is, he had a vet appointment an hour before he died but we moved it to the next day because my sister had a basketball game. I doubt we could have saved him though, they would have just put him to sleep instead of letting him suffer.
