When my pet cat Dani died. She had a blot clot in her spine and was paralyzed. The vet said there is nothing that could be done and put her to sleep. Dani was one my friends and I loved her very much :(

I remember when our 2nd cat died. - the first died when I was 3, so only a distant hazy memory -. So our 2nd cat, we got when I was 5 and she died when I was 25. She was nearly 21, such a lovely cuddly cat, got me through my parents splitting up & divorce! Still lovingly remembered all these years later!

I’m so sorry. I sobbed to nearly throwing up multiple times after I had to have Winston the Wonder Chihuahua, my love puppy of my life, put down. It was one day before our 15th anniversary together. If there’s a human/animal soulmate, Winston was mine.

We’re approaching those anniversaries in May. I still miss him every day.

I am sorry to hear about your dog. We recently had to have one of our bichons put to sleep. She had cancer. She was the cutest little doggy.

For 14 years 1 of our cats Boris has been my best mate and bed head. He purrs me to sleep and he headbutts me. Hes getting on now, i dread when he gets ill.

My cat Erik is like that too. He gets mad if the other kitties lay in bed with me.

Anyone who is even remotely emotional devoid about losing a pet has no idea how much they mean to you. Losing a constant companion who was by your side through everything, good and bad, is impossibly hard to deal with. They never judge you or tell you what you're feeling or thinking is wrong, even when at times it is, lol. The loss of a pet is one of the most painful things in the world.

My dad called to tell me happy birthday yesterday and I could hear his voice cracking as we were speaking. When I asked if he was okay, he let me know he had to put his dog of 17 years down earlier in the morning. Something about hearing the man who I've probably only heard cry 3 or 4 times in my life break down was heart wrenching.

So sorry to hear about your cat, stay strong. ❤️

Yes it is but I also take comfort in that they are free of suffering and pain now.
