My Cat

Janet · #1 02-02-2005, 03:03 PM

I haven't been around much here for awhile. I feel I have failed as a moderator.

My new job takes up alot of time.
I have been really sick with a flu that wouldn't go away.

But then the worst happened.

I had to put my cat down. BooBoo was around 20 years old. She got too skinny and stopped eating...it was horrible. I can finally type without crying but it's hard. I had her since i was 7 years old. My whole life.

I know there are plenty of cat lovers. Kiss and hug your cat today.

Oh man... I'm so, so sorry!

I lost my cat Pearl over the summer, so I can relate. She was about 15. She was real sick, and she stopped eating, etc. It was awful. I miss her to this day.

My deepest sympathies to you. [hugs]<333

I'm sooo sorry.

20 years, that's a very full life for a cat; I'm glad you got to share your love with her for so long.
Thanks for reminding me how much i love them.

I'm so sorry for your loss of BooBoo, Janet. I always pray that Mufy will live at least 20 years, I'm glad your cat was around that "long", but it's never long enough, is it? I'm sorry you're feeling so badly right now but the pain will subside. Just go easy on yourself and do nice things for yourself right now while you grieve. I will give my Mufy an extra smooch, pat, and hug today which will equal like a million for this week.

He is only 1 1/2 but I still think about the fact that I will lose hime someday and dread it. I hope your flu lets up soon.

Deepest sympathies, Janet. I'm going to find my two kitties right now to give 'em some lovin'.

It is just an awful feeling - but rest in the knowledge that you did the right thing - animals just cannot understand the pain and suffering associated with death and illness. It still hurts though - so HUGS~~~~~~~~

I put my beloved Maggie the Moo Cow down in May. Interestingly, I found out her cancer had returned 15 minutes prior to picking up gldstwmn at the MARTA station - I was a bit of a mess. But, at least gldstwmn got to meet her - I put her down three days later. I drove to every errand I thought I had to do on the way there partially to delay it and partially because I KNEW I could not do anything remotely approaching being in public for the next several days.

Janet am so sorry.

Oh, honey- it's so sad.

I have had to put down two of my three cats over the last year....

"Ev'rytime we say goodbye-
I die... a little....
Ev'rytime we say goodbye,
I wonder why... a little.....

Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know...
Think so little of me-
They allow you to go....."

I cried when one of the 5 metalhead kittens passed away, Fortunately the other 4 (Pip, Token, Tweak & Re-run) have already completed their feline terrorist lessons and go on daily "seek and destroy" missions around the house...

The adult cats don't seem amused whatsoever with the motley crew of kittens
