I had to put my cat down and I can't stop crying

Aw poor you my 1st cat died at aged 19/20 so I understand you.  It feels like your heart is wrenched out,  why is your cat failing? Is there anything you can do? Look after yourself and think of how good a life you gave this sweet creature.  At least you were kind enough to help this animal rather than leave it or neglect it like some rude cruel people do. 

I'm must be blind or thick or something but I misread your initial comments didn't realise you sadly had to have the cat euthanased,  but the rest was more important.  At least if it was in pain you were kind enough to put it out of pain. You've still done the best for it. 

I had to put my cat down today as well. He was almost 16 and had hyperthyroidism for over 1.5 years. I grew up with him, and even though I wasn't as close to him as my grandma (who stayed with him every single minute of the day and shared her food with him), I was the one who gave him pills and took him to the vet. And in his last moments we stayed with him, and told him how much we loved him. He ate his favorite food and purred for us. But we could't bear to see him in the condition he was in......oh God, it was terrible. He was completely blind, had multiple tumors in his lungs and liver and he couldn't walk with his back legs anymore. We had to put him down. And it's hard, because now the house is empty and silent. But I know that he lives a happy life in our home and he was loved. He died surrounded by love. I don't regret the decision of putting him down, because I know I ended his suffering. I know it's extremely hard

Don’t be sad...

Hi Had my Gorgeous cat Lennie for over 8 years and had to have him put to sleep today as was diagnosed on Monday with cancer of the Colon. I got to spend 3 days with him but now he is gone. I'm devastated and can't stop crying. Can't imagine my life now without him.x

I want to type out a super long reply to this, but all I will say is this: I had to have my beautiful little best friend, Gracie, put to sleep 3 days ago now. She was about 17 years old and she was with me for around 13 of those years. 13 beautiful years. And now, she is gone and I do not have the words to describe my grief. She was not a pet. She was my little furry best friend, and a piece of my heart is gone forever with her not here anymore. I miss her so, so much. It is tough to type through the tears, but I just wanted to say... I understand. I miss her so much.

hi ken, what do you have to feel guilty about? you looked after that cat since he was 8 weeks old and it sounds like you did a great job! you think how much you've cared for that cat.vi know you'll feel awful for the fact the cat has gone but you should have a little bit of pride that you cared for that cat so well. you didn't leave the animal in pain in the end. in time this will ease.....

oh my goodness i had to put my 14 year old cat down on Monday and I am also devastated and feel incredibly guilty. I know it was coming but did not realize Monday was the day. I am lost without her. I am so sorry you are also going through this.
