Author Topic: Just had to put down my second cat in 8 days.  (Read 1541 times)

I'm sorry and I know nobody cares, but I need somebody to talk to. I'm a mess right now and I don't know what to do. Last week on Tuesday I had to put down Sassy. She had be kind of sick for a while, but it go to the point where she wouldn't even get up to go to the cat box. She was more my sister's cat, so it was her decision, but it was the best for Sassy. Not eating and peeing on yourself is no life.

Then today, we had to do the same with her brother, Leroy. Leroy was my best friend in the world. It was a similar story for him. He started losing weight over the course of about a month, and then probably with the shock of losing his sister, he stopped eating completely. We tried taking him to the vet on Saturday to get him on a high calorie diet to put on weight, but it was no use. He couldn't even stand up because he was so weak, so we had to do it. Carrying him in to the vet's office was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I'll just have to take comfort in the fact that he's no longer suffering.

I'm going to miss him climbing into my lap while I drink my morning coffee. I'm going to miss to way he meowed at me when I was opening a can of tuna. I'm going to miss the way he hugged my face when I held him. I'm going to miss the way he looked at me when he laid on my chest when I was falling asleep. I miss you, buddy.

RIP Sassy and Leroy, 1998-2014

that's horrible, I hope you feel better.

my condolences, i hope you feel better soon.

11/10 would cry again

(no sarcasm)

that's terrible. i had to put down my cat as well. she'd gotten some sort of a yeast infection and was swollen like a balloon. we took her to the vet to drain her and spay her, and it caused a heart murmor. she couldn't even walk, there were blood clots in her legs. had to go to the vet a second time to have her put down.
i'm sorry to hear about your cats, man.

Thanks for the kind words you guys.

While I was sitting in the waiting room at the vet, a complete stranger came over and rubbed my back and gave me a hug. She talked with me about Leroy and told me about her cats, and it really made me feel better to have someone there to talk to.

Yeah. Through common suffering do we find solace.
I remember my cat's brother had to be put down because he was pissing blood and in a ton of pain and they couldn't really help him.

damn man, my condolences too.

my cat's getting pretty old; i had him since 5th grade. he might die before i go to college or during college :\

I lost the dog I grew up with in February 2013. Probably the hardest I cried ever.

I had to put down my oldest cat a month or 2 ago. At least he doesn't have to suffer anymore. I hope you feel better soon...  :panda:

It's beautiful that we establish such love with animals. The bond doesn't break with their death; love persists. I still miss my cat, lost him four years ago. I'm always reminded when I see another cat. I'm sorry Dkamm.

I have a dog named Max and I'm 160 miles away from him right now. Kinda homesick because he's not with me.
