Goodbye

[Vicky99]

I'm really sorry. Your post actually made me cry - I know how hard it is to make that decision but sometimes it really is the best thing you can do. I miss my cats so badly.

Vicky.

Sorry for your loss, she was a very beautiful cat, and had obviously lived a long and happy life.

RIP Gennie

I am sorry for your loss, and if it's any small comfort or consolation, I know exactly what you went through. I lost my Toby Ann in March. She was 16 1/2. It was kidney failure. Fwiw, I understand this is how most older cats meet their end.

Toby quickly began losing weight. The doc suspected CRF (Chronic Renal Failure). We tried some meds, but they were of little use. Finally she became so weak and dehydrated from not eating and drinking that I made the appointment. I did most of my crying before hand, cuddling her at home and knowing this was it.

The veterinary staff was so kind and compassionate.

I got a copy of Rainbow Bridge from someone, and made the mistake of reading it at work. I was a mess. It's still hard for me to deal with... she was my baby and my Princess. But I do believe one day we'll all be together again. But for now, they're playing and doing kooky cat things like they used to, somewhere else.

Sorry to hear about your loss mate. I still miss my old boy Sam and think about him constantly and yeah, it still brings a tear to my eye at times but the hurt does ease with time and I am just glad he isn't suffering any more, as much as I miss him. Chin up mate, 19 is a very impressive age for a cat and she would have known how much you loved and cared for her. In the end your compassion eased her suffering and that is something she would no doubt apreciate, however hard it is on you right now.

For now, to ease the hurt the best advice I can give is to remember the good times and honour her life in that way. The good memories will no doubt bring a tear to your eye but they will also bring a smile to your face and that is the best way to morn a passing as well as give meaning to the journey of their life by rememberance of great times past rather than the inevidable closure of the journey.

So sorry about your loss, Gennie was beautiful. It has to be the hardest thing to finally make the decision to let them go- they just absolutely become part of the family! Rest In Peace sweet Gennie
