Well as if Mondays arent bad enough, I just got back from the vets and had to put my kitty (Dale) to sleep. He was 11 years old and we had him for 9 years. Last month he was diagnosed with diabetes and was put on meds, everything look pretty good for him and then, both his back legs went limp on him and he had to pull himself around with his front legs. He never made a peep but it just looked painful. Well last friday night he couldnt keep anything down and couldnt even get into his litter box, and that was so hard to see that I came to the painful realizeation that maybe it was time to let him go. I took him today and after they sedated him I felt something on his back hidquarters and asked the doc about it and he said it felt like atumor and that in about 8 days it would probably double in size and that we were doing the best thing for him (that helped alot) . The tumor was not there a month ago so we figured that diabetes was probably not what was wrong with him. Now comes the hard part, my son will be home at 4 pm (est) and I have to tell him. He was only 5 when we got him and this is going to break his heart. I hope he understands. I was not going to stay for the euthanasia part because I thought it would be to hard on me but then I thought about all the times he would snuggle on me when I was upset and decided that it was the least I coould do. I was able to bring him home and we are going to bury him tonight, please keep me in your prayers as I tell my son. Thanks :cry:
 
I will pray for you and your son at this hard time, I know the animals become a part of our family, and It is a very hard decision, God bless you and your son at this time.
 
So sorry to hear about your Kitty and I will absolutely pray for you. God bless and wishing you and your son the best through this.
 
I will keep you in my prayers. Losing a pet you have had that long is very difficult. I pray that you can remain strong and help your son understand. I know it will be hard the next few weeks to adjust to being without your cat. God Bless you.
 
I am so sorry to hear about your cat--losing a pet is so hard. Take comfort in the fact that you gave him a wonderful life and comforted him all the way to the end. I hope your son doesn't take it too hard, and I hope you are able to help him through the grieving process. Again, I am so sorry.
 
:cry: So sorry to hear about Dale. Pets are a very important part of a family and it is so hard when they are gone. Will keep your family in my prayers.
 
You will be in my prayers. Our animals bring us so much joy and we grieve when we loose them. God bless.
 
Thanks everyone for your kind words. It will take a while for the pain to go away but I wouldnt trade all this pain for not ever having him, it was worth it. My son is still takng it hard but I am going to let him grieve at his own pace, I hope that is the right thing to do. He was not just a cat, he was a friend . Thanks again all.
 
I am so sorry, I went through this last year. lost my cat due to heart attack at my feet on the bed, and then had to put Yikes, my english mastiff, down a couple of months later. he had cancer. It's really hard when you love them so much. It will be hard for your son, but remind him of the good times he had with kitty, and he isn't hurting anymore. :cry:
 
You are in my thoughts and prayers, it is hard to loose such a faithful friend. I tell you this because I lost my best friend 2 yrs ago, and it was my fault. I was walking my 2 dogs one night and while I was looking at one, an Akita came up to the other one and bit him, resulting in fatal injuries. Had I payed more attention, I could have stopped it. I think of him every day, and wish I had been more diligent in watching for unsafe conditions. He is at rest in my back yard, in his favorite spot. I miss him so

I know you may want to blame yourself, but it wasn't your fault. The person at fault is the owner of the Akita. How horrible to lose your friend is such a terrible way. So sorry for your loss.
