  1. Thank you for your kind words. Today is much harder than yesterday. Yesteday was shock, today is reality with lots of questions and "what ifs". I feel so guilty now that I didn't help him to pass by having the vet do it on Friday. I was selfish & hoping for a miracle. I know they say putting them to sleep is the last act of kindness we can do for our pets & now I feel I didn't treat him very kind. I hope he knows how much he was loved and we were just hoping that in a few days he would feel better & we would have just a bit more time. My faith is being so tested today. Is there a "pet heaven, rainbow bridge"? Or do they just go away...I just don't know right now.
  2. We thought maybe the vet could buy us more time but yesterday afternoon Rudy took a turn for the worse and he passed while lying on his favorite blanket with my husband and I holding him, talking to him, and petting him. I called the vet but she didn't get here in time. I am just broken. He has had health issues for ten years but I always nursed him back to health and he was such a happy cat. We have no children and my husband travels for work so when he goes back on the road tomorrow my house and my life will be empty. It hurts so bad.
  3. The vet agreed to try a few things to make Rudy feel better and help him eat, which he won't. I am just prolonging this, seflishly, because I don't want to let him go. This is so hard.
  4. I am new to this site. My vet will be here in an hour, my 19.5 year old orange tabby is ill with what they believe is lymphoma. I thought when I made the appt this morning, I had made my decision. But find as the time is drawing near for her to arrive, I am rethinking. I know I am being selfish. I have had him since the day he was born. Only 6 months ago I had to have my horse put down. I am 53 years old and the horse was the first anilmal in my entire life to put down and now my cat. Why can't they just go on their own? I have cried for days. He just looks up at me and says Mom, I'm so hungry but I can't eat. THank you all for listening. Denise
