Had to get my cat put down today

[Jarlaxle]

Bummer. I lost my St. Bernard in January...I dread the day I lose any of my 3 cats.

Ugggh, just lived through this today. Not something that I want to ever have to do again. Horrible and sad. I feel worse now than I did before.

So sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry we just had this with a dog. It takes a great deal of time.

The first time I had to do this was with my big red cat, a Maine Coon mix who'd shared my life for more than 16 years. As the doctor very gently came to give him that last shot, he turned his big shaggy head and growled. At her. Courage and gall to the last. His ashes are up in the Colorado mountains; I figured he'd always thought he should have been a bobcat.

I came home that evening and couldn't relax. The other cat hustled out and leaped into my lap, like "I'm the star now!!" It helped. But I miss the big red guy still.

When the vet was giving my old cat Spuds the shot, Spuds looked at me, gave me a squint, and one last rub on my hand before he passed away. Still gives me tears when I remember that.

Hang in there buddy.

I had to put my boyhood friend down a while ago. He was the greatest dog ever, I cried when he went. But it was time.
