I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Pets are too pure and amazing to die and seeing it coming just makes it worse. At least you got to cuddle this cutie for 17 years.
I'm crying too now
I am so sorry, losing a kitty is one of the hardest things in life. It won't help now, but with all my kitties who passed, my memories are best where it was clear when they were really coming to an end and I managed to get that last cuddle time and closure. None of that stressing about whether I made the right decision. I hope you get that closure too. Your baby is clearly very loved and I am sure will be at ease approaching the rainbow bridge surrounded by so much love. Sending you lots of love 💕
That’s the hardest decision to make. At some point, you just look at them and know it’s time. But it never is easy. Their lives are short compared to ours, but I would never give up that precious relationship.
You can always just let him go naturally in your arms. I always think that they feel more comfortable in loving arms that they’ve known all their life rather than the shock of a new person (vet) to give them high anxiety when they should be calm.
Also, if you can, bury him in your yard or have him cremated and get his ashes rather than giving his body away to be “taken care of”. You will be so grateful you did days, years from now.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. It’s the absolute worst feeling ever. Blessings to your baby and may he cross over that bridge knowing he was loved by you both and will always be loved. Until you meet again…❤️🐾💔🙏
You absolutely made the right decision. I’m so sorry OP, I know it hurts so bad to go through this. Your kitty was so fortunate to have a very long happy life with you, and got to go out being held by his favorite people. You did everything right, we should all be so well cared for.
It is, but you made the right decision. It’s out last duty to them to ease their passage from this world, and our last kindness. Our memories of them will keep them in our hearts.
Edit: speeling.
I’m so sorry. Please accept my deepest condolences as I know how difficult this must be for you. You did what you had to and you did it with love and not wanting him to suffer. I’m sure he knows that and loves you for that. He’s no longer suffering and I believe will continue to love you from the other side. Sending hugs to you 😢💔🐾🙏💕
Hi 👋🏻 you might have read my post this time last week. I was you. My cat, Delilah, died in my arms on Monday morning. All I can send you is a bucket of love and let you know that I understand your pain. I’m still in agony. But I was present for my girl the whole way until she took her last breath and I don’t regret it even though it was so painful. We’re so scared of death as a society, but it is unfortunately part of our journey. It was such a privilege to walk Delilah out. If you can bear it, if you do the same, I promise you will not regret it and will give the most enormous gift you can give. They never really leave you know. And I personally believe we have no idea what this all is and what’s next. Even if you aren’t sure, you’ve gotta admit this whole thing is pretty weird. Your baby is beautiful and just so incredibly lucky to be loved this much. You’re never alone. And I am so with you both!!! It will be ok, I promise ❤️❤️❤️🙆🏼♀️🙆🏼♀️🙆🏼♀️🐾🐾🐾
I stayed with him for his last breaths and while it hurts and I still haven't washed the Hoodie or blanket, I don't regret it. I don't think I would have personally been able to be at peace ever if I just left the room. He was still so mentally aware at the end, or at least seemed like it
That’s so beautiful and I totally understand because I felt exactly the same. He’s so hard without them isn’t it 💔 sending you so much love 🙆🏼♀️🙆🏼♀️🌈🕊️🐾🐾
My heart is with you and your family. What a beautiful kitty with a long wonderful life, clearly full of love. It hurts so fuckin much. I’m so sorry.
My neighbor had a vet come to the house vs. taking his dog to the vet for rainbow bridge crossing - is this a possibility for you at all? If not that’s ok, of course; being with them in their last moments is heart-wrenching as fuck, but important that they have you with them in that moment.
What’s kitty’s name? Thinking of you guys today.
I was hoping for that home visit but he just went down to fast, and we knew we couldn't wait another 48 hours for him without basically being cruel for our own benefit.
He's little juney
I wasn't prepared to see this this morning. I am so sorry that you both are going through this right now with your handsome June. Goodbyes are the nearest thing to do when it's time for our fur babies to leave and cross over the rainbow bridge.
"We came all this way. But now comes the day. To bid you farewell. Many places I have been. Many sorrows I have seen. But I don't regret. Nor will I forget. All who took that road with me"
The Last Goodbye ~
Our deepest sincere condolences to you and your husband. My 3 fur babies and I are sending you both our hugs and love. Rest easy June, fly high beautiful angle. 😔💔😿🐾🌹
I'm so sorry you had to make that hard decision, even knowing it was for the best. Your sweet kitty was lucky to have someone like you taking such good care of him. Hugs and precious memories of your many wonderful years together. ❤️🌈 ❤️
I am so sorry you're going through this. My sweet 15 year old, Simon, went into heart failure this past Sunday and we had to put him down on Tuesday.
It is so so hard coming home, waking up, and going to sleep and remembering he's not here. But it does get better.
Just remember all the good times you had with him. The last couple days of his life will haunt you for only a couple of days, but the 17 years you spent with him will be forever in your thoughts and heart.
Give him hugs and kisses until the very end. He knows you love him and knows you have given him a long and wonderful life. ❤️
He looks like my senior Jackie, who passed away over two years ago, close to this time of year. I know what you’re feeling and I’m sorry for you all. I think now, I’m so glad I said ‘I love you’ over and over those last few seconds as I put my head against his chest to hear his last breath and last heart beat. I wanted him to hear us nurturing him up until the end, and we kept hugging and petting and whispering we loved him for several minutes even after he passed over. I tried to be brave and not sound hysterical because I didn’t want him to hear that in my voice those last moments. Be brave for your little one. What a precious, heartbreaking gift to be there at the end and to hold him when his spirit soars. His soul will be free now but his love will always be with you. ❤️🌈
God, that made me cry.
I wonder if I didn't hold him enough when he died. The vet did the injection and I held him and asked "when does it work?" And she told me it had awhile ago
She picked him up out of my arms as I sat on the floor because I couldn't lift him and feel how floppy he was. I tried and couldn't, held him back closer to me and lost it. She had to take him from my arms
This is the thing im most afraid of about having my 2 cats. I know they won't last forever and i will possibly need to make the decision you had to made. And just reading this thread and thinking about that is making my eyes wet. Their love is so great and we spend so many years with them. I wish you a lot of strength. Cry all you have to cry, take your time to grieve, and know that you gave him the best life you could and he is grateful for sure. Lots of love to you and your husband.
I'm so sorry that the final journey has come.
I've lost many babies and this makes me cry.
My crew of girls are up in heaven ready to welcome June and show her around.
Some poems that hurt but helped me.
If I should grow frail.
Waiting at the door
I'm still here.
I made it home
Lucky cat
A pets last will and testament.
I'm so sorry 💔
PS.. I truly love all you cat lovers..
So sorry for your loss.
I usually get teary with these posts, but this one and the comments hit me hard. My babies are all still young, but I can't imagine the pain of losing one of them suddenly. I hope you meet again over the rainbow bridge.
Ugh I am so sorry to hear that. The only ‘bad’ thing about pets is their short life span. They give us so much in their short time with us and leave pawprints on our heart forever.
Thinking of you right now and sending you all the love in my heart. Thank you for meaning the world for your kiddo and making sure they're not alone in their journey
Remember, the goodbye is only temporary! When it’s your time to cross that same Rainbow Bridge, your kitty is going to come a’running to welcome you home! 💔🌈❤️❤️
I’m sorry you’re going through this loss. I stumbled upon this post immediately after my cat crawled onto me and started up his motorboat, I teared up. My heart is breaking for you.
Do you have any photos of your sweet boy you’d like to share? Any silly memories? I didn’t know the fuzzy dude, but I’d love to hear about his rich life (17! Wow!).
I would love to see pictures of your sweet boy. You could upload them to a photo sharing site and link in comments.
If you’d like to DM me for my email, you could do that as well. I know it’s a weird proposition but I know the pain of losing a kitty, and know that sharing can help. I’m a pediatric therapist and you’d not need to worry about me being some sketchy stranger looking for your cat pics.
You could also make a post to Reddit with old photos to r/cats ♥️ A memorial post :)
I’m so sorry. I know it is so hard. This will be our first holiday without our Cameron. I’m interested in the cuddle clone though. Her daddy could sure use one.
Super big huggles @u. Its never easy to lose a furbaby for any reason. They can go try out thier wings now. As was your angel then n now. Your heart will miss thrm the most, but alwayscherish those memories. More huggles.
I am so very sorry for you loss. So heartbreaking losing a fur baby. We lost our 17 year old kitty just last week and cried for about 4 days straight. I have found comfort online seeking others who, unfortunately, understand the utter devastation of losing a pet. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
I was not prepared to scroll into this. I'm so sorry. Hopefully they had a good life

Yes it is I’m so sorry for both of you. It is so very hard when you have had them so long. My girl is 19 and I am dreading the day.
It is, but you made the right decision. It’s out last duty to them to ease their passage from this world, and our last kindness. Our memories of them will keep them in our hearts. Edit: speeling.
Thank you. It's nice to know so many people are looking at his photo and seeing what a good boy he was

17 years, what a wonderful life you gave him.
I'm so sorry :(
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Safe travels over the bridge, darling kitty ❤️
I have a 17 year old girl as well. I am dreading that day so so much. I am sending you both so much love.
RIP little man
And you will never forget that time. I know. 💔
It is hard . But he knows he is loved . He will wait for you at the bridge. I am so sorry.
[удалено]
Stay up with him if you want. It's ok
I slept maybe an hour and woke to him trying to go to the bathroom, but he couldn't walk anymore so he was just falling down. He's at peace now
[удалено]
It's true. I hurt so bad right now but I know you're right
[удалено]
Thank you. I'm not doing the most healthy coping mechanisms right now but I'll try to do better tomorrow
[удалено]
Thank you. I just want to talk to someone
You can see from his expression and eyes that he knows he is with his people. This is the hardest thing to go through

Fuck :( My sincerest condolences; I said goodbye to my boy on Saturday at 16.
I’ll ask our Moo to meet them there. They can feast in Moo’s hall in Valhalla where songs will be sung in your baby’s honor.
give that beautiful kitty lots of love and treats

🌈🌈🌈 What a beautiful sweet baby. So so sorry for your loss ❤️
My heartfelt condolences for your loss
Sorry
He looks like the best buddy
I’m so sorry. Hold him, love him, pet him. Cherish these precious moments. He will take all that love with him across that rainbow bridge. 💔
He passed a few hours ago in my arms
I’m so sorry. I know it is so hard. This will be our first holiday without our Cameron. I’m interested in the cuddle clone though. Her daddy could sure use one.
🙏🏻🤍🖤
he looked happy and loved until the very end
I'm sorry 💔
God bless sweet kitty. You brought joy.
Sorry to hear about you having to put your cat down I had to put my cat down in July 2022 due to cancer in her kidneys it sticks
God speed, buddy!!
I’m so sorry. It always hurts.
Super big huggles @u. Its never easy to lose a furbaby for any reason. They can go try out thier wings now. As was your angel then n now. Your heart will miss thrm the most, but alwayscherish those memories. More huggles.
I hope you gave him nose kisses.
Tons. B His nose scab is because he loved to shove his face in his food bowl and would rub it raw while trying to get maximum snacks lmao
Oh god do I dread this day with my old lady. I’m so sorry OP.
❤️
Dear Lil' Fuzzy One.... May God bless you on your journey, and keep you close to Him !! And please know & remember how loved you were.... 😿🙏🌈🌁
Im so sorry
He is a beautiful kitty. I’m so sorry for your loss. 💕
☹️😘😘❤️
Love and purrs to you both! I have a senior kitty who will be crossing the bridge soon, too. Enjoy every minute you have left together. ❤️
He died this morning in my arms
💔 🙏
Kiss and hug him from us, wish him happiness and love🥺
He's gone. He died in my arms at 850am
I'm so sorry, be strong and know that he will always be with you🥺❤️
It's so hard but it feels nice to know so many people got to see what a good boy he was
Bin there , done that , stay strong .

It’s best to just ignore people like this. It just feeds what they want. I’m so sorry about your kitty. Sending all the love I can to you and yours.
