One of our kitties is headed toward her great reward....

[WCGreen]

14 years old, was my MIL's and we took her in after going the nursing home beckoned...

Lovable cat that suddenly had to put up with 4 much younger kitties...

They battled and fought and MrsWCGreen made her the special cat sdo she was protected and acted like it...

Yesterday, she stopped eating. She is still drinking but her breathing has gotten shallow. She isn't in any pain her body is shutting down and it's her time...

I piled up a whole mess of our sox's around her and even found a couple of Betty's so she could feel us all around her.

She is at peace.

Still it is sad to loose a pet you've known for 14 years.

I am crying now...

[GoCubsGo]

1. I'm sorry

Big hug.

I lost my almost-14-year-old kitty four years ago yesterday. I still miss her badly.

[ThomCat]

2. I'm very sorry.

:(

Have you spoken to a vet in case there is something going on that isn't really a terminal problem?

If it is terminal, I hope she goes peacefully and without any pain.

[WCGreen]

4. I am going to take her to the vet tomorrow morning....

This all came on late last night and I thought she was getting better.

I'm going first thing in the AM...

On Edit...

I'm not holding out that much hope.

I will bring her home to die in peace...

[HopeHoops]

3. I've had two make it to 15 years. My current boy is 12 1/2 and showing his age.

He's also always been fat and lazy. Sweet thing, but food is his main concern.

5. I'm so sorry...it's always heart-breaking...

6. I am very sorry for your sorrow and your loss.

Some say our pets are only that, a pet, but most of us take them into our hearts and make them a part of our lives and families. And when something happens to this member of our family it pains us almost/just as much as it would if they were human.

7. Sorry..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I'm so sorry to hear this...

She will pass peacefully, and without pain, I hope...

Hugs to you for taking such good care of her, for giving her a home when your MIL could no longer care for her...

Safe passage to the sweet kittie...

:hug:

[Ohio Joe]

9. My condolences

It is always hard when a member of the family passes.

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. I am so sorry! *hugs* I am dreading this moment in my own life.

[kimi]

11. Aw, I'm so sorry

If it turns out that the vet can't do anything for her, it is best for her to be home. Best wishes to all of you.

[WCGreen]

12. Strange, the other cats seem to know something is up...

They are leaving her alone...

[kimi]

14. I firmly believe that cats can sense those things

When I had an 18-year-old kitty with terminal kidney disease, all the other cats were very subdued in her final days. They knew, somehow.

[emilyg]

16. They know.

[lukasahero]

13. I'm so very sorry

I hope you can find comfort in knowing she had a long and wonderful, loved life.

:hug:

[emilyg]

15. So sorry. Hugs.

[Bertha Venation]

17. I'm so sorry to hear it.

:hug:

[MissMillie]

18. This is so sad... I'm so sorry

My Millie likes socks to, and I'd be lost w/o her w/ me to defend me from the menace of socks that infests my apartment.

:loveya:

[Call Me Wesley]

19. Safe passage to your kitty.

May she be free from suffering. Peace and comfort to you and yours, WCGreen.

[WCGreen]

21. They gave her a shot of steroids and she came home for a couple

of more days...

Mainly so MrsWCGreen can get a chance to say good bye...

[mwdem]

22. I'm so sorry to hear this.

Especially after what you all have gone through, and 'tis the season. I hope your kitty will have a very peaceful passing..:cry:

[WCGreen]

29. It is a lot but we somehow get through it all...

Thanksfor the concern...

[mwdem]

31. I've lost too many kittes to count in my lifetime.

I hope this is a calm passage for yours.:hug:

[kimi]

26. I'm glad that MrsWCGreen will have that opportunity

It's very emotional and tough, but I believe she'll be grateful for this time later. Best wishes for you all.

[WCGreen]

28. She has gone through this before with a favorite dog....

[racaulk]

20. I'm very sorry for your kitty.

32. Oh WCG, I'm so sorry!

:hug:

[JackDragna]

33. It's hard to do the right thing..

..but it's necessary. I've done it myself. I wish you all the comfort in the world as you do what is best for your cat. As hard as it is, it's a small price to pay for all the good they do us.

[raccoon]

34. I'm so sorry. nt
