19 year old cat friend put down today...so long Tiffy...you were a splendid animal.

[MichiganVote]

Renal failure, had to put her down. I will miss her little trill of greeting and paw on my head trying to groom me.

Always hard to lose a pet who has been a true member of the family. I miss her tonight. Poor baby.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. So sorry.

R.I.P., Tiffy. :hug:

[MichiganVote]

2. Thanks, we have two other cats but she was special. So sweet...bummer.

[snailly]

3. I'm so sorry

That really hurts. I'm sure she's still with you in someway. Nineteen years is a good run for a kitty though. You did good for her and I'm sure she knows.
:hug:

[MichiganVote]

5. Thanks. She was such a great cat. I will miss her.

[Sanity Claws]

4. My condolences

She had a good long life. Was she with you all 19 years?
I have two cats, one 14 and the other 10. I fear their passing.

[MichiganVote]

6. Just about. We got her from the pound where I get all out pets. Except for the

freeloaders who show up. Can't turn them away. We have two of those left. I call them my Foster Kitties.

[cherish44]

7. It's always so hard to say goodbye

Wow, 19 years, nice long life and I'm sure she was well loved...we should all be so lucky...RIP sweet kitty!

[MichiganVote]

8. Thanks, yeah she was well loved. We spoil all our pets. They are our Masters afterall. :)

[Old Troop]

9. I'm so sorry

A pet is truly a member of the family. Several years ago our dog got lymphoma at 15 years old. On her last day, my son-in-law gently picked her up off the couch she always slept on and brought her to the car for her final journey. A year later I was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. I watched my son-in-law suspiciously for nearly a year.

[MichiganVote]

13. LOL! My son always remind us he's sending us to the home too.

I tell him I'm going to find my own place to die like the animals do. If the gov't keeps going as is, seems like a real possibility.

[caitxrawks]

10. nooo, i'm so sorry :(

We put down my lifelong cat Smokey when I was in high school. He was just too old, he couldn't care for himself anymore. It was so sad. I think he ended up heaving a heart attack and my mom had to have him put to sleep. I still miss him after all these years. No cat will ever replace him.

He was the best. I remember he would jump on my stomach and knead my stomach for HOURS. Then he'd turn around and stick his butt in my face to knead some more. Then he'd lay down and go to sleep. It was such a nice feeling. I kinda wish we could have pets in our apartment, but my husband hates cats and my toddler is enough trouble by herself lmao.

[MichiganVote]

12. Sound like Smokey could have been a relative. My husband always talked

about hating cats but then when we got one he was and is the biggest sucker alive.

[Captain Hilts]

11. Tiffy, say 'Hi' to Little Skeezix. nt

[MichiganVote]

14. Kitty Heaven...endless catnip and wet cat food.

I had to do that with my two kitties...no matter when it happens, it's always a sad day.

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. I am so sorry *hugs* It's always so hard to lose a fur-baby.

[bigwillq]

24. I am so sorry for your loss.

:hug:

[libodem]

25. Sorry for your loss

I just had my 20 something year old kitty put to sleep and I still miss her every day.

[TreasonousBastard]

26. A terrible thing, I know. Lost my resident furball of 15 years a month ago...

an I still haven't really gotten over it.

Renal failure-- that's what got Bastion. From what I hear, seems to be almost epidemic.

Hugs. It is losing a family member.

[begin_within]

27. She's very lucky to have had you

as her human during her time on Earth. As they say, "a dog has a master, a cat has a staff." And she had a good long life. I'm sorry for your loss.

[MichiganVote]

39. Thanks. We feel lucky too.

[OhioChick]

28. I'm sorry.

:(

[KT2000]

29. I am really sorry

about your loss. It is hard to lose a friend.

[mikeytherat]

I'm sure both Tiffys are playing in a sunbeam right now.

42. I know how you feel, dear MV.

It's so hard. My parents' back yard has turned into a graveyard for animals over the years... RIP Tiffy.

[zx_3500]

43. So sad. RIP

[elocs]

44. Sorry, yes it's hard. My 1st cat was put down just a few months short of 20 years old.

I found her by the side of the road, covered with fleas, when she was just a week old. Twenty years was a big chunk of my life as well.

[CBR]

45. My sympathies

:hug:

[stuntcat]

46. Lucky Tiffy

She must have been a happy old girl :hug: and had a great life!

[Skittles]

47. so sorry

Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you.....
I loved you so --
'twas Heaven here with you.

[Sheltiemama]

48. I'm so sorry.

Wow, 19 years. You should be proud of the excellent care you obviously gave her. And how sweet that she tried to fix your hair!

[Faygo Kid]

49. Condolences. We put down two cats and a dog in 2009.

Tough year.
