Our cat is dying.


Our cat, TC, after 19 long and fruitful years, is dying. She was listless last night, and the emergency call vet wouldn't have been able to see her until 8 AM this morning, even for euthanasia.

I found her on the dining room floor about 20 minuts ago, cold and staring off, but still breathing very shallowly. I don't think she's even going to last until the vet opens in 15 minutes to be put down properly.

Please keep her, and us, in your thoughts.

1. I'm so sorry.....
TC is so beautiful. You're so lucky to have shared a home and a life with her for so many years. It's so hard to lose a friend after so many years. My heart is breaking for you. Your family and TC are in my thoughts. Godspeed TC.

2. Awww, she looks like my 15 y/o tabby
I hope if she passes it is peaceful, and with you. You gave each other 19 wonderful years, I can't even imagine how hard this must be. Keep us updated. You're in my thoughts. 48%er & the guys

6. It is a gift to be with a pet who dies naturally...
Just be there with her - she will know what to do.

For all my relations.

Have the courage to sit with her on the floor and tell her what a wonderful kitty she is. She may pass and you can help her do it peacefully and let her know she was loved.

8. She is a beautiful girl, and I am sure she has been very well loved.
To be held close and pass away in the arms of some one who loves you is a true blessing. I hope she has peaceful, easy journey.

15. TC
pabsungenis I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my sweet girl Morgan to cancer 2 weeks ago. She was nine. I know how hard it is to say goodbye. My thoughts are with you and TC.

*************************************************************************************

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together......."

16. Thank you.
She finally passed this afternoon at 3:15. It was long in coming, but came peacefully in the end.
