My cat :(

[Zuth]

My cat is being but down tonight because its got kidney failure, does anyone else cat suffer with this? Its usually occurs in older cats. I'm obviously really sad but with was my first ever pet and Ive had him 10 years :(

[Catzsy]

Sorry to hear that, Ben. My Nan's cat had the same problem and had to be put down too.
It is better than the cat suffering. I know you will be sad but hopefully you will have pictures of him/her and remember the fun times you had although you will feel sad for awhile - it is only natural.

Yer we are getting a canvas with him on. The vets got to put him down at our house, because he doesn't like going to the vets and if we try to get him there the stress will kill him anyway, its the only option :( He hasn't been eating either, at least he will not be suffering anymore as you said.

Well that is nice of the vet and he will simply go to sleep and not have to suffer anymore. It would not be kind to let him carry on like that. 10 years is a good age for a cat.

Thanks for the support Catzsy, you do brighten the forum up :)

Yes, my 17 year old cat died 2 years ago and it was devestating because I had known him my whole life. In the end I felt it was for the best because he was obviously suffering badly but I couldn't be in the room while it was done. :(

I might be there too see him go, you know his last minutes.

[Chris]

I'm sorry to hear about your cat. My aunties cat had to be put down not long ago because of a number of issues, but he was a fairly old cat.

[Arron]

Dude I'm sorry :/

Just spend as much time as you can with your cat now so it pass on happy. It's horrible when this happens but it is for the best.

My cat was just two when he died ;(

[Zuth]

Thanks Guys! Sorry to hear that your cats have died too :(

[Narnat,]

I think that it's important to spend your last hours with him because it will be the last you have. I don't mean this in any cheeky way but maybe spend less time on the internet and more with your cat. I lost my guinea pig today and I felt better because I was holding him in his last few minuets. Sorry to hear about your cat.

[Zuth]

Sorry to hear about your loss, its ok hes sleeping next to me, dont wona make him.

[Stephen]

His body will decay
His soul may even leave this world

But he will always be in the place that matters most.. Your heart

May his journey to the kitty cat afterlife be an enjoyable one

Thanks! Made me feel better.

Got a problem with one of our cats at the moment but no-one knows what it is. Her fur was falling out or coming out easily, she never went outside but stayed inside staring at a wall for days on end. She still ate and drunk but never went outside to do her business and when she pee's it usually blood. She still purrs and likes attention.

But sorry to hear that :(

[Neversoft]

Sorry to hear. One of my cats had to be put down about seven years back for the same reason. We'd had him since before I was born, so after pretty much growing up with him it was extremely painful to see him go. What's more we just went to the vet because he was ill, little did we know about fifteen minutes later we would be given the choice of having him put down or leaving him to suffer. Never had I cried so much in my life, but he had a good life and I am your cat had the same. As Arron said, spend today with him so he can pass on happy and know that it is better than leaving him to suffer.

[Zuth]

Thanks guy! The vets here now :(

[Aidenn]

Aww Ben im so sorry to hear this about your Feline friend.

Dont let it bring you down, just spend as much time with him as you can.

[Zuth]

Hes gone...

[Aidenn]

It appears i was late; sorry for your loss.

[Zuth]

No you weren't, hes just gone :(

[Mathew]

Sorry to hear that Ben. I got Thomas when I was 4 so he's 13 this year.. I've pretty much grown up with him and I'm seriously gonna cry my brains out when he leaves us. His brother, Percy, died when I was about 8 and that's probably the most I've ever cried too (exluding Grandparents).

:'(:'(

[Zuth]

I'm trying to hold it in, but I didn't realise how bad it would be.

[Arron]

It is a terrible feeling knowing that the adorable pet you're used to seeing bright and jolley every morning to greet you when you wake up will no longer be there. It's hard, but it's life - as depressing as that sounds. Life goes on and now you have to remember the memories you have shared and do your best to move on without it getting the best of you.

[Stephen]

ino I cried more over my rabbit dying than my nan dying

[Catzsy]

Don't hold it in. The only consolation is that today you will feel the worst then you start to feel better gradually. xx

[Elegance]

ino I cried more over my rabbit dying than my nan dying

when my rabbit died it was two days after my nans funeral :(

-----------------------------------------------------------------

sorry to hear ben. i hope your cats okay. :(

Ima let it all out when I'm in bed.

[rokgal]

Yes, when i was 7 we had to put down my cat billy, im not too sure why but it was terrible as my mum had him for all my life and i grew up with him :( But 10 years is a good age for a cat and atleast they dotn have to suffer any longer :) x

[Matthew]

Sorry to hear about your cat :(
Thats life I suppose.

As others have said; at least you know it was better for him to be put down that to suffer; and you will always know that he had a great life and that you did your best for him :)

[Zuth]

Thanks, I'm crying my eyes out ATM, why does life have to so harsh.

Ben, your lovely cat is not in pain anymore and he is at peace. I would just try to rest and maybe have an early night. :)

[efq]

It's good to see a man crying. I wish it wasn't for that reason but it takes a real man to get emotional.

I am so sorry :(

Your cat is in a better place now though :)

[HotelUser]

I have two kittens and I absolutely love them to bits. If something happened to either one of them I would cry too.

[Zuth]

Aww, thanks guys, im not so bad now, i let it all out in bed. Im going with my mum to berry him later next to my aunties cat.

[Nick]

:O Sorry to hear that ben , Hope you will be okay :)

[Zuth]

Thanks nick, I'm at school trying not to think about in, berringing him tonight.

[Zuth]

Hmm, its so lonely without him, its like somethings missing from the family. You dont realize how much you love something... until its gone :( I miss him so much, just been to berry him with mum. :( He would be walking around now sniffing, but its all gone. Miss him so much.

It is going to seem strange for awhile. All I can say is that you will get through this. Life can be very ****** sometimes. :(

Thanks Catzsy, i know, why is life so harsh.

[Nikki]

You poor thing! Atleast he isn't in pain anymore. Pets really do become part of the family and it's horrible to loose them. Same thing happened with my old cat, she was 17 and i had grew up with her, its upsetting thinking about them not being with you anymore but atleast they are at peace xx

[wiktoria]

Sorry to hear about your cat. I never had a cat but I had a dog who had to be put down couple of years ago and I feel your pain. I had my dog for about 7-8 years too :( I got another dog soon after and it was the same breed and I love her (A)

[Catzsy]

Ben, have you thought of doing a memorium to your cat? Maybe buying a plant to remember him by or making a scrap book? Something that will last through time.

Ahh, my mums making a stone to go on the place were we burred him. We are having a canvas aswell.

[GommeInc]

Seek comfort in the memories you hold of him, and know he isn't suffering anymore. Losing a cat you've known throughout the beginning of your life is hard, but at least you have many memories and spent so much time with him :)

Don't you worry about it, he/she will be in Kitty heaven! My dog got put down when I was 4 and he was really the only pet I ever loved. When I used to cry he would sit next to me and lick my hand. He was having fits and he kept falling down the stairs. I didn't really know he was so ill but I saw him fall down the stairs once and my mum wouldn't tell me what was up. I came home and he was just gone, my mum said he wasn't in pain any more, brings me to tears even today as I'm writing this.

Obviously you'll be upset but try to think that your cat will be happy and now you've got a little guardian angel, it's only natural to cry and be upset, hope this helped a bit with getting over it a bit.

My friends cat had this I think and she was a bit upset but she's a bit better now, she knows he's in a better place.

[Zuth]

Aw, thanks! :) your all making me feel better.
