My poor kitty cat :(

Oh Liv hon that's sad :hug:

This has made me so incredibly sad. I had to give away my 2 cats that i had for many years last June as i moved in with DP and was not allowed to keep them:cry:. My black one elways slept on my bed and they would both be sitting at the front door when i got home from work. Cats are a great sense of charachter and a great companion for anyone living alone. I still to this day think about them all the time and wish that i had been able to keep them:crying:. I am very sorry for what you are about to go through and wish you all the best. I hope your kitty makes lots of friends in Kitty Heaven and that they have a bowel of milk and ball of string waiting for her. xxx:hug:

I'm so sorry hun :( But you have given your cat a great life, and you are doing the right thing by having her PTS before she suffers too much, I'm sure she is thankful for that :hug:

I would include your DD, she needs to know what is happening rather than her cat just disappering. It's a good opportunity to teach about life and death, as difficult as it is to deal with it's also a fact of life. I hope she isn't too distraught, thinking of you guys :hug:

so sorry to hear about this Liviam...hugs to you all. It is so incredibly sad when our pets get older and just can't cope anymore. Look after yourself over the next few days. RIP little kitty cat.

Oh honey, I'm so, so sorry :( I had my fingers crossed all day for you and your poor kitty!! I know you must be devastated (I would be, too) but you know what the right decision is, and you can take some small comfort in knowing that she's had a very comfortable life and has been loved by you very, very much. I know that doesn't make it easier, but FWIW I think she knows and appreciates the life she's had with you.
Definitely explain to and include DD, I'll never forgive my dad for having our cat put to sleep and burying him while I was at school... I got home and he's standing in the yard with a shovel and wondered why I lost my mind and nearly brained him with it :/ It will be hard, but I think in the long run it'll be easier on DD than if her beloved kitty were to just disappear, kwim?

I'm so, so sorry for you, Liviam. Please accept my sympathy and know that my heart is hurting along with yours :(

I am really really sorry Liviam. this is just devastating news :hug:

we faced a similar situation with our cat Cassius and had to make the decision that no one should have to make to have him put to sleep. i know that this is morbid but you can request that she is given a sedative before the injection, that way she is calm, relaxed and not in any pain and literally goes to sleep...we did this with Cassius and it was very peaceful.

poor baby :hug:

Liviam, im so sorry for this to happen but i believe u are doing the right thing for kitty! I am so a cat LOVER and would do anything for them, i think as kylza mentioned they are very much companion for someone alone & family's....

I got a kitty at 8yr old and had him until the day i turned 15 i seen him get run over :( it was not a very pretty site and it devastated me, so i strongly believe ur doing the best thing for kitty so she isnt in pain and im sure she will very much remember u all in kitty heaven :) hugs darl!

i also had a kitty before moving here and they wouldnt let me have her here so unfortently she got left with my mum, but im very pleased my younger sister has taken her on and spoils her rotten like i would have and still get to see her..

I agree with what others have said about ur DD knowing whats going on then to just realise kitty is gone!

please take my sympathy as i would be shattered about this as much as you

Thank you all so much for you beautiful and very kind words. It helps so much. We are just keeping her comfortable until Friday when she is being put to sleep. Definitely not looking forward to that day :(. Thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts :grouphug:

Sorry to hear this Liv - :hug: and may your gorgeous girl be waiting for you over the Rainbow Bridge. Give her snuggles tonight and who cares about her diet, give her treats! It's never easy, and your girl has been so good with your princess over the start of your family's life - that is a gift that will be with your daughter forever. Farewell Puss.

Oh Liviam, you and your wonderful kitty will be in my thoughts on Friday and beyond. Take this opportunity to spoil her absolutely rotten and enjoy every minute you have with her. I'm so sorry it's had to come to this :(

:cry: Well the time has come :cry:. I've got her favourite blanket for her to be wrapped in. I'm so sad and really wish I was strong enough to take her myself but I don't want to upset/scare her even more with me sobbing. Please tell me it is peaceful for her and wont hurt her.

oh hun, it wont hurt her at all, she'll just get sleepy and close her eyes.
big hugs on such a dreadfull day

Oh sweetie :hug: I'm thinking of you today. Try not to worry, love, it IS peaceful and very, very quick. Just a little needle p-ick and off to sleep straight away. Big, big, big hugs to you, hun. Will your DH be with her? Some vets take the pet out the back to save the owner the pain of seeing their pet pass, but honestly I'd rather be there to comfort her as it happens, kwim?
All the best hun, I'm so sorry. My condolences :(

Dh is taking her and has promised me he will stay with her and stroke her under the chin which she just loves!! Thank you for the reassurance that it is peaceful for her. This just absolutley sucks!!!

It won't hurt her, she might struggle a bit when they put the needle in but most cats hate going to the vet anyway! As the others have said she will just peacefully go to sleep and that will be it. Are you going to bring her body back home to bury her?

Thinking of you all today, and much love to your kitty :hug:

I'm so sorry for your loss. My cats mean the world to me, I am thinking of you today :hug:

Fly free in kitty heaven little cat :heartbeat:

Hugs to you so very sad.

Fly free in kitty cat heaven

I'm so sorry for your loss. It won't hurt her, it is a really peaceful thing. We had to PTS our 18mo puppy and he just took one last sigh and closed his eyes like he was asleep. It doesn't cause them distress and it really is the most humane way. She won't be suffering anymore.

Big :hug:
