We had to put our cat to sleep today

My poor missy cat. I still remember the night dh brought you home. You were so tiny you fit inside his flannelette shirt pocket.

You would bite our toes of we weren't patting you and if we stopped patting you before you were done you would bite our fingers. And you most definitely did nt like gentle pats the rougher we patted you the louder you purred. You for some reason could not meow if someone accidentally stepped on your foot (which was often cus you were always under our feet) you would let out a croak.

You looked like a carpet snake and had the most gorgeous colours

This morning missy came running up the stairs to be fed as usual so I was surprised to find you A few hurs later looking quite sick and not able to walk properly. We weren't sure what was wrong but you had done this earlier this year but came good after 2 days. Today however things were different. Dh took missy to the vet and we hoped a course of abs would help but no she had had a stroke. Had gone blind and deaf and was unresponsive

RIP missy. You will be missed. 1997 -2011

:hug: I'm so sorry hun.

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, 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 each 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. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run 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....

I love the rainbow bridge poem, makes me cry every time I read it :hug:

Sorry that your little Missy has passed away. Sounds like she was a real cutie.

That is a lovely poem Sopdet, gave me a tear too.

Hugs so sorry to hear off the loss of your loved pet xoxo

RIP Missy :comfort:

:( so sorry that Missy can no longer be with you :hug:

Bey-bye Missy. You were deeply loved and will be missed a great deal.

:hug:

It is so hard :(

I'm so sorry hunni :hug::hug::hug:. RIP Missy, you'll always be loved, always remembered and always missed by your family.

I was also given the 'Rainbow Bridge' poem when my cat Pooky was put to sleep, it's just so beautiful and comforting, it makes me cry too every time I read it.

My poor kids. 3 cried themselves to sleep. I was shocked by Olivia's reaction. She will be 4 next month and she was devastated to the point that she was almost hyperventilating. Never seen her like that before. My other kitty. Miss ollie looks lonely tonight :(. I tried encouraging her to come inside (my girls are outside kitties) but she wasn't having a bar of it.

So sorry :hug: RIP Missy :hug:

Your poor little chickens, I wish I could give them their beloved Missy back. It's amazing how big the love is between kids and their beloved pets. It's beautiful, but so hard to watch when their little hearts are breaking :(

So sorry for your loss :(
May she rest in peace!

Hugs to you Aussienic xox

RIP Missy xoxoxo

The kids are a lot better today. Olivia wants us to buy another missy :(.

Ollie was very quiet this morning and wouldnt eat so I bought her a treat from the shops and she ate :). She looks really sad though. I keep trying to get her to come inside but she won't. They are outside kitties and have been for 12 years so maybe she thinks she isn't allowed to come in

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. :(
:hug:

RIP Missy, sorry to hear about her passing.

Sopdet that poem had me bawling my eyes out

:hug: so sorry you had to say goodbye xx

I know where you're at. It just happened to me too. A terrible, traumatic thing to go through. Big hugs to you and your family.

Thank you!

My other kitty is doing quite well but she has changed where she sleeps at night. Missy and Ollie always curled up on the back veranda at night and now she sleeps on the front stairs.

The kids are doing fine. They talk about missy from time to time
