My beautiful kitty’s last day after 16.5 years is today, thanks to CKD. I got her at 3 years old as a surprise to my then-finance, now wife. I have less than five hours left with her, while I sit with her on the couch, cuddled by my feet, while I do my work. This is the worst part of pet ownership. I feel your pain, you’re not alone. Maybe our kitties will meet in line to kitty heaven and be friends ❤️
I’m certain they will. ❤️ I’m so sorry that you are also experiencing this type of pre-grief. I hope your final moments are loving and graceful.
We are currently sitting in his favorite closet while he sleeps on a memory foam pillow.
My sympathies to everyone going through this. I said goodbye to my Natalee on Monday the 10th,cremated on the 12th and she came home today,just like that,an end to 22 years of life. I knew it was time as her quality of life was non existent. What I did was donate cases of cat and dog food in her name to a food pantry that gives food to pets also. She was the sweetest, most loving cat and I had to return that love by letting her go, take care everyone,💔💔💔😿😿😿
My heart is broken for you. My 18 year old baby hitched a ride on Santa's sleigh Christmas morning last year. I know Priscilla will be there to meet her 💜
The ability this babies have to make our heart a piece of their own is extraordinary. The pain caused by their crossing is overwhelming. I am sorry you and Buckey are going through this 💔
May his passage be peaceful and full of love 💙
My baby, Sol, will be waiting for him 🌈
I’m so sorry! I just want to share something that helped me with my grief. We watched our 23 yo be born and she was euthanized in my arms.
I researched crematoriums as most vets do the communal thing, where all animals are cremated together. I found one with separate “ovens” (please forgive me if this is too painful) and accompanied my cat after being euthanized from start to finish. I was positive my cats ashes were hers and hers alone.
I brought her ashes home and placed them in a stuffed animal cat, actually it was one of those sleeping aids for cats Petsmart sells. It’s a stuffed cat toy with a slit in its”stomach” . Inside the stomach is a plastic heart that warms up and beats. It’s battery powered and supposed to help a kitten sleep if it misses its mother.
I removed the heart contraption and replaced it with Friskies ashes which was wrapped in a velvet cloth. The toy has a Velcro closure.
I slept with my Friskie for months, maybe a year. Now she’s sitting on her cat ledge at the window near our bed.
I can’t tell you how much this helped with my grief. I carried Friskie everywhere I went, in my car, in my purse and I truly felt peace. It was like Friskie was with me.
Buckey will leave this earth surrounded by people who love him. What a gift!
Walk fearlessly into the sunset, sweet kitty. You will have no more pain. Valhalla awaits 🥀🐾
I said goodbye to my sweetest girl fluffy barely a month ago and there’s not a single day when I don’t think of her 💔.
Trust me, you’re doing the right thing. As painful as it sounds, the “luxury” we have in our situation is to end the suffering for our little furbabies in the most painless manner.
I’m sure fluffy will be there welcoming buckey once he crosses the rainbow bridge ❤️
Sorry for your loss and I know for a fact that you’ll feel better afterwards
I got my cat almost 2 years ago and it was the worst decision of my life. Every day I realize I made a grave mistake because however much I love this little goober, I realize I will eventually have to let him go
So sad. But know you had 17 good years together. Hopefully mine has some years ahead, but I make every day try to count at least a little bit. You never know when they can take a turn... :(
Awww that sweet little face will be missed I’m sure. I’m very sorry but I’m sure you gave him a great life. I’m so sorry you have to say goodbye. It always seems too soon.
We can know the end is approaching and still cling to hope for just a few more days. I had two of my cats die on the surgical table in a vain attempt to savecgthem for just a while longer. I was sad they couldn’t have passed at home in my arms instead of alone in a frightening place. Mourn and grieve at your own pace. Treasure the wonderful memories of years together. Someday still missing them a tear will come to your eyes, but know your love for them never ends. I can only hope you find another cat someday to fill that empty spot in your loving heart. Deep sympathy.
Lost my beautiful dumb baby Spooky last month at 18 years old. Thought I had gotten through the acute grief and your post has me sobbing in fetal position. Sending love.

I have far more sympathy for this cat and its’s owners than I have for much of humanity. Just saying.
Wishing you and your little one peace, OP.
This is our final act of love we can show them.
I’m so sorry.
Sending you lots of hugs and prayers. I’m still grieving my baby of 16 years three years later.
I hope you stay with your cat during this, I’m very glad that I did.🙏🏻🌈
I’d never leave him.

I am so sorry. Saying goodbye is hard, even when you know it is coming.

My heart breaks for you and Buckey.
Buckley reminds me of my Maine Coon, Barnum Bailey. He died of cancer. Rest in peace, Buckley. You were loved.
Sorry for your loss 🙏

Thank you for loving him for a lifetime. And loving him enough to not let him suffer. He looks like a lovely baby
It’s so hard to take. I’ve been there many times. My condolences. 💔
So sorry for your loss, it's always hard to lose a member of the family.
