But I'm glad you were with her to provide that love and comfort in her final moments.

…into our lives, knowing that we will most likely outlive them, but we do it anyway because life is so much better with them in it.

It’s always agonizing when they depart.

The last time we had to put a cat down (and of course, you feel responsible for being the one making the call), I tried a different approach, and it worked (at least for me).

The vet came to our house, went to the bedroom where our lovely, incredible Zena was, and put her to sleep. I thought I would ball my eyes out but instead, I thanked Zena for giving and sharing with us close to 20 years of her beautiful life. She was suffering, which made it easier, but for me, this approach made it more of a celebration of her life vs. focusing on my grief.

Wishing you all the best.

Something Beautiful Remains

So sad to lose pets and people we love.

It is very comforting and lifted my spirits. I’m going to share it with some of my family and friends who are struggling with grief today.

And advised us on spaying middle aged cats. That was great advice and could maybe be Kitty’s lesson for all..her legacy. Thinking of you kindly as this is never easy 😻

Grasswire2. Hope you can post a picture. I lost one of my kitties last week and I feel the family has shrunk considerably. I did not know about the spaying to prevent mammary cancer so thank you for the information.

Peace to you and Kitty.

and comfort to her grieving loved ones.

I am so very sorry for your loss. They make our world so wonderful while they are here.

So many of us have seen the love in the eyes of our pets. So, even if you can't post a picture, we already know. I am so sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry, Grasswire2.

Be sweet and gentle with yourself, and give yourself time. After all, you gave her a good life with safety and comfort and love and plenty of food and lots of petting.

You may feel horrible right now, but ya done good.

I'm sure Kitty found comfort in your arms when she passed.

That's all our fur kids want, along with giving much love back.

So sad it wasn't longer.

9 years ago, I had the same thing happen...they become so a part of you don't they? Healing wishes for you, may you in later days delight in the memory of her!

and comfort to her grieving loved ones.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Kitty. My heart aches for you. Know that we are here for you.

Sending you some sweet Shalom, peace be with you.
Niyad’s blessing is so powerful and comforting. I join her in it for you and for your beloved Kitty.

I recently lost my kitty and I miss her so much. When our pets leave us, it leaves a deep hole in our hearts.

It is hard to say goodbye to a member of your family
