Lily cat passed over the rainbow bridge today at 445 pm. We knew today would be the day since the cancer had become expediently worse over the last week. This morning we made the appointment at her vet. She left us in mine and my daughter's arms.
I am so devastated right now but at least she is out of the pain that she suffered.
I will respond later to any replies. This evening will be for morning.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and understanding in this painful time. Bless all of you.

You gave her a good life, and if you spoiled her rotten, that makes you officially a good guy.

(8,995 posts)When my cat passed at age 7 it was a shock. The only time he meowed was when he was in pain the last 24 hours. Since he weighed 25 pounds (healthy not obese) it had quite a beautiful haunting boom. I still miss him and how he always tapped my shoulder before he jumped into my lap.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Lily girl. Know that she is in the Summerland, free of pain, loving all of you. I have sent my babies to greet her.
Do not be surprised if you see/hear/feel her as she watches over her belovrd family.
Please be kind and gentle with yourselves in this sad and difficult time.

(340 posts)Since every new grief has the potential to reawaken any (or even, every) old grief, please be gentle with yourself.
Un abrazo muy fuerte, as many of my friends say.

(638 posts)So terribly sorry for you loss. It was good of you to be there for her at the end, the love she felt from you both will have made her passing more comfortable. You all are in my thoughts.

(84,117 posts)Empathy is a good thing, because many of us have walked this path and genuinely, and very personally, know exactly how you feel.
So let that wrap around you. It's real and very present. There's been a distressing number of posts, recently, about the loss of a much-loved pet. So there's a LOT of empathy out there to share. Unfortunately, you're the one immediately dealing with it right now. But please don't forget: you don't mourn alone. You don't EVER mourn alone.

(6,673 posts)Just like he did in life. I could feel the weight, warmth, and the purring. Then one morning all of a sudden, he sat up, and then ran across the bed where I felt his brother cat at the door. They went off to heaven together and I know that is how they wanted it to be. I am not fooling, lying or exaggerating. Please believe me.

May Lilys spirit run free.

(1,010 posts)Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
