Sorry TC. Losing a pet is the worst part of the contract we sign up for when we bring them into our lives. My cat is turning sixteen in a few months and I know the day is coming closer and closer and that makes me sad.

But remember the good times and the love you both shared for each other and in time maybe you can share some of that love again with another contract. Sorry for your loss

(This is copy pasted from the other dog loss topic cause I meant to post this here and then ended up over there. I have covid so I blame my brain)

We put our cat of nearly 19 years (only had her for the last two, my wife had her for the first five, long story) but the guilt of doing it still weighs heavy on my heart. She had mouth cancer and didn't eat for weeks and she was so skinny and tiny but still a ball of love. My wife picked her up and she was sneezing and coughing and I couldn't take it, we went to put her to sleep right after despite having an at home vet signed up to do it a few days later. I just couldn't stand seeing her struggle to move and stumble so I made the call.

Still makes me tear up thinking about it.
