My wife took one of our two cats to the vet to have her euthanized this morning (I was at work). She was 15, in kidney failure, and could hardly walk around this morning. It's a dark day in my household. We did spend a nice evening together last night with her curled up and purring in my wife's lap while we watched TV. Great...I'm tearing up as I type this.

So sorry to hear about your loss. We lost our cat of 15 years last year as well. She looks very much like yours. I know how you feel. It just sucks. I still wait for her to jump up on our bed each night....and she doesn't.

Thank you both. It's going to be hard when she doesn't come in to "watch" TV with us tonight.
 
John,

I am so sorry to read of your loss. What a beautiful cat. That's a great photo. Thank you for posting it.
 
I am so sorry John...no matter what some may say, it is like losing a family member - hell, it is a family member.

I feel your pain and hope you can just think of all the joy she brought...
 
Sorry to hear about the loss of your kitty John. :( No matter what the pain, wouldn't have it any other way! They fit just purr-fectly into our lives with their unconditional love!
 
John,

I'm sorry for your loss. I know all too well how one feels during this time. My calico, Callie was 15 when she passed away last year. Her kidneys were failing also among other health issues. Luckily she died at home on the couch with me holding her. We were listening to Bill Evans 'Waltz For Debby'. Our animals are much like children/family members especially to those who have no children like myself. Love your other kitty and get another soon.

I'll spin some Bill Evans in rememberance...

John, I share your sorrow with you and your wife.

* Yesterday I buried a young deer (bambi) who just recently died on my property. And last month I buried "Baloune" my favorite little hummingbird friend.

Walk slow, look all around you; the sky, the trees, the birds, ...and eventually get another cat, and love twice the one you have now.
 
John,

May you remember the good / fun times with a big smile for they are what your friend would want.

Best,
Mike
 
Losing a pet is one of the hardest things in life to deal with. I understand exactly how you feel. I hope you get to the point I have, I remember fondly all the joy she gave me and it makes me smile. I'm very sorry for your loss.
 
John, that's a beautiful photo of your cat. My sincere condolences for your loss...
 
Loss is one of those things in life that just cuts through everything else... Leaving a big hole in our hearts. A profound reminder of our humanity. Hug your wife, put on some music that moves you, have a good cry, and say farewell to your little friend. Then hug your wife some more. Let the pain you feel be a tribute to the memories of your friend.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you--that's a lovely sentiment. We've had several tearful hugging scenes, believe me.
 
Tears cleanse, pets heal! Don't forget that one. Sorry for your loss, it's not easy
