ellid: (Woe)
It's finally time - Siren barely touched her food this morning, and she's barely moved all day. Tomorrow at 8:30 Roomie and I will be taking her to the vet for the last time and making sure that her suffering is at an end.

May Lady Bast receive her faithful servant, and may Siren romp and play and be a good, loving cat to her humans in her next life. She was my girl from the day I first found her on my porch all those years ago, and she won't be alone when she makes that last journey into the dark.

I'm so sorry. I was a mess when we had to take my bunny of 10 years for the last time. (she wasn't eating and couldn't hop any more) Hang in there.

Sad news, but...Siren's truly been lucky to have you as her person. {{hugs}}

oh sweetheart. I'm so sorry. This step is always the worst, hardest, most necessary thing. *hugs* I'm sure there will be a welcoming committee waiting for her on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

I'm sorry, honey.

*hugs* So, so sorry.

You were a wonderful mommy to her, I know, and I know you gave her life joy, as she did yours. *HUGS* My thoughts and prayers are with you both, dear.

I'm so sorry that you're facing this. It's such a sad, sad time. May you find some modicum of comfort in knowing that you have proven worthy of her trust in you by humanely ending her suffering while also staying by her side to comfort her to her last moments. You'll be in my prayers in this time of grieving.

I'm sorry for your loss. :(

Date: 2011-09-28 12:13 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ellid.livejournal.com
Thanks. It's the hardest thing a pet owner can do, and the most necessary.

Date: 2011-09-28 12:14 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ellid.livejournal.com
Thanks, hon. I appreciate it. She's a sweet, loving cat, and I will miss very much.

Date: 2011-09-28 12:15 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ellid.livejournal.com
Thanks. I'm going with Roomie and my best friend, B, so I won't be alone for this. I'm not sure I could *stand* being alone....

Date: 2011-09-28 12:15 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ellid.livejournal.com
Thanks :)

If nothing else, she'll be with her old friend Arrow, my beloved brown tiger cat who passed six years ago this month.

Date: 2011-09-28 12:16 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ellid.livejournal.com
Thanks. I appreciate it.

Date: 2011-09-28 12:17 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ellid.livejournal.com
Thanks. She's lost so much weight, and she's eating so little - evidently she ate a bit more and groomed herself this afternoon, but I found vomit near her and I think it was hers. Even if she rallies a tiny bit, it's not worth it any more.

My poor darling.

Date: 2011-09-28 12:17 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ellid.livejournal.com
Thanks, honey. *hug*

You're in our thoughts (((hugs)))

Thanks. It's the right thing, but oh how it hurts.

Oh, I know... :-(

I'm so sorry for you about this; I know it hurts no end. Siren has been very lucky to have a caring perosn all her life, though.

So sorry to hear this. Siren surely has a place in the Great Catbasket in the Sky.

Sending you strength and warm fuzzies in this most difficult time. You are a good cat-mommy, concerned with her needs over your own.
Blessings...

I am sorry for your loss. I have been in that position before, and will be again (my current cat is 14.5 years old).

I know your pain. I grieve with you.

Thanks. The tumor had just gotten too big, and she was suffering. She passed very peacefully.

My heart is still broken.

Date: 2011-09-30 03:22 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ellid.livejournal.com
Thanks. She was wonderful cat.

I did the best I could with her - she was lovely girl. I miss her so.

Date: 2011-09-30 03:23 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] ellid.livejournal.com
I hope so. She deserved it :)

They never live long enough. Thanks :)

Thank you. It was the right thing to do, but I still miss her so.
