He lived a long life of 20 years....he was a very healthy old man, but this past year he lost so much weight and even lost a lot of his hair.  He had chronic diarrhea, and no one knew for sure why.  In the end he lost all control, and when I came home the other night he was sitting in blood and stool, and he attempted to clean himself and fell over.  I couldn't let him live this way. He loved to go out and run around, and the past few months he just sat by the heater all day.  It was hard to see him deteriorate and even worse to let him go. I am still feeling guilty for it, because it wasn't as clear cut as I wanted it to be and I wonder if he wasn't ready yet. And then I wonder if I should have done it sooner.

There is nothing worse than losing a pet

Whenever we decide to end our beloved pets lives, it seems like we always have guilt. But in the end you know you did the right thing. We always do it with a hurtng heart., that takes a very long time to heal. You did the right thing. He is no longer suffering and is in a beautiful place. So don't dwell on his death. Just  keep remembering your lives together. God bless you for loving your kitty so much.

Animal babies are lucky to have someone love them enough to end their struggle..., at that point it's about them, not us.  we take on pain to end theirs. Prayers to you & yours.

So sorry about the loss of your fur baby.  Hugs and prayers to you .  Lassie & Helen
