My cat Skit is really sick. She has been for a really long time and we've been having to force feed her and give her medication and even had her on IV fluids for a few days. I think she's past the point of no return now (she can barely walk) and we will most likely be putting her down tomorrow. She was a really good cat. She would always come and curl up in my lap while I was studying and purr. And she wouls always get a leg or a tail across whatever I was studying so that I would be forces to stop and cuddle with her. I'm going to miss her alot.

She is for sure one of those pets that you spend a few days crying over. The worse part is that tomorrow is also my first day of finals and they last throughout the week. So I'm just going to be one emotional wreck while studying and taking tests.

I know this has nothing to do with pharmacy school, but I sure am going to miss my cat.
 
I'm sorry about your kitty. I had to put down my Tigger this last year. She was diabetic and had gone into kidney failure. We gave her insulin shots twice a day during her life, but it was still cut short. In the end, we were giving her IV's at home and diuretics but she just wouldn't go. The toxins built up. The vet came out to my house so we could be with her at the end.

I'll be thinking of you.
 
I am so sorry about your kitty. Try to stay strong and get through finals. My cat, Yarbles, is 15 and I think of her as one of my best friends. (cheesy, but true-that furball brings so much joy into my life) I dread the day I have to go through what you are going through.

Sorry to hear....Goodluck on your exams. At least it's nice to know that you are going to pharmacy school regardless if you get an "A" or a "C"
 
I can relate to a cat being your best friend. my cat bumpa developed breast cancer last year, we did a radical mastectomy on her to try to save her, but it had already spread to her lymph nodes. after her surgery, she only had about two months. she became very sick, and couldn't hardly walk. she would go to the litter box, but couldn't get in it anymore- she tried so hard... she was the best kitty anyone could have ever had. the day we had to put her down was a very very sad day. i still get teary just thinking about her. your cat won't be in pain anymore. i am so sorry that you are going through this, but know that it is best, and that you gave your cat the best life possible while you had him/her. i'm sure he/she loves you very much. we're all thinking of you.
 
I am so sorry to hear that your cat is ill. My cat had kidney failure a few years ago and I cried like a baby for days. Some people can't understand why one acts this way for a pet, but I FULLY understand. Pets (cats especially) are very unique in their relationships with humans. That bond is precious while it lasts and devastating when it is gone. I really feel for you. 🙁
 
Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

I am so sorry about your kitty. I know how horrible it can be when a beloved pet dies. I just lost my 4-year old Revey (see my avatar) a few weeks ago from what the vet told me was probably a congenital heart defect.

One of the greatest acts of compasion we can do for our animals is to help them to end their suffering when it is time. But allow yourself to be upset, ignore those who tell you its only an animal, love is love and it is precious no matter what the species.

I am in the middle of the most busy time of my life right now, and after Revey past I didnt allow myself time to just slow down and greave. I know that this is part of the reason I ended up having a horrible panic attack on Sunday, when I havent had one in about eight months. It was a wake up call to me that I have some emotional issues that need to be addressed right now that are just as important as any school or work ones.

Best of luck to you.
 
Wow I feel your pain. My Wysiwyg went in this morning to be spayed. I cried for an hour when my fiance drove of with her. I have not been able to do any work today since she would sit on my desk near the computer and keep me company. Well she sleeps and purrs while I type!

I have only had her about 2 months, but she means the world to me

I will keep you in my thoughts in this sad time... 🙁
 
Skit passed away tonight. I'm going to go have a good cry now.

Thanks everyone for your kind words
 
I am so very sorry. I know how it feels to love and lose a pet who has suffered 🙁 I know it won't be much consolation now, but think about Skit being up in Heaven right now, where she is not sick. I know she is no longer here physically, but she will always be in your heart. You took excellent care of her and she is lucky that she had you as an owner, because someone else might not have cared as much. You loved her the best you could and she is grateful and loves you back. *hugs*
