I had two cats and know what you are going through. It is truly a heart wrenching experience and I send you every best.

She just died in front of me vomiting huge amounts of thick blood which is everywhere. I wanted the vet do it painlessly this afternoon but they wouldn't make an appointment for me until tomorrow despite me living 2 minutes from there by foot.

My heart is torn out. I'll be quiet.

Thank you for your graphic description and explanation of the situation with the vet. It must have been totally beyond words and devastating to have gone through that.

We were lucky enough to have a vet nearby who would work with us to end the pets suffering. I will tell you honestly the loss of our cats was many times more painful than the loss of a relative or friend. I am not supposed to say that but it is true.

Time of course helps but it takes a very long time.....

Wish I could say or do something to help with that pain.....

I still have a photo of our long-gone family member furry friend as the wallpaper on my phone. He passed in 2018. It's not that I dwell, he was just so important to us. We loved him, he loved us. I know how you feel. I'm sorry for your loss. It's tough. Hang in there Le Baron, cherish the times you had together.
