My cat Trio, who I have had for over twelve years is dying. She has a growth in her stomach and she is literally starving herself to death. I asked the vet to give me a little time but I know I chose the wrong course. She use to be a 18 lb cat. She is now probably 4 lbs. She is nothing but bones. She has to be suffering. Vet couldn't garentee that she would live thru the anesthia since she had lost so much weight. That was when she was 6 lbs. I should have put her down then because now I am in tears over my loss. I will have to call the vet tomorrow because she is not well at all. God, this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I know it is for the best but it hurts so bad.

It does hurt, they are family and are such a part of our lives. I've been through it four times now and every time it takes a chunk out of my soul. Hold Trio close she knows you love her and will take comfort from your presence.

*hugs* again for you both.

"Just this side of Heaven is a place called The 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 and 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 miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent, the eager body quivers. Suddenly they begin to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them 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 the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together......."
