My kitty in Conn. is dying ...

I called Rick tonight to ask him questions about my appt. and he had some horrible news for me. My baby ( my cat is my baby since I can't have kids ) had a horrible seisure lastnight and was rushed to the vet @ 2am. They think he has a brain tumor. He is a beautiful 13 yo Tabby I have had since he was 3 weeks old. He is in the hospital and they are watching him.


If the time comes, I will not let him suffer. I love him too much to do that to him. Rick is broken hearted as I am. We cryed together on the phone, Frankie is our child.


I told Rick to tell Frankie Mommy loves him and to hang on, I'll be home Monday.


This is like loosing a child, some people don't think the way I do about pets ... and I respect that. But please don't make fun of me right now, this hurts so bad.


Hugs,

Robin

Awwwwww Robin,

I understand exactly how you feel. I just lost two of my oldest dogs in the last 3 years.

One was 16yrs. old and was having seizures due to brain tumor, she had to be put to sleep this past May.

My heart and soul was my german shepherd. She was 13 and I had to have her put down when she stopped being able to digest her food.

I know just how you feel and I know it hurts so bad. I am sorry to hear this news.

If only they could live as long as we do.

Just know that you are not alone in feeling this way about your pet.

I know that making the decision is very hard and I know you will do what you feel is right in your heart.

Hugs and love,
Laurie

Robin, I understand, and I am sorry. I hope you get to see him. Frankie had a very long, and I am sure wonderful life. Many cats live a terrible existence, and you were kind to take care of him for so long. If he is suffering, it's time to let him go. big hugs! Sandra

Robin, two weeks ago my dog had to be put to sleep.


I had Buddy for 12 years. He was a gorgeous samoyed with the MOST docile nature and largest heart imaginable. He'd run like

I know you must be feeling so sad, and probably worried too, right now. This is such a hard thing to deal with. There is nothing wrong with thinking of our special pets as being like our children, I've already christened kitty Kirby as my baby. I hope Frankie will be ok, at least until you can get up there to tell him good-bye.


Sending lots of hugs n love n good stuff your way.

Thanks everyone, I truly love you ladies.


This is hard for me to type my eyes are so swollen, I was up all night crying, remembering him as a kitten - adulthood. Frankie ( full name Frank N.Stien ) is so smart, I taught him tricks like a dog. I taught him to fetch and bring back, sit, wait, lay down, and beg.


I will do the right thing when the time comes. That is what Rick & I were talking about that brought us to tears.


Now, Monday is too far away ....


Hugs and much love to you all ... my friends.


Robin
