Sorry that you have to go through that.  I know how hard it is.  :(  It always helps me to try and remember that they had a long, happy life with a loving family.

My condolences for your loss of a loved one, "aggie".
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

I'm so sorry to hear this! Your 20 years with your cat is a lot longer than most marriages these days.  It's hard to do but when it's to end their suffering at least you can feel that you're doing that last kindness.  I had to put 3 dogs to sleep and I always stayed by their side until they were gone, so that they knew they were loved as they left this world.

I am sorry to hear of your loss, pets are like members of the household and it is a sad event when they pass.  I had an Afghanhound for 15 years and I still miss her to this day, it has been 10 years since I had to have her put down, it is never an easy thing.  :sad1:

I'm so sorry.  My pets are like my children.  Your cat will be waiting for you on the Rainbow Bridge.  :heart:

 >:( So sorry for you.  That is the only thing about pets - they become part of the family and such a part of our lives that it is so hard when they have to be put down or die.  I have a little dog that is with me 98% of the time and I can't imagine life without her.  I truly am sorry you are having to go thru this, I'll pray for peace for you.  :crybaby2:

I totally know the feeling.  My cats are my kids too.  At least 20 is a good old age for a cat.  I'm sure you have lots of happy memories.  Keep those in mind.  Take care.   :'(

I am so very sorry for your loss.  I have had to do that a few times myself.  About 3 years ago I had to put down my beautiful Zoie that I had for about 20 years and a few weeks later I also had to do the same for my sickly "Wendle"  who was the love of my life.... a huge big orange kitty that loved me so very much.  I cry everytime I think about it.

So sorry to hear that.  I just went through that in January this year with my 15yr old mini Schnauzer.  It is like losing a member of the family.  Just be strong (easier said than done).  You will see them again.  Remember you gave them a good life.  Keep your chin up.   :angel11:

I am sorry to hear that - please accept my condolences.  I know what it's like to lose a pet, it's really losing a member of the family.
