Remember he is 17yrs old. Vet says it is just about giving him quality of life now...I really don't want him to go just yet tho...

I amd so sorry for the hurt you feel. I know it well. I will be praying for you too.

Aww, Kerry, I have had to go through this too many times, I understand your sorrow. But at the risk of offending, if heaven is a place of love & light & peace, then I believe our dear little ones are there with us to continue to give us their love, and receive ours. I cannot imagine a God who would deny the little innocents continuing joy. "Look at the birds of the air, they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them." Love your Benny well, I expect you'll see him again. My love & understanding, Marji

aww..i bet he is like a child to you. 17 years? wow...that is a long time but not quite long enough is it? enjoy being with black benny cat while he's still with you. i would be heart broken if i lost my dog sassy. it is hard seeing a pet suffer.

I'm sorry to hear that, Kezza. We lost our dog four months ago, the vet had to put him down, he went with no pain. The other dog cried for weeks missing her partner, and she is not the same ever since. You&your family will be in my thoughts...

I am so sorry Kerry.
I know it is hard to let go and I dread even thinking of any of my current babies leaving me, but as hard as it is for us, you will eventually have to decide what is the best thing, for him.

My thoughts are with you all and my prayers are for Black Benny Cat to slip away quietly to the Rainbow Bridge and save you the heartbreak of having to make that terrible decision.

Just remember the Rainbow Bridge is where he will wait for you.
hugs n blessings, Meg

thanks meg, I may have to decide tomorrow or saturday.

I'm very sorry. I know what you are going through, we lost our dog to cancer last year (she was down to 3 legs too, loosing one due to a tumor), it is so hard to see a member of the family suffer and fade. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and Black Benny Cat, may his pain be minimal, and when he goes, may he go in peace.

DH has been in hospital for last 4 days, he should come home tomorrow, so I will wait for him to give him his last cuddles and I am sure I will have to say goodbye to Benny. We have had some fantastic moments. Once we sneeked him into a motel a real flash one at that, he was still a kitten and when we went out for dinner, we looked up at the window and there he was large as life so had to go back and lock him in the bathroom so no one saw him.... Have so many wonderful to remember anyway...

Sorry your cat is ill. I hope that he is not in too much pain.

So sorry to hear about your cat. I know how you feel - we had to have our 22 year old cat put down in August. It's very hard when they are so much a part of the family. *4U

shirley, it is so hard to even think about but I know I have to make the decission as he is on the verge of suffering now I am sure...

I'm sorry about your pet. It is devastating to lose one.

Always sad to lose a pet you have had for so long, been there and know how it feels...hugs G xxx

I am sorry to hear about your kitty. Pets are so special, it's hard to let them go. Give him lots of love and special care.
