Lost my cat one week today
Hello my name is Lisa and just recently I had to have my cat put down...I
had to on Sunday...I woke up with her meowing and dragging her back legs...when I saw that I knew something was wrong, she was also trying to hide from me, she went under the couch and stayed there, I kept calling her and she finally meowed...she was in alot of pain, I called the vet to ask if they knew and they didnt and they told me to come there and I said I will when I find a ride, I finally got a hold of someone and she came to pick me up. I showed up at the vets, the vet tested her by clipping one of her back claws and see how the blood flow is and it was supposed to bleed lots but it didnt and he asked if anything fell on her and I said no so he listen to her heart, then his face went downside, and told me its not good news its not curable and he also said that it happened to his cat and had to have her put down...he said it is a blocked aorta by her heart and I can do the surgery but its $3000 and he hasnt seen a cat go through it and make it...and said she is in alot of pain...so I said my good-byes and cried...and had to sign something...he then administered the shot and she was gone...I had never once had to put an animal down...it sucks...anyways I got her ashes 4 days later and keeping them in my room where she slept also...I am looking for a kitten...but want one like her...so I am taking my time someone told me it helps me to heal...I do miss my baby...but she is with me forever...I love you Autumn...you will always be my princess and in my heart...if anyone knows if someone is giving a kitten like her and is in the Abbotsford Area...Canada please e-mail me back at and let me know.... Thank You Lisa |

Lisa, we will purr and pray and light a candle for Autumn's safe journey to
the Rainbow Bridge. She will be happy there and free of pain. It is good to grieve, and soon you will be able to get another companion for yourself. Our sincerest condolences.

Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear about Autumn. Your message brought tears to my
eyes. She must have been very special. It's almost a year since I said goodbye to my sweet Mei Ling. She was with my 17 years (she was 18 1/2). I knew that it was the kindest thing - the best thing - I could do. She had cancer and was in pain....I had to help her. It is never easy to lose a friend. You might find comfort at www.petloss.com. I don't think I could have made it without the help from the people there. They have grief counselors-people who have lost their own friends and know what it's like to know the pain. They help you to focus on the happy times you had with your pets. They have a nightly conference and a weekly memorial service (for all pets who have passed on). Write anytime. |

My condolences too, Lisa. If it makes you feel better, you did the last,
loving thing for Autumn that any cat parent can do. It was a mercy to release her from her pain. I had to put a beloved cat down in March, and speaking from experience, I know that such tears are very therapeutic. I applaud your decision to get a new cat. Autumn cannot be replaced in your heart, but she can have worthy successors. Seek your new cat with an open heart, and the right kitten will find you.

Thank You Lisa Purrs for your heart to heal and also to help in your search for a new companion. You might try looking in your local shelters, a kitty might just pick you out. From my recent experiences in socializing cats at the local animal humane society, there are so many wonderful furbabies out there. Christine |

Lisa,
I am so sorry for your lost, I lost my two oldest, July 31st will be the one year anniversary of Tyrone's death, and I lost Z this past March. Both were 15 when they passed. It never gets easier, so I can sympathize completely. When you are ready, you will know. Please, though, when you decide you are have an open mind, do not look for one "just like" Autumn. It is not fair to the kitten, you, nor Autumn's memory. Since I have lost my oldest two I have gained four more, none of them are like either of my old guys, and trust me, I would love to have another one exactly like Tyrone (my baby) or Z. They all have certain personality traits of my lost babies, but none of them are exactly like them. Plus kittens' personalities tend to evolve - as babies they can be attached to your hip, but when they hit teenage years, they have better things to do (like typical teenagers). But I still love them all. And when you are ready, look at your local shelter. Kitten season is in full-bloom now, and most shelters are over-flowing with cats and kittens. And probably will be until the weather starts getting cold. I am sorry for you loss. The pain is awful, but it does get better. I still cry for Tyrone or Z on occassion, but they are in a better place than being here and sick. I'll see them again on the Rainbow Bridge one day. In the meantime I have many memories, even though they are no longer here. Take care, Autumn will be watching over you now, your guardian angel. JoJo |
