I lost my cat :[ and have a few questions?

No.. There wasn't any other option and I'm glad you put your cat down before he was in pain, Many owners selfishly keep from putting their dying animals down because they want their animals with them a few more days, You made a good decision.

It's hard. Been there many times. If a cat is in pain and there is nothing else you can do, it's so much better to put them down. My 3 yr old cat I did not do that, and I regret it. He died last yr of a brain tumor and he died home in my arms, but I know he was in pain way before that. It will take time to get over it, but it's natural. Sorry for your loss..It was the right thing to do!!!

I am really sorry about the loss of your cat putting them to sleep is so hard but it sounded like your cat did not have any quality of life left. My 17 year old Homer's stomach blew up and it was an intestinal tumar and he had the same symtoms as your cat. I know you feel guilt but you did what was right not allowing your cat to go on like that it takes alot of love to do what you did.

I recently just put my golden retriever down. He had a type of heart failure, and we had to drain the area around his lungs four times before the vet told us to put him down. he was alot like you cat, the last days. it was near christmas and we have pictures of him lying under the tree, inable to sleep, which was distressing because we knew he wanted to. He tried so hard to sleep, walk around, and play with us, but he just couldn't. The next day, the day after christmas, we took him in and put him down. It was so hard to leave Buddy there, but It was also somewhat relieveing. He had been in so much distress, and to see him lying there, finally peacful; I cannot describe what it was like. Your cat sounded old, and I know its hard to come home with him/her not being there. I Whenever you feel ready, you can buy a new cat, but I inspire you to hang a picture of your old cat in your home somewhere. You made the right desicion, and Im glad you did.

call you your community ASPCA region or call up an area animal safeguard. they ought to have the equipment to test a microchip. Feed the cat in basic terms a sprint at a time (continuously pass away clean water out for the cat) so it does not consume too lots at as quickly as. i might provide it to the community animal safeguard or ask them the place to take the cat. i might advise shooting of the cat and positioned up them on CL under PETS and positioned up the place you chanced on the cat. additionally post some flyers with a image of the cat downtown (ask shops in case you could pass away the flyer there)

i feel for you i lost my cat today *tear tear* that cat probally meant alot to you and you'll never forget about it but you did the right thing....it's in a better place now....they may have been a cure but if you had waited that cat may have gone through alot of pain and died slowly and very hurtfully and btw it's okay the cat probablly loved you and is thanking you for letting it go.....it would have gone through alot of pain....even though u miss it,it is happier now,it can run and play in heaven and it will be waiting for you

Yes you did do the right thing dont make the cat suffer anymore!
