cats

So sorry to read this. These adorable monsters win our hearts just to break them.

For whatever it's worth, you're doing the right thing and because you're that kind of owner is probably why she wants to cuddle up with you when she's feeling rotten.

It is done.

Eyes bright,

claws sharp,

tail held high.

Go keenly into the mist, old warrior.

Valhalla waits for you.

She's beautiful. Thank you for sharing her with us.

It sounds like you're doing the right thing to save her all of that pain. It's so hard to let go of the ones we love. I hope you can celebrate her life and love her extra hard tonight.

Smooch the top of her head for me. You know the spot, between the ears. While you're there, that feeling you get, fuzz on your face, imagine the deepest possible comaraderie another cat-loving human could possibly render upon you. That's us, on Lemmy, sending you all our love.

Pets give so much joy, but alas, they are with us a short time. Spoil her in the hours you have left together.

I already had to say goodbye to 4 cats, 2 dogs and countless guniea pigs. They all are special and they al, had a good life. I'm sure many more will follow (we still have 4 cats, 1 dog and 3 gunea pigs), but I'll try not having later pets outlive me. That would be cruel. (We already had 2 dogs that outlived a total of 3 owners and 1 cat that outlived 2)

I’m so sorry for you both! What a sweetie. She is lucky to have such a great human by her side ❤️

I'm sorry, buddy. Be strong. One day the sorrow will go away and you will only remember the good moments with your friend. Hugs.

I'm still recovering from my loss, but you are doing the right thing. Give them peace and comfort in their past moments. ❤️

I'm so sorry! What a heart breaking decision. So glad you had each other for those 17 years, so precious!

We had to put down one of our kittens a few months ago unexpectedly. I was absolutely devastated and heart broken and was in a zombie mode for weeks after. I've not felt a loss like it.

So let your heart hurt and grieve, thank you for sharing her memory with us. You are not alone.

I’m actually in a similar situation, although my timeline is more like weeks (maybe months if I’m lucky) and the pet is a dog. It’s like losing a family member.

It's always painful to lose a friend, but don't forget the beautiful life you shared together. I've always found it nice to make a memory book the night after we had to put a buddy down.

I'm so sorry.

Poor girl, she is absolutely adorable in this picture. I hope she gets some good cuddles and pets tonight.

This happened to me 2 years ago, so I know it's really really tough. We put our old boy Stanley down on Christmas Eve and it was devastating. He was a long haired tuxedo that looked almost exactly like your sweet Belle.

I hope you take comfort in knowing that her last moments will be right by your side, where she likely feels the most at peace. And I also hope that you take care of yourself, take the time to grieve, and lean on your loved ones when you can.

I'm so sorry. Belle is beautiful. We can never have them for long enough can we? They come into our life and want nothing but to be a part of it and forever would be too short of a time to keep them. She'll be waiting for you over the rainbow bridge.

Sweet baby. I hope you find peace quickly, friend.

She looks like my kind of trouble! I’m sorry the loss. Cancer is… rough.

I'm sorry to hear this 🫂

Lots of love and hugs to you both.

Beautiful cat, sorry you are having to deal with this. I lost my 2 year old husky during a surgery 6 weeks ago. Just have to remember all of the good times that we've had with them.

I lost my dear friend over 20 years ago and it still hurts. Sorry for your loss.

She will remain with you in spirit, forever. She will merge within your toroidal flow under the form of memories, and her vibrations will be felt in your heart every time you remember her eyes and soft fur.

Rest in peace Belle.

She will be waiting for you in kitty Valhalla.

Big hugs to you and Belle. I hope you take comfort in the fact you are with her in her final moments.

I'm glad Belle found you. I'm sure you loved each other, and that means everything.

Give her lots of love and be with her for the last moments.

She's a beauty! I lost one of my two a few months ago due to tongue cancer, which also came out of nowhere.

Give her a few scritchies between the ears from me. Cats are amazing creatures. She will have all the tuna and all the milk at the huntresses table!

I had to do the same for my cat. I was just petting him for about 2 hours straight, and I even had all of my friends say a proper goodbye to him.
