Sad news at The Lion's Den

I am so sorry for your loss. Even for doing a humane thing, it's a hard and sad thing to do. It is comforting to know though, that Star will not be alone and will have her other cat friends up there as well.

Hugs, my friend. I know what a hole that can leave in your heart. I will light a candle for her tonight and keep you in my prayers.

aww:( my condolences.the poor kitty.

hi ElicBxn its alway so sad when you h ave to say goodbye to[oe of your furbabies but at lease star will h ave lovely company at the rainbow bridge.and meet all= her old friends too. happy and healthy again and running free. The rainbow bridge is a lovelyplace I am told and it must be true.

So I'm assuming this means to you her to sleep and she is in kitty heaven. I am so sorry that you had to let her go, but I am happy that she is no long in pain or having to continuously be treated for the illness. It's hard to let our loving babies go like that, but sometimes when we don't, it is for ourselves because it's so hard for us. But it's the best thing for them. It's hard to make these decisions. Bless you.

I'm so sorry to hear of her passing, it's quite a sad thing when out animals even ferals have to move on. Have been there many times, it never gets any easier.

It has been quite a while since we have had a really sick kitty. I still miss the ones that are no longer here. They each have had a special place in our family.

I am sorry for your loss.

cancer is taking to many of our loved ones human and pets. My dog Bear though, the vet said he had extreme arthritis and he was also allergic to something we couldnt figure out. itched constantly, and seem to hurt a lot could hardly walk, etc. so i let the vet put him down rather then see him suffer more after nearly a year of all this. now he will be there to meet us when we go.

So sorry to hear that. I am glad that you did the kind thing and not let her suffer any longer. She is in a better place surrounded by all of her friends. Bless her and Bless you for being a kind owner.

I am so sad to hear you had to make that choice. It is a kind choice though. I had to make that choice with a rescue dog I had adopted and had for 4 years in January. She had a stroke and was not able to function after that. My thoughts are with you...it's never easy to lose part of the family and that is exactly what they become to us.

So sorry to hear of yor loss. I had to put mine down due to cancer also and it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Try and take a little comfort in knowing yu saved her pain and it was the right thing to do!

I hope my cats will be there to greet her too. So sad for your loss, how old was she?

i'm sorry to heard that.i don't know how to comfort you?

How appropriate that the song "crying time" came on the radio when I read this. Those old guys at Baby Boomer Radio are psychic! Anyway, I know how hard it is to lose a pet. Big hugs to you, roomies, and the fur-family here and there.

I saw a new Star in our night sky, now I know that it is the beauty of your Star. Each night I will look up at it and tell her that you love her and miss her. It seems like right now the people in my life are suffering from cancer. Bill's son has cancer, our neighbor has cancer, another close friend has cancer and you lost your wonderful Star to cancer. You would think with all the cancer all these years they would figure out the cause and the cure. My condolences over your loss. When I lose Murphy I am going to be a basket case!! She has a mass on her tongue, but it isn't cancerous. I had the mass removed once and it was tested and wasn't cancer. Fortunately it hasn't spread and she is doing fine. But at 18 I am not about to put her through any unnecessary trauma by trying to take her to the vet or leave her with them to have surgery to remove the mass. I have the feeling that taking her to the vet would be an overload for her as she goes bananas when I try to take her from the house. She loves her home so much that she is terrified that I am going to give her away. I can't scare her like that, so I do her shots and whatever vet work I can do. A neighbor is a vet so he stops by with the rabies shots when she needs them. Nothing like a spoiled little girl Siamese! My heart is with you and Star, as well as my prayers.

Hi Elic, Awww! so sorry to hear about Star gone to Rainbow Bridge, it is so sad when one of your babies had to go, I lost my Thomas in December and still not got over it, I miss him dearly, he was always following me around the house and very playful, mind you he was fourteen years old and was quite lively till he had problems with his lungs, I still have my other cat Baby, she is getting on as well and sleeps all the time, but she is such a fuss pot. Hope you are ok and sending healing love and hugs to you, your roomie and all the furbies, big hugs. Tamara xxxxx

I am so sorry for your loss! That is a very difficult decision to make, even when it is in their best interest. We had to make that decision for one of our dogs. He had cancer, and we chose to have surgery, and the tumor was removed. The doctor thought that he had gotten it all, but a year later we realized that it was back in the same spot. By that time, it had spread throughout his body without us even realizing it. He was in obvious pain (he had not been previously), and we decided that it was best to let him go, especially since the doctor did not think he would make it through another operation.

i am sorry to hear this i know how much you adore your cats, just as i do, it's always painful to let them go but it's the kindest thing to help them on their way from the pain and the suffering, when star gets there Lottie will be there waiting too, i am sure all 3 cats will be washing her down together.
