So so so Sorry for your loss. I wish for warm sweet memories to replace the pain your heart. Hugs for you!

From another Thread on ECF, posted at 2:32am Central Time (technically qualifies as "weekend"):
"I have just returned from the 24/7 Emergency Med Vet, where I had my last sweetie pie kitty cat put to sleep at @ 1:00am.
It was probably pancreatitis; it came on suddenly this evening, hit him like a freight train, and there was simply no way to ease his obvious and considerable suffering.
No more suffering, no more pain for the sweetest little Doodle-bug cat on the planet. I thank God for allowing me to have him, and his constant company and sugar, for nearly 17 years.
No more suffering. No more pain."
And this evening:
"Thank you everyone. I am simply devastated. I am now utterly alone, and cat-less for the first time since the mid-1980s.
Huge upheavals now in store for me this year. I have NO idea how I will manage to get it all done. This week, however, I shall mostly just stay in bed.
Thank you all again."
Over and out, gang. For a while.![]()
