My cat died today - can I please get a hug?

[RevCheesehead]

My Binky, sick with complications due to kidney failure, died at 4 pm today. It was one of the hardest decisions of my life, but it was clear there was no hope.

I can't even begin to say how much she meant to me. She followed me into every room, slept with me, and was the best friend I could ever ask for. There's a very large hole in my heart right now.

Rest in peace, Binky. Thank you for sharing your life with me, and for all the love and comfort you've given. I am forever grateful.



Together again

Must be a bad week for cats in Wisconsin. My dad's Rascal ("Razz" to his friends) died the day before yesterday.

I lost my Ari to kidney failure in 2003, after 2 1/2 years of daily fluids, etc. It's so hard to end the suffering, but that's what it is. You were a good soul to help Binky out this way. But I know you'll miss him. Their loss leaves a HUGE hole.

You have my deepest sympathies!

[pokerfan]

88. And for those who have not read Rainbow Bridge

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

he's not suffering anymore now. He looks so beautiful and loving in the photos you've shared with us. I know how hard that decision is, and even though it is hard, you made it out of love.

[Beausoir]

60. I am so sorry. May I ask a question?

Was Binky sick for a long time?

My cat has kidney failure and this hits so close to home for me. My cat even resembles Binky a little.

RIP, furball Binky.

[regnaD kciN]

61. What a special kitty...!

Binky had the most intelligent, emphatic expression I've seen from a cat.

Anyway, my deepest sympathies. I lost Sonya, the first cat to share my adult life, twenty-two years ago tomorrow. You never forget their times of parting -- but you'll come to remember more the ways in which they filled your life.

This is the first thread that I've been able to post in regarding animal loss since Madison passed away- I've been hiding them all. I wish you all the best, and may you always have your memories of time you spent together.

Here's another hug :hug: And I'm so sorry for your loss.
