Where to get my cat PTS?

[Mobile Chicane]

Spoil her rotten, please.

However, 'hold it in' for her sake. Pets know when you're unhappy. Put on a happy show.

Thinking of you today.

She passed away at just before six. Very peaceful, she just fell asleep with her head in my hand. I know I made the right choice, but it still hurts like crazy right now. I'm going to miss her so much.

Thank you all for your words and advice, it really has made a massive difference to me.



Night night, little one.

I am so glad it was peaceful, it is what we want more than anything else both as vets/nurses and owners.

I'm sorry for your loss

What a pretty cat she was.

It's the hardest decision we have to make for our furry friends, but it's also the ultimate act of love for them when the time comes.

I'm pleased it was peaceful, and I'm very sorry for your loss

I feel your pain. We had our 5 year old boy cat Chester pts last Monday.

He came in over the weekend unable to walk. The vet diagnosed a serious dislocation of his hock. That in itself isn't that serious and is fixable. Unfortunately he had a run in with a dog 2 years ago causing us to have to amputate a front leg. After discussions with the vet, we allo felt the recovery and 4 months + of confinement in a cage wouldn't be fair on him.

I think of him everyday and think what if? I know I need to stop this. We had 5 great years together and we still have his sister.

Sorry for your loss, I know exactly how you feel right now. That sounds a harder decision than I had to make, although I believe you made the right decision.

I still feel absolutely numb, and spent the day in bed yesterday. I had Geldof's brother laying next to me most of the day, except when the kitten was being a pest to him. I don't think he understands where his sister is yet, but he was a bit whingy this afternoon. I just can't believe I'll never see her again.


Thanks for the kind words all, it does mean a lot to me.

Thanks was the hardest decision ever.

It would have been a major recovery for a cat with 4 legs with an external fixator on for 2 months, I really couldn't see our tripod managing it. Can quite easily see him knocking and bashing it which would have required more surgery. The last thing I wanted was to see him suffer.

The way I look at it is that we gave him 2 extra years when we chose to amputate his leg. He was spoilt rotten over that time. Going to make sure his sister gets spoilt rotten now.

The pain does get easier over time bit it never fully goes.

So unlucky . But you really did have to think about his qol and completely understand not putting him through the OP. Terrible decision to have to go through though .
