Please don't take my cat away

Her name is Buffy. How could I forget to say that. Anyway, pulled myself together somewhat. It is a shock. My poor son, so numb. Because my grandson was not with us, my son grabbed some stray toys and started a battle for her amusement. It worked. Btw, she was very high yesterday, vet shot her up, she was all young & mellow.

She is almost 17. Her BD very soon. We lost her brother Max March '22, also of cancer.

For now she is eating, drinking, using her litterbox, is extremely loving and affectionate as always. For anyone concerned, and rightfully so, I would never let my girl suffer. I love her too much. Thank you all.
 

Sorry to hear it Pepper, at 17 and with you I am sure Buffy had a great life. Losing pets can be as hard as losing people.

I have usually allowed pets to suffer too long before making that decision. When the time comes I am sure you will do for her what you'd want someone to do for you one day.
 
So sorry to hear about the sad news about your Buffy, Pepper.
There are no words to make it better.
I know you will fill her with love, love and more loveā€¦ā€¦
You will know when you have to say goodbyeā€¦ā€¦it will be very hard, but I know you will do whatā€™s best for Buffy.
Stay strong for her. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø.
 
I am very, very sorry, Pepper. :cry::cry::cry:

I am glad to see your second message post, though. It's good to hear, that you and your son had that time with her, the way you did, today. And that Buffy was able to enjoy it, too, and that the vet's shot helped her for the moment.
She is such a very dear one, in your life. Sending understanding for you.
 
I'm so sorry Buffy's time is running out, Pepper. That sucks. My older boy Smokey just died Friday. I miss him fiercely but I don't begrudge him the hurt he leaves behind. I would never wish for a more tepid relationship, people or pets, for an easier good bye. You can do this and recognize the hurt for the affirmation that it is of what she means to you. It helps me. I hope it will you too.
 
Sending hugs and prayers for you and Buffy. It is so hard to lose a beloved pet, which is just like a real person in our lives, and I have gone through that heartbreak also.
Sometimes, the only way we can show our love is to let them go when we can see that they are suffering, but hopefully, she can just pass away in her sleep by your side and never know what happened.
 
@Pepper, so sorry to hear your sad news. I know you're heartbroken.....hugs. Hoping your girl isn't in too much pain now. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Sending love and warm thoughts to both of you.
 
I continue to be amazed at the love and support this thread is receiving, So far, Buffy seems her usual loving self. I have a lump in my throat that won't go away; a sadness in my heart that is all too familiar.

I'm devastated. Yesterday the vet told us our beautiful girl has cancer in both lungs and will not live much longer. This is the hardest thing, outliving those I love. I never got the knack. Now it hurts, it hurts so bad. Spending most seconds of the day with my precious cat.

I read this years ago and have never forgotten it:

  1. On Love by Kahlil Gibran - Poems | Academy of American Poets​

    poets.org/poem/love-8
    To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate loveā€™s ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude;
