My husband and I are very sad tonight. We found out yesterday he had cancer. He had been very lethargic for the last two weeks and stopped eating over the weekend. In the last month he's lost 4 pounds. By the time the cancer was discovered, it had metastisized from his intestines to his liver and spleen. It was very difficult but we made the best decision for him. His temperament was such that he would have been miserable with testing, biopsies, surgery etc and there was not a good prognosis even with that. We want him to have a peaceful passing. RIP, Shadow. You were such a good boy and a good friend. We will miss you. And so will little Mina (our other cat).  |

So sorry! It's hard to say goodbye to our furbabies, even when we know it's better for them not to suffer.

Awww, so sorry Lauren. I lost a kitty this year to a brain tumor - we made the same decision for the same reason. So hard. I'm sure that you will remember Shadow with love.

I'm so sorry, Lauren and husband. The first kitty who adopted my husband and me after we got married was a beautiful black kitty from a shelter. She earned her name of "Curiosity" and lived over 19 years.

I'm so sorry, Lauren. I've been there a couple of times with an unexpected diagnosis that results in having to make that awful choice. It takes your breath and squeezes your heart in a vise. But you did the right thing. Your love for Shadow went all the way to the max and you made sure he did not suffer. That's what they count on us for, and you did that for him. {Hugs} L |

Thank you everyone. He was only 5 years old. He looked like a miniature panther IRL. Lots of tears here.

Very, very sorry What a sweet picture. I have a beautiful black cat named Voodoo who will be 14 years old this year. He's my buddy, and the most awesome cat ever. He's had some health problems but seems to keep bouncing back. I get choked up every time I think about not having him around, but I know I will absolutely make the choice for him not to suffer when the time comes. Knowing that we gave them a great life and lots of love, that's such a comfort and makes it easier to do the last loving thing we can do for them. |
