bluebird, I was visiting my sister today and she brought up a cat I had a dozen years ago. He was my best friend a very special little guy. All of the sudden, I started crying and she looked shocked. Next week is my wife's birthday and that's part of the way I feel but it's also the connection between that cat, Diane, and myself. I have that same reaction to movies and television shows we watched together, the music we shared, and places we visited. Her birthday will be really hard but there is actually no day that is not difficult at times. If I lost one of the cats I have now, I would lose another connection to the life we shared together. It would be devastating and no one in my family would understand. Take care of yourself, bluebird, and God grant peace to all of you here. Thank you each for understanding and talking about your feelings. It helps some to know I'm not alone in the way I feel.
Well the vet did come and put Benny (our cat) to sleep on July 10th. It's sad, I'm sad, because I miss him and love him for himself, and also because he is a link to my husband, but it went as well as it could. When the vet got here I asked her to please have a look at him to determine if this was really the right thing to do; she did, and she said she believed it was. He had lost more weight (about another 2 pounds in 2 weeks, and he only ever weight about 11 pounds at his heaviest), as he was hardly eating anything, maybe a couple of mouthfuls of food per day, and he was dehydrated (he was drinking, but not enough), and you could just see that he didn't feel well.
So we went ahead with it. My sister was here to support me. At least I was able to hold Benny when the vet gave him the first shot, which just makes him comfortably go unconscious over the course of a few minutes, without anxiety or fear or pain. So I just held him and hugged him, petting him and told him how much I love him and what a good boy he is, and to go to his Daddy and sister (our little girl cat Summer, who passed 8 or 10 years ago). After a few minutes he was unconscious, then the vet gave him the other shot, but he didn't feel it, he wasn't aware (the vet said he was completely unconscious; she could have performed surgery and he wouldn't have felt anything or been aware of anything). I kept talking to him and petting him anyway, until he passed.
I'm sad about him not being here, and I love him and miss him very much, just as I do our cat Summer and of course my husband. I can't get used to him not being here; There has been a cat in my life for the past 15 or so years, and I keep thinking "Oh, I need to feed Benny", or "Where's Benny? I want to go love on him and pet him", stuff like that. The house is so empty and quiet and dead now.
I am reading everyone's thoughts today. I am feeling lonely today. Guess I've been busy a couple days this week, but it always hits me on the day after I've been so busy with other people. I miss having Joe here to share my thoughts, or, to share time just sitting with me.....in his chair next to mine. Didn't sleep well last night.
sorry to complain, but today has been very lonely. It's Sunday, so I guess everyone is busy with their lives,...... and that's ok! So I came to this site just to express my feelings. Thanks for listening.
Morgan,
I feel the same as you, hate waking up each morning without him.
Please come and get me baby.......please.
