ok… normally I don’t post.but… I had to say something becasue I am sad and can’t sleep…
I had to put my cat down yesterday. Her real name was Rascal, but I’ve called her Mama for the last 16 or so years. She would of turned 19 next month. I’ve had her since she was 2 months old.
That’s all… Just sad, can’t sleep and I wish she was here to cuddle with me.

Dude - this most be one of the most nausiating (that isn’t spelled right) experiences that anyone has to go through.
I feel you…I don’t which is worst, the drive to do it or the drive home from doing it…
My sincere condolences…been there and done that. It will get better for you…
So sorry to hear about Mama. It’s the toughest part of being a pet owner. I put my bpy Slurpee down last year and I was a wreck.
It sounds like Mama had a great life with you!
I am so so sorry. Mama had a great long life with you. All of us animal loves understand how hard this is. We are lucky to have them while we do.
It sounds like you kept a really nice home for your cat for a long time. Sorry for your loss.

Thank-you everyone. I just had to say something out loud.
Remember the good times , she’s not hurting anymore . Grieve in your own time , get another cat .
Life goes on , be thankful for the times you shared … Sad for sure .
oh my gosh, so sorry lana, that really sucks.
i hope you find another wonderful love very soon.
bless your heart.
I’m sorry to hear that. Sounds like she got to have a long and happy life with you.
I’m really sorry to hear about Mama. I’m sure you did what was right for her, and she is in a better place now. Good luck with moving on. I’m sure there are a lot of good memories you can dwell upon - and there are plenty of new kittens out there 
19 years is pretty amazing
Hang in there. I’ve got 2 real old ones now (pushing 18 years) and the history of my life is measured by cats. These two cats “knew” their predecessors (who lasted 18 years) and so my life is measured by connectivity to cats. I’m dreading the next year or so as I will undoubtedly end up short a cat or two; but on the flip side, when one “moves on” there is always another one waiting in the wings (or more accurately, out there somewhere) that will wander in, check us out, approve, and then will move in for a comfortable 18 years.
My heart goes out to you, I know how this feels…take one day at a time!! ((hugs))
While a “new” cat will never be a replacement, there are lots of unwanted animals out there in this economic environment. I feel for you yet you must remind yourself that she did have a great 19 years with you. Cats are awesome and I love mine, but told myself that when the day comes I will open up the door for another one. Not a replacement but one that will enjoy a great life.
best wishes and take care,
Daniel
That is too sad, hope you find comfort in the fact that you did very well for this pet and it loved you for it,

I feel your pain. I had to put down a 16 year old cat I had since he was just a kitten. you never forget a wonderful companion.
my advice: mourn. then get a new pet.
sorry for your loss.
Thanks everyone.
Well Pete (husband) and I have always wanted a dog aswell. So tonight we bought a dog. A litttle 8 week old BOston Terrier. I hope to have many, many years with this new pet. My cat will always be in my heart, but man, this empty house is the worst.
Congrats! A house without a 4 footed friend is too quiet.
We have a rule on this forum. Whenever discussing your animals pictures are required. I’d love to see Mama as well as the new addition.
There definitely better be pictures up in the morning!!!
