Loosing my companion Mood

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 | A Painful story

As some of you know my only companion through out this entire mess has been my cat Sean. I just got off the phone with the vet and his kidney disease is much worse. He has a bad tooth and they don't want to take that out due to his heart murmur and the anistetic. They could keep him for a few days and give him fluids but they are saying that might get him 3 or 4 months and I think its just delaying the inevitable. So this Friday I am probably going to have him put down so he does not have to suffer. He has been with me all this time I have been alone and he has been my constant companion. He is always waiting for me when I get home and he never complains at least I don't think he does. This is a big blow and now I am truly going to be alone. He would lay on my chest and I would rub his belly and he would purr like a little engine. Some times we would even fall a sleep like that then he would hear some thing and we would both wake up. It feels like I have had one loss after another over this last year and I was hoping this would not happen for a least a while longer, maybe another year. I guess pets are just like people you have them in you life and then they are gone and theres not much you can do about it. I will get past this but right now I am going to be down for a while.

I am sorry about your cat. It sounds like he is a great comfort to have around. Hang in there.

Wick, I am so sorry for you. I have suffered the loss of my pets also and it is so hard to lose such a loyal and loving friend. But you do not need to be alone. Give yourself some time to grieve, then you go to animal rescue and save a kitty. My thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry. You have my deepest condolances. I still remember the day I had to do the same for my beloved golden retriever, Cuervo. If you can, it might be easier to take the loss if you do it on Monday and enjoy one last weekend together.

I am also sorry, this is very hard! I am a very avid animal lover, having a housefull of the creatures myself! I agree with several others on here, give yourself sometime to greive then get to the animal shelter and save a kitty, or two!

Hugs to you!

Oh I feel your pain.. ,y little chloe has been a god sent.. you will find love again... so sorry about Sean.... I once had to put an animal down, my dog I was heartbroken but my dog came to me in a dream saying he wasnt in pain anymore and he forgave me...

I can definitely relate to what you're going through.. I lost 3 pets within several months of when I left dumbass. One of them died not long after I left him and I always feel like I've lost a member of the family when a pet dies. I'm so sorry that you're going through this right now and I will be praying for you. hugs, Debbie

hoping for a speedy recovery from your loss, that's terrible and I know what a pet can do for you always there willing to give you love no matter what kind of day they may have had. (too many treats, a chase of a mouse or other animal, etc.)
my heart's with you and sean now bud.
might be tough, but obviously you can think of adoption of another kitty who'll be fun raising, as early as it is to think of that, would be on the top of my list to help with getting thru this and without sean.
at least you won't be letting him suffer trying to prolong the inevitable.

Thanks to all for you kind comments, we go back to the vet Friday. Then I will say good bye to me fuzzy pal one last time. I am not going to replace him because I want less responsibility right now and not more. Sean came into my life by a twist of fait and if it happpens again with another cat then so be it. Everyone thinks their pet is special and Sean is no exception. He has a great personality and he is very loving. I am going to miss him a lot but I am happy I have had the time with him. When you bring a living thing into your life you take a risk. The risk is how long that other life will be part of yours. I don't think its a coincidence that most people who join this community have strong feeling for the animals in there life. Its all part of life, Sean's life is coming to an end and thats very sad but I will always have a lot of great memories of him and how he kept me company these past 11 months.

I am SO sorry for your loss - My prayers are with you during your difficult time!

Oh that breaks my heart....I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you...

Steve I'm so sorry, I know how much your pet meant to you.

I am so sorry, O, this is so sad. about a month before I left the ex we had to put down our dog of 15 years and our cat of 16 years, it's amazing how they both got sick at the same time, well, a month apart. I cried for days.
I know you don't want anymore pets, the responsibility is a lot. I did go out and get two little dogs, they have been my life savers. In time you might think about getting another cat. It's something how they bring joy into your life. Right now get through this, I know this is hard and my heart goes out to you. Oh, what can I say but I am so sorry. Hugs and much love coming your way! xxxxxxxxxxoooooooo
