My poor kitty died in December after a year long bout with intestinal lymphoma. I had worked in a vet hospital for 3 years and insisted to myself that I wasn't keeping him alive just for me and he wasn't suffering as long as he kept eating and could sit on my lap and purr. He also exhibited signs of always wanting something. Waking me up crying in the middle of the night for what? He had food, pain meds, pets, what did he want? I think he was asking me for help to end his suffering and I didn't listen. I came home one day and he had stroked out and was unresponsive, drooling everywhere and barely breathing. I had to rush him to the vet at 1am to be euthanized. I wish I had made the tough decision a week earlier. I never even got to say goodbye since he was so out of it and miserable by the time it happened.<BR/><BR/>I'm not implying your poor Em is at the point you need to let her go yet but try to understand if that's what she's asking you for. Is that what they are asking us that we just can't see? <BR/><BR/>My sympathies are really with you. I hope having some kittens around and the rest of your furry family helps to ease your heartache.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
