Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2004Pussykins RIP
Pussykins, at the age of nearly 21, was pushed gently into "cat heaven" by our vet today. She had not been eating for nearly ten days and the vet finaly said that she had nothing left to offer her. We agreed to give her the "final" injection and terminate her suffering. I felt such a traitor as she trustingly "bumped" my nose and hands before she drifted off to sleep and finally stopped breathing. She came to us in 1983 as a tiny kitten and from the very start made it clear that she was in charge. It was clear to her that our bed was hers as well. She noted that we probably needed feeding and contributed with presents of live voles in the small hours of the morning. Her three kittens have all pre-deceased her. Going home this evening and not being greeted by her welcoming "purrr-miaow" noise is going to be very hard.It is very strange how attached you can get to a cat, but I hope that in a few weeks I will be able to look back in happiness on our long and varied companionship and the worry of the last few weeks and the trauma of today will slowly fade. With apologies for sharing my grief with you /mike -- "Michael Williams" <w_mc10@onetel.net.uk> wrote <snip beautiful tribute> > With apologies for sharing my grief with you No apologies necessary, Mike!

Karen Never apologize for grief. It means you loved her. She sounds like a wonderful cat that had a long loving life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with making her death peaceful, so do not feel guilty. It was a final gift to her so she need not suffer with her body not able to function. Time will ease the pain but her love is everlasting. Many hugs Karen > Pussykins, at the age of nearly 21, was pushed gently into "cat heaven" > by our vet today.

That's a wonderfully long lifespan. Any chance of sharing a picture or two? Art > We agreed to give her the "final" injection and terminate her > suffering. Ifelt such a traitor as she trustingly "bumped" my > nose and hands before she drifted off to sleep and finally > stopped breathing. You weren't a traitor - you were freeing her. And maybe she bumped your nose and hands to say thank you! I also lost a cat at age 21. One thing that helped me with that was thinking about what a long and wonderful life she had. She didn't die tragically at all, and neither did your kitty. But it's still very sad to lose a long-time friend and companion. Thanks for sharing your tribute to her, and please don't feel sorry for doing it. That's what we're here for! Joyce Yes, grieving is good for the soul. Then you will be free to remember the good times. We will light a candle for Pussykins safe journey to the RB. She lived a long and loved life.
