Our loss
His name was Weeble and he was the best cat that anyone could ever ask for. He passed away this morning; we had to have him put to sleep. He had lymphoma; there was a tumor in his throat and he had stopped eating and was barely drinking anything. We were having to feed him with a syringe for the past week.
It happened so fast. Early this morning he was having labored breathing and could not breathe through his nose. It was the most heartbreaking decision we ever had to make, but we were with him until the end. It was sad putting him in his carrier for the last time.
Sixteen years ago, my husband was at a mall pet store where they had various pets behind small glass windows. He had no intention on getting a second cat, but when Weeble climbed over a pile of kittens to come up to the glass and meow at him, he had to have him. My husband was a poor college student at the time and spent his weekly $25 grocery budget to get him. It was the best $25 he ever spent. When he walked he wobbled, but never fell down. That is how he became Weeble.
I met Weeble six years later and became his mama. He was the sweetest cat I have ever known and I feel like my heart is breaking. He always liked to please us, never did misbehaved and let the vet do anything to him.
I am going to miss coming home and seeing him in the window, sitting on couch, having him come up to me and reaching out to be held or petted, looking across the room and seeing him in his bed, hearing him meowing at night while carrying around his stuffed orange rat, getting into bed with us and snuggling, waking me up by licking my eyelashes and biting my chin. I could go on and on - I loved him so much.
I wish the pain would stop. I have cried all day.
Thank you for reading my story. This is my tribute to Weeble. He was my sweetpea and he will be missed. You know I will never, ever forget you. You will forever be in our hearts.

I am so sorry for the loss of your baby Weeble. If you and your husband would like to talk to others who are grieving the loss of their pets, the http://pub70.ezboard.com/fpetlossfrm1 message board is a wonderful place to come. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
A Place in our Hearts
They will not go quietly;
the cats who've shared our lives,
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.
Old habits still make us think
we hear a meow at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food bowl used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them....
and always will

Welcome to Pet Talk DLK. I wish it was under happier circumstances.
I am so sorry for your loss. Weeble's was a very handsome boy. I just love tabbies.
May the loving memories of Weeble, comfort you and help you overcome the pain.
We have all been through this ourselves, so we know what you are going through. It's hard, but it will get easier with time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can only hope that in time, you will find comfort in all the good memories of Weeble. Ending his suffering was one final act of love, and the kindest thing you could have done under the circumstances, although it was so hard for you.
Have fun at the Rainbow Bridge Weeble

Dear DLK: first off I'd like to welcome you to Pet Talk. In time, you will realize that this is the place to come to for comfort and support. I'm sorry that your first post has to be such a sad one.
Weeble looks exactly like my 16 yr old fem. Speckles. Same markings and everything. Please know that you will meet again some day and Weeble knew how much you loved him.
Weeble: I know that you are romping around at the RB chasing butterflies and micies. Please watch over DLK and do your best to take the pain away. I know by now you've met my RB kitties Casper and OJ and you are all playing together. Have fun kitties and save a spot for DLK.

Oh, I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to such a wonderful cat today. :( :( :( I hope in time, you can only remember the happy times you all shared.

Welcome to PT, I just wish it could have been under better circumstances.:(
I wish there was something that I could say to take away the pain, however there is not. You will go through the grieving process like any normal parent.
I can only offer my condolances for you loss of such a wonderful baby. I cried as I read you post, because I know how you feel and I know how much you are hurting. Just know that you are not alone, most of us have lost our babies, some more then one. Two years ago we lost our 21 year old Flicka to kidney failure, and that was one of the hardest times that I have gone through.
Weeble have a safe trip to the rainbow bridge and have fun with my Flicka and all of our babies. You will now be able to romp and play without any health issues.
I know that kuhio98 posted a site that has a forum for greving parents. You may also come her and share your felling with us. Everyone here is very understanding and very good listeners.;)
Send prayers and thoughts of comfort to your family. Also a very big {{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}} to you.

Welcome to pet talk. I am so sorry that your first post had to be such sad news. I wish we all had the opportunity to know Weeble. The part about the $25 food budget just sent me crying. I hope you stay around pet talk and in time the memories will out weigh the sorrow. For right now, you may borrow any (or all) of our kitties as your own. {{{{HUGS}}}}
