    I truly believe that any cat or dog that gets to live it's life as part of a family is truly blessed and that she will not only run to greet you but she will thank you for giving her the best life that you could...and a peaceful, dignified journey to the bridge. Don't beat yourself up...try to focus on all the GOOD you did for her and all the other cats in your life

    i'm so sorry for your loss on your kitty.this is very very sad.
    i know how hard this must be on you.
    i wish i didn't see the pictures
    it's the way it had to be.it's very hard to find a cat a great home that pees
    all over the place for just behavioral problems.
    sometimes a home with no other pets or noises may be the only solution.
    but,who wants to go door to door all over the USA and see if they have other pets or if they are a noisy home....lol
    (i'm trying to help you crack a smile).
    but,even that is only a pot luck thing...they still may pee everywhere.
    plus,someone else may hurt the cat for peeing.
    the guilt of not knowing is just as bad.
    i hope you can come to terms knowing that you did what you had to do.
    it's hard but it had to be done.
    try not to be so hard on yourself (i know,shush....lol,easier said,right?)
    i'm sure most people will agree with what you did.
    be well.
    we love you and i'm going to say a prayer for her and one also
    for you

    Thank You Kim for this wonderful siggy

    {{{hugs}}} again...I hope in time the love of your other furbabies will help. You made the right decision. Thank God Sabrina wound up in your home where she was given every chance. You saved her life, and she would have fared far worse somewhere else.

    I know I was presenting last-minute options, as were other people here. Speaking only for myself, one reason was to spare you the hurt.

    Lean on us here....we love you.

    I really can't think of anything new to say, everyone has said it, many better than I could. You did SO MUCH for her. She never would have lived as she did, loved and known love as she did, without your stepping in when you did.

    I found it heartbreaking reading your thread, i can feel your pain, you made a decision that was unbearable for you to make, cry those tears for your loss,and in time the hurt will become more bearable, you have the other furbabies to think of , they will always need you.

    I think in time your thoughts will change, and you will continue to be a good cat mummy, remember that the time you had together was precious, and yes she would not have had even that time , had it not been for you.

    I know how heartwrenching this has been for you, and i totally understand where you are coming from and how bad you feel.,I would never ever judge you,and neither should others, till they have walked in your shoes, so take comfort in knowing many here feel for you and understand.

    I can only wish for your heart to heal ,as it will in time, giant gentle hugs to you, take care.

    I thought I could finally post without crying, but after reading the last few comments I find that I'm crying again.

    Thank you all for the love, support, thoughts and prayers. They are much appreciated and needed.

    I'm finally able to enjoy the other kitties again now. I've been spending more time with each one of them, especially Cami. For awhile I was just sitting, thinking, feeling bad and crying alot. I'm not sure when the tears will ever stop falling when I think of Sabrina, but at least I'm not crying every time I spend time with the other kitties now.

    Thank you all again for the support.

    RIP Dusty July 2 2007 RIP Sabrina June 16 2011 RIP Jack July 2 2013 RIP Bear July 5 2016 RIP Pooky June 23 2018. RIP Josh July 6 2019 RIP Cami January 6 2022

    Cats are wonderful therapy,let them help you to heart your broken heart, and don't worry about crying, you need to let it all out,.thinking of you , and hoping in time you will feel a little better, you will always have a hard time with the decision you have made,but as time goes on you will come to realise you really had little choice,you are only human and if you feel you did everything you possibly could ,then you must try to forgive yourself,.again GIANT GENTLE HUGS from across the seas. TAKE CARE.
