I am so terribly sorry on the loss of your beloved Snuggles. He was a gorgeous boy with such magnificent feet.

Your story had me sitting here with tears rolling down my face as I also lost a beloved cat 10 months ago from a routine teeth cleaning. My Katie girl had just turned 14 years old and went in for a teeth cleaning and also had to have two of her teeth pulled. Had all the routine blood test and check up and she was a healthy girl apart from her teeth. Unfortunately, she had a stroke from being put under. She was kept in the hospital under observation as they didn't know if this was going to be temporary or not. Four days later, upon having another stroke and her condition worsened, I had to make the hardest decision that all pet lovers hate to make. I ended her suffering.

Yes, I know, as we all do on Pet Talk, the pain that you are going through and you will never hear the words, "It's only a cat" from us. Our animals are family to us.
You may not think so right now, but the pain will gradually ease from day to day. I also was a basket case for months as my Katie, Katie Pretty Lady was my velcro cat and I still miss her terribly. Allow yourself to go through the grief. When you feel you cannot cope, come here and talk to us or to the Pet Loss website about it. Talking your feelings out will help you.
Treasure the loving memories you have of your Snuggles. It's never easy having to say goodbye to a beloved pet. This tough time will end. Just know in your heart that you don't need to go it alone. We will always be here for you.

Rest in Peace dear Snuggles, you were greatly loved and will never be forgotten.
