Please don't beat yourself up about this. You know, the Vet knows and
we know, you did everything humanly possible to help Christofur & give him
a chance to have a comfortable life. You did your best & that is all anyone
can do.

Thank you for your support and encouragement, dear friends.
I just sent Christine an e-mail in response to her hysterical one for today, about all the stuff with the vet. I calmly asked, Why didn't you tell me all this about the vets when I asked you (more than once) about whether he'd seen a vet about the seizures, if medications or anything had been tried, and if so what had happened.
I suppose she'll respond with another tirade, but at least I feel a little better now.. that I did what I did based on what I knew at the time and that it was because of her that that was all I knew. I don't feel so much like a murderer now.
I talked with my vet this afternoon and told her about all this. She told me I had done absolutely the right thing, and that all the awful things I'd been afraid might happen to Christofur if I let him keep going really were at least as bad as I had feared and I saved him from those.
Thank you again, wonderful people. I am still heartbroken about dear little Christofur. He deserved much better.
Love from Pat![]()

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

I think from this moment forward you should delete, without reading, any emails from this Christine person.
You did what you had to do for Christofur, considering the quality of his life. Do NOT let that person get in your head!
Amen, I agree. He is at peace now and you will see him again someday. He knows you tried to help him.

That woman had her chance and she blew it. Try not to waste your time on her.
Christofur was a beautiful kitty and he knew you loved him. Pat, you did the best you could for him and didn't let him suffer any more. Christofur's story is sad because he was so ill and died young, but he also knew a lot of love thanks to you.
Pat, I'm so very sorry you have to deal with this, in addition to your grief!
But I know one thing for sure: you are NOT a murderer! I know if you or your vet had seen the tiniest chance that he might improve, or get some life quality back, you would have taken it.
Christofur was a very sick kitty, who is now no longer suffering...
