Thinking it's the end for Honeybun: 11:30AM Friday time/day set

[Cataholic]

I think the time is now, for Honeybun's sake, and I am just so sorry to say this.

I'm so sorry Jenn, it's never easy we all know. My thoughts are with you all.

Jen - if Honeybun is having black stools, doesn't that mean he's bleeding high up in his digestive system?

I had no idea that that's what black stools meant. It would make sense though, as the cancer might have spread. And maybe it's another reason why he doesn't make it to the litter box on time. Oh geeeez.... why didn't I think of this??? I'll be making that call soon. He looked horrible today when I was home. He did sleep next to me, and seemed to want comfort, which is not like him. He's normally a very solitary cat. Maybe that's his way of telling me he wants to go.

I'll update later on when things are done. I'll see if maybe my boyfriend can help me out with some funds. I just paid all my bills today, so I'm not left with much, but I know Dave knows how much Honey means to me, and he won't let him suffer either.

Thank you all for your support, it means a lot. He's my Bun Bun... I love him with all my heart, even when he frustrates me. I guess I just needed some reassurance that I was doing the right thing.

So sorry you've come to that fork in the road Jen. The last decision is the hardest we ever have to make regarding our beloved fur friends. But rest assured that when you make that decision it will be the right one and the best for Honeybun-- this is the greatest gift we can give them in the end for all the love and joy they have given us.

I'm so sorry to hear about Honeybun's illness. You have my prayers.

Decisions like this are never easy. In my case, with Max and Speckles, they both told me when they were ready and I pray that Merlin will do the same thing.

Go with the your heart and gut and listen to Bun Bun. When the decision is made it will hurt...no doubt about that, but it will be the best one for your sweet baby and Honeybun will be in a better place than we are.

Big hugs to you....

Came home from camp to keep an eye on my Bun Bun the rest of the week. Someone is throwing up profusely, and I don't know who it is. Hopefully this week at home will tell me.

He seems to be perky and in better spirits, but I don't know if that's just what I want to see or if he's really feeling a little better. Hoping to get funding together for the end of the week.... just not sure if it will be possible. Funding is so tight right now, and Dave just had to have his truck repaired and took out money he was supposed to be paid for a job to get it done, so I may have to wait until next week. I just don't know any other way. I hate to ask my parents for money to do this... they'll say it's my pet and my responsibility and they were against me adopting him in the first place cause he's FIV+.

SIGH. It will work out somehow. I trust that it will. Money will fall into place when I least expect it to. That's usually what happens.

I am going to call tomorrow to see how much euthanasia is for a cat at my vet's office, and if they will bill me for it because it really needs to be done. I'm hoping that they will work with me. Wish me luck!!

Oh, Jenn, I am so sorry you are going through all this. Prayers for Honeybun and you.

[cassiesmom]

I am so very sorry, Jenn.

Love and prayers and good wishes to you and Honeybun.

Just called, euthanasia for a cat of Honey's weight is only $25.00. I can do that later in the week. Right now I have 1.77 in my bank account, so that won't get me very far. I'm not going to cremate him, he's going to be buried with Finae up on my mom and dad's farm (and where all the rest of our animals are buried). So, I'm thinking Friday will be the day.

Wishing you and Honeybun a loving time and for Bun Bun to be as comfortable as possible.

Jenn, I'm sorry to hear that he's near the end. Cherish the time you have left with him and I hope that his passing will be a peaceful one. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
