Oh Laura, I'm so sorry. I've had to make that decision too many times, I know how hard and heart wrenching it is. Sending you a big hug and loads of good vibes. You will make the decision when the time is right, you'll know. I'm so glad Miss Caramella is providing comfort to both you and Kitty Boo. She is indeed a special girl.

oh dear, I am so sorry Kitty Boo has health problems. I do not envy you making your decision but at some point it has to be done. I've done it once and should have done it earlier than I did... so hard. In my thoughts and prayers.

Your post made me very sad. The only fault cats have is that they do not live long enough.

I did it today and like you, I have told everyone, I wish I had done it sooner. I wanted to do it about 2 weeks ago and let someone talk me out of it and in that time I cried every day at what new changes were taking place that was making her life less and less of what it was before.

Deepest sympathy, Laura. God bless you.

Love from Pat and cats

My heart aches for you. Boo is no longer suffering, and I am sure she is very appreciative for your having the courage and the heart to let her go before it got any worse....she is waiting happily at the Rainbow Bridge for you now..... HUGS

I am so very sorry, Laura. You have been the best, most caring Meowmie KittyBoo could ever have.

Please give her some gentle pets and skritches from me.. and some for Caramella for being such a good nurse, and some for all the others too.

{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} and ~~~~~~~PURRS~~~~~~~ and from Pat and the cats.

Laura, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know it's heartbreaking to say to goodbye, but better than letting Boo suffer. How sweet of Caramella to help look after her. I'm sure she has had a wonderful life with you - cherish the memories.

Please give her some gentle kisses from me - and Caramella, too.

Oh, and Laura, how are you doing yourself? You've had enough healthproblems lately. Hope it's going better now.

(((hugs)))

We are so sorry to hear about Boo.
You did well by Boo, you took her in and were so patient with her, and let her adjust at her own pace.
Our Owesome Orangies are there with Caramella, heping Boo in her illness.
We will pray for Boo tonight and pray that she is not in pain.

The sad part is the changes it has made in the house. She mostly stays on top of the fridge with her face in a corner. She no longer fills the role of "top cat", Giz has took over that role and bullied the others into backing down. None of the other even acknowledge she is here except for Caramella. Samantha, who has always slept in bed with me, is no longer allowed to by Giz.

I spend as much time loving and caring for her as I can and all the others are jealous and try to beat her to my lap or to her favorite spot to lay down when she does get off the fridge. Amy will lay down close to her to share that favored spot and Boo lets her.

I notice every small change in her and cry at every decline I see and it is like those declines happen overnight. That tumor was hard as a rock and firmly attached to her head. Suddenly it is softer and just hangs there loose, when I realized that it tore me up and I cried and cried.... same as when I realized she has lost her muscle mass... that really tore me up and I cried every time I looked at her for days.

Soapets, we did do surgery back in may or June and removed that one and one in her ear. The ear one came back and he removed that again. It August 3 was the recheck after that second one in her ear was removed... These pictures we taken 3 weeks after that. When I took her back to the vet he was stunned at how fast that thing had gown and the size it it. He said when they grow that fast, it is bad and if you leave one little cell when you remove it, it'll just grow back even faster and probably be even bigger. He was willing to do surgery but only if I let him do in in the next few days but we both knew she would not survive the surgery with her kidneys values always as bad as they are.

I did not want to put her through a lot of stuff or loose her so soon, and decided to just let nature take it's coarse. At times I think it has gotten in her brain and other times she is so normal acting. Yesterday her eyes were brighter than they have been in a long time, the old Boo was there in those eyes. Today, it is face in the corner again. I swear, this is harder that it was watching Mama dieing of cancer! She understood and helped make decisions on what she wanted, refusing any and all treatment for her cancer.

Thank all of you for your sweet comments, it really helps to know you all her here for me..

Laura ~ Gentle hugs to you both.

I know Boo will let you know when she is ready to be reunited with your Mom. I know she will be there to welcome her across the Bridge.

[Catty1]

Laura, I am so, so sorry. Beautiful Lady Boo - after Nancy did that reading on her years ago, she KNEW she was loved and had the best life ever with you.

I pray she goes peacefully.

It's terrible that the tumour can't be removed without it growing back again so fast.

Oh my, this is so difficult. I have tears for you. I have been at this point several times with my pets. I know I am saying the same things as others but I want you to know you are not alone. We are here for you. You will know when it is definitely time. She will always be in your heart.
