I do say that, althoguh I think a few others do as well. IT is never easy, but sadly, a necessary part of responsible pet ownership, and the final act of love and kindness we can do for them. I just wish it was an option in humans - maybe that is why I accept it in animals.

I had to put her feelings before mine, I think if you aren't prepared to do that, you shouldn't have pets, as if you can't, they will suffer,

I couldn't agree more. I think it was you, Desley, who said (think it was on here) that it's better for them to go a week too early than a day too late - or words to that effect - and I agree 100%. Although it's not always easy.

Thanks for the lovely comments, house has felt odd today, I have no cats that eat downstairs anymore, so wondered why I was going down this morning!! And no cats that want to go outside either. I had to put her feelings before mine, I think if you aren't prepared to do that, you shouldn't have pets, as if you can't, they will suffer, and I have seen that happen with other people's pets, and know jsut how lucky mine are that I Can do that. Have thrown myself into rescue work today, supposedly fundraised, but really just gave them some money, and had a drink and a chat!! I do have a happy post on Mon, and thinkign about that makes me realise why I do what I do, regardless of the heartache at times - that is always overpowered by the knowledge that I gave them a home that others wouldnt, at the time of their life when they deserve it, and I just wish I could help more, but think I am nearly in double figures with oldies.

Sad news, but she will be running free and agile at the bridge with Ginger and all the others you have helped have a lovely last home

I'm sorry Desley, we all knew you would do the best thing for Tiger, and nobody knew her better than you

RIP little one, play hard on the Bridge sweetheart xxx

I'm sorry, Desley

You've always done the right thing by Tiger and put her first.

RIP Tiger.

Desley, am so sorry, sweetheart. Have been wanting to catch up with you today, but think I knew already.

Go have fun, Tiger. Bless you for living up to your name to the end, little one.

I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. You did a marvellous job Desley and Tiger knew you loved her to the end. You put her needs before your own. You must be feeling devastated. Take care of yourself.

Yes.

My thoughts are with you.

Thanks Helen. As the vet says, I did more than some people would have done, and saved her once from being pts. We know it will happen with long term health issues, but it never makes it easier - in fact, it is getting harder to do, the last 3 have all been really hard. In time though, that will be outweighed by the good I did for her.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #366 on:** November 30, 2007, 21:18:30 PM »

Sorry Desley

RIP Tiger, you couldn't have been more loved xx

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #365 on:** November 30, 2007, 21:15:48 PM »

Thanks everyone, it means a lot - I let her go tonight. The vet said I could have brought her home for the weekend, but I would have only been delaying the inevitable, and she wasn't very happy, I have only heard her purr once this week, and that was when she was given a treat, so I would have been doing it for me, not her, and that isnt fair. The vet gave me some comforting words, even though she did try again to convince me to have a kitten next time!! Told her Molly wouldn't want one of those. She went peacefully, although she did fight the sedation. I am going to put a post in the RB section for her. RIP little one, stubborn to the end.

Hi Desley. Just remembered your vet visit was this morning. I hope the vet can help Tiger, but if not I hope you cope OK.

Thinking of you.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #356 on:** November 30, 2007, 07:52:25 AM »

When Paddy's off colour (usually directly after a vet visit) he likes to go outside into his garden. I've always firmly believed in the healing power of nature. I know it can't work miracles, but I think sometimes it soothes them when they're feeling stressed. Hoping that whatever happens today, you and Tiger will be of one mind.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #355 on:** November 30, 2007, 07:47:35 AM »

Thanks everyone - she didn't have much interest in her tea last night, in fact, it took me 20 mins to get her in the kitchen long enough to sniff it, she kept going outside. She is eating, but only bits, nowhere near like she does normally, and still has this obsession about going out - normally to find grass to be sick. I really dont want this vet visit tonight, but the alternative is leaving her unhappy and putting off the inevitable, and I cant do that either.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #354 on:** November 30, 2007, 07:42:32 AM »

Morning Desley. Just to say am thinking of you both this morning.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #353 on:** November 29, 2007, 21:11:33 PM »

Desley this is such a hard thing but you know your girl and only you know what is best for her hugs

Bazsmum · « **Reply #351 on:** November 29, 2007, 15:18:34 PM »

Des Im backing all that's been said and hoping that comfort comes to you both

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #350 on:** November 29, 2007, 13:55:08 PM »

Desley, thinking of you and offering support

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #349 on:** November 29, 2007, 10:16:46 AM »

Desley I am so sorry that Tiger is not showing signs of getting better. You have given her a loving home and done everything possible to keep her comfortable. I guess in your heart of hearts you feel that her quality of life has deteriorated to the point that you will need to make the decision to give that final act of love.
Thinking of you

clarenmax · « **Reply #348 on:** November 29, 2007, 09:30:00 AM »

Sorry the news isn't better Desley, but I will be praying for a miracle for Tiger.

We all know that you will do whatever is best for her

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #347 on:** November 29, 2007, 08:16:14 AM »

Thanks - I wish I could get a cat where it was clear cut, and you knew instantly when it is best, not the ones I get where it is hard to work out when is best for them. I will be staying at only one cat for a while, need to sort my finances out first, but I do have a long term foster (Who will have to help Molly eat the food, we have over 100 pouches and about 12kg of biscuits in the house!!), and 2 other fosters, so got some needy cats in to help me through this.
Surprisingly, she didn't wolf it all, although that could have been me walkign into the kitchen that stopped her, she is currently back in a normal place, she was sat on a sofa she normally ignores yesterday.
