Maybe the Bridge is opening its doors for a new arrival

Yes Gill I think you were right. She's gone, about half and hour ago.

thank you everyone for your good wishes and lovely messages, it really helps to know you are all out there in cyberspace.

I honestly thought I would lose her through the night, but no, I came down to check on her in the early hours, and she managed to lift her head and give me a little meow. It was all very calm when my vet came, he was able to find a vein and she slipped away in seconds very peacefully.

I won't have to save the little drop of milk from my cereal bowl now, nor the teeny drop I always left in my glass of milk. I won't have to protect the plates when I'm dishing up their food, or when I'm dishing up mine. I won't have to guard a packet of crisps with my life and I won't have to shut the fridge door really quickly before a rapier fast paw tries to snatch....well, anything within reach! And I won't see that eager little face peeping round the fridge to greet me every time I walk into the kitchen.

Here too Gill, Its been really glum today but I walked out for lunch and the sun came out blazing

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #58 on:** October 15, 2007, 12:11:31 PM »

The sun wasnt meant to come out today here but it has just popped out for a brief minute, does this mean that Elsa has arrived

clarenmax · « **Reply #57 on:** October 15, 2007, 11:23:45 AM »

Gillian, nobody has a stronger bond with Elsa than you hun, if she's telling you she's tired now, than I'm so proud of you that you're strong and brave enough to listen

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #56 on:** October 15, 2007, 10:47:10 AM »

Gillian
I am so so sorry. It will be VERY difficult, but you know it''s the right thing. She wants to run pain free and be that 6 week old kitten again.

My thoughts are with you and that darling pretty girl of yours.

I haven't really had a chance to get to know you yet but I read this thread and like everyone else has said my heart is breaking for you. A difficult time for you and Elsa. There are obviously a lot of people on here who care for you and Elsa and plenty of shoulders ready for when you need them. I am so very sorry. xxxx

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #53 on:** October 15, 2007, 09:54:48 AM »

I'll be thinking of you today, Gillian

LeighK · « **Reply #52 on:** October 15, 2007, 09:26:41 AM »

My thoughts are with you, I had to make the same heartbreaking decision last year with my beloved Ollie. When I look back I know that I did the best thing for him and I take comfort in all the lovely memories of his many years with me, something that remains with one for all of one's life.

I'm sorry for not posting sooner but I always find it very difficult to post on such things as it makes me feel very emotional.

Leigh

LesleyW · « **Reply #51 on:** October 15, 2007, 09:24:54 AM »

I am so sorry for you Gillian, having to make this decision is always difficult.

When my Boxer dog was 13 1/2, I knew when it was his time. One day he just didn't want to get up, didn't want food and just had a look in his face that life was too much anymore.

It was a heartbreaking decision to make, but I have always known it was the right one. He had a wonderful life, lived to a ripe old age and left for the Bridge with dignity and peace. When the Vet came, he did not even get up then and though I lost the best friend I had ever had, who had been through divorce and homelessness with me, I knew I had done right by him.

Elsa too has had a wonderful life and lived to a glorious age and I know you will let her go to the Bridge with the dignity that she deserves.

to you both.

Such a beautiful girl and what a truly wonderful life you have given her.

Dawn F · « **Reply #48 on:** October 15, 2007, 08:57:25 AM »

you are in my thoughts Gillian, as everyone else has said you have given her a wonderful life you should congratulate yourself on that. Grief is the price we pay for love. Hugs Dx

Cheesecat · « **Reply #47 on:** October 15, 2007, 08:53:46 AM »

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said but you will be in my thoughts today Gillian

Elsa is such a gorgeous lady, that is a beautiful photo - I am sure you have many lovely photos and memories of the last 20 years together.

A big

to both of you

Hi Gillian,

I am so very sorry to read this thread. Whilst I love all cats, she is absolutely gorgeous.

This painful decision brings back heartbreaking memories to me, as I'm sure it does for others.

The love and bond between you is obviously mutually there; I now wish you both strength and peace.

Corporal Smokey - that is a very moving piece. I have also looked hard at myself and wondered what I could have done differently when Chloe passed on. I may seem hard with some on here but I am much harder on myself. It still niggles me although deep down I know there is nothing more that I could have done. I found that I coped because it made me face myself and love of animals. Because of Chloe we now have 7 adorable rescue cats. She would definitely approve from her elevated position looking down from up high.

What a beautiful girl she is and what a lovely picture of her. Again..I'm so sorry Gillian

Reynard · « **Reply #43 on:** October 14, 2007, 22:00:28 PM »

It's a hard decision to make, Gillian. Am thinking of you and the beautiful Elsa.

Ann Clarke (Tabby cat) · « **Reply #42 on:** October 14, 2007, 21:52:19 PM »

Oh Gillian I am so sorry, like others I am in tears now. Elsa is a beautiful girl and she has had a wonderful life with you, you know her best and will know if it is that time. I'm thinking of you and wishing you love and strength, she will always be with you and will be waiting for you at the Bridge

Take care and gentle head rubs to darling Elsa

berties mum · « **Reply #41 on:** October 14, 2007, 20:57:02 PM »

Thinking of you Gillian. I dread ever having to make this decision for any of my three but hope I would do the kindest thing - and I'm sure you will too

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #40 on:** October 14, 2007, 20:55:06 PM »

She is beautiful Gillian and Elsa is a lovely name. Am very sorry you are having to go through this. I went through something very similar 10 years ago with Dingle. She was same age. I remember very well how upsetting it was but I took great comfort later on in remembering what a good life she had. Thinking of you.
