Wow. Poor Anakin and yeah they never appreciate all we go through for them but then I don't think they get it poor things. My kitty would hold a grudge for a couple days after being at the vet but the night we let her go she just curled close and drifted away. Very hard.
See it was super hard with my sisters cat Phoebe. She had hypothyroid which the vet told us that tumors are not related too but they really are. A cat can get tumors when they have that condition.
Phoebe came to wake me up for breakfast early on Saturday but by noon she was hiding behind things and curling up and barely responding. It just wasn't like her to completely hid. She was more of a wherever you are type of cat. We knew then.
I also never wanted to reach that point with Sydney. I didn't want to find her either. That would have been too hard.
Sounds like Tishan has had a nice long life. You are definitely doing what is best for her and that is something you have to take some kind of comfort in even if it isn't the best kind of comfort.
I don't know. I hate that the babies have to suffer and sometimes that their lives are so short.
*hugs* Make sure to let your other babies comfort you. They are joy and they can help make this sadness a little easier to bare.
*HUGS* people said I would know and I kept thinking, 'I DONT KNOW' but then the time came and I did know. I does help even though it is so very hard to let them go. I know people who say they will never get another animal because it hurt too much to lose them but the joy they bring to my life makes it worth the pain and heartache. But I'm not going to be getting another any time soon. I think 4 is a good number. I definitely hope Cashel (Tishan's littermate and 17.5) can stay healthy for a year, I can't deal with this again.
I just haven't wanted to get another animal because they are so dependent on you and I do feel I can devote that time right now. Which is sad because I wanted a furry baby.
I do have the strays outside which did let me pet them a little last night but I want to cuddle them.
Well you do have 4. That is a lot of cat and they should keep you sufficiently covered in the kitty love department.
It's just there are those who don't want anything to do with another animal, theirs or otherwise, after the death of one of them.
My sister was like that. When her Phoebe died, my Sydney tried cuddling her and she wanted no part of it. My sister was around Sydney the whole of her life and Syd didn't get why auntie didn't want her especially when she missed her own sister too.
My sister got over it but I've seen it happen too much. That's all I meant.
