Michelle - I am SO sorry to hear this. When it rains...
Big hugs to you and Corey.

Just wanted to thank everyone so much for their kind thoughts and comforting words. Yesterday was not fun, to say the least of it, but your warmth and empathy made a difference. Thank you all!! Corey and I are confident that we did the right thing for Freddie, and while that knowledge isn't especially helpful now, we're certain it will make the healing process easier in time.

When you're ready Michelle, something that I found to be healing was to get a Christmas tree ornament that looked like our kitty. It even had angel wings and a halo. He is with me every Christmas for the rest of my life, and I love that.
If you ever need a virtual shoulder to cry on, don't hesitate to message me. XOXO

Aw sarah what a lovely idea it made me cry x

Michelle, I am so sorry to hear about your beloved kitty! Hugs to you and Corey.

Oh Michelle, I just read this thread now (I get behind on googlereader a lot). So sorry to hear about your kitty. Hope you are Corey are both holding up ok.

So sorry to hear this! It is the hardest decision, but he's in rest now.

Our cat has the same bladder crystal problem. They are in so much pain when that happens and don't live much if it is not treated. So you made the more humane decision I think. It has been expensive for us in the past. I feel like we'll have the make the same decision one day.

Michelle, hugs to you and Corey. Doing the right thing can be so hard. We lost two of our kitties over the last 18 months and I still feel their absence every day. In a way, though, it's a tribute to how special they were. It's the same with Freddie.

I'm sorry.

Michelle, I too just recently had to put down my cat and can attest to how hard it is. But like you, I feel it was the best thing to do given his health issues. I think about him everyday. We got the individual cremation, which allows us to have a little box of his ashes. The box they gave us has a place to put a picture, which we did with one of the pictures we took of him being silly. For now, I've got the box up in a little shrine that I see everyday and it makes me smile to think about how me made me laugh so much.

I hope you and Corey will find some peace in knowing he's not in pain and in remembering the good times with the little guy.
