What I am trying to say is...
Putting my cat to sleep
Sun, July 16, 2006 - 10:25 AM
Maogay stopped eating a couple of days ago and vomited a lot. I took her to the vet yesterday and they told me she has kidney failure. We put her on liquid therapy but it is not helping. Blood test shows her kidney is not working at all. The toxin built up in her body makes her throw up but since she has not been eating or drinking. She is throwing up foam. Vet thinks we need to let her go. I took her home but last night was horrible. She couldnt lay down because she feels like throwing up and she threw up every 10 minutes...foam... I dont want to let her go but she is really suffering. But I have to...I am taking her to the vet now...I can't stop crying. I told her I love her and I am going to miss her. She looks at me..her eyes are so sad... she still purrs when I pat her head...
Why does it hurt so much?
Did I jinx it when I posted my last blog.....

She's 17 sweety, it will be okay. She loves you and will always be with you. I'm so sorry.
My cat is 18 and has lost her little mind. She howls all the time since she can't hear herself anymore. They tend to start to deteriorate when they get to be 85 year old ladies. Sending you big hugs and lots of love. Laura |

You are the best mommy ever
Maogay is so lucky to have a mommy like you, who pays such careful attention to how she is doing. She can't tell you what is happening inside of her because she doesn't understand it. What a blessing to have you there for her, treating her with such loving kindness and compassion. You have shown her such love in granting her merciful relief from suffering. She is still purring because she adores you and wants you to know that your love is always the right thing.
You didn't jinx anything, beautiful dancer. You just shared a little bit of your love and passion here, so that all of our hearts can break open for Maogay today. Loving you and wishing you and your fur baby relief from suffering. May her love always purr and stretch in the furry place inside your heart. |

I'm truly sorry to hear of your loss. It's always difficult to let anyone go. I'm sure she's had a happy life with you and will still be with you in spirit where ever you are. My thoughts are with you.

My dearest....you are living my fear, for you see my antique cat is on her 21st year of life and I dread the day that will come soon. I am so sorry you are struggling through this but know you are blessed with the ability to demonstrate such comapassion even though you are desperate.
I am proud of your courage. Bless you. Bless Maogay. |

Chloe
Your cat is beautiful! When you ask "Why does it hurt so much?" I ask myself the same question. My cat is Chloe. I adopted her from my sister when she moved to Florida. I have had Chloe for about 4-5 years. She is about 15 years old, so she has lived a very good life. However, she has kidney failure too. My husband went to the vet and found out that she has really bad ulcerations on her tongue and that is why she is not eating.She hasnt eaten anything in the last 2-3 weeks. The vet said she is in a state of uremia. I am not sure what that means. Chloe is soooo thin, frail and weak looking. I feel sooo helpless and sad. I cannot stop crying and I have not even set the appointment to have the procedure done. That is putting her to sleep. I called my sister and told her that I will be calling tomorrow because I don't know what to do for her. She hides all the time and when she does come out she cries a sick cry. I have tried giving her tuna juice, baby food, and other things but nothing works. I am hurting so bad. I did not realize I was soooo attached to her. I have another cat Picasso. I am worried about her...how will she cope without her cousin. I totally feel your pain. Once,again, your cat is beautiful. My two cats are totally black. You mentioned that she still purrs. Chloe still purrs occaisonally too.
