So sorry to hear about your Kitty! I understand how you feel, been there... many times. Its heartbreaking, my pets are family too.

And for you with surgery stress it is such bad timing. But keep thinking about her... right now she needs you.. maybe to do something that hurts you but will help her... Believe me I have gone to major lengths to save and try to 'cure" alot of mine over the years, but I always promised them I would look after them and sometimes looking after means letting them have peace. Its a hard decision but its the most important and really sometimes its the best for them, yes we suffer after they are gone, but they are painfree and I picture them up there lazing around on the clouds with all their friends that went first.

My heart is with you in this sad time

So sorry to hear this smoggy!

I'm sorry to hear about your Kitty I'm very attached to my cats too and have been in that difficult decision as well. You are both in my prayers.

So sorry to hear this I hope kitty gets better and your surgery goes well.

My heart and prayers go out to you today, I am a cat fanatic and to have such an important part of your family in that kitty makes it all that much harder. I have 2 younger cats but I also have a 12 year old lab that has been a part of our family since he was literally born and it is so hard to watch them get older. Like losing a a literal part of your family! Just know that what ever decision you make it is the right one, your heart is the only thing that can tell you what is right and time at this point =)

Thanks for the all the support, you lot are AWESOME xox

Hi Smoggy...how are you holding up? I'll be thinking about you tomorrow!

I'm OK- doesn't seem real! I sat at the vet today and brushed my kitty and she was quite responsive so it made me feel a bit better about her. They will do more blood tests tomorrow and I'll call on my way to surgery.

I'm so glad to hear your kitty is doing better! Everything is going to be fine tomorrow. I'm sending well wishes from thousands of miles away in Texas!
