I had to put two cats down this year. Those were a pair of most terrible things I've ever done in my life.

Many feels at you.

I'm sorry. I know how it feels.

Sorry about your cat's passing, daniel. That is hard and cats sure can be a lot of fun in life. Take care.

Last year we had to have our previous cat put down. She came to us as a feral and we first saw her asleep in our garden. By using food I slowly got her to approach me until after about a week she came close enough for me to tickle her cheek. She got quite a shock and I am sure that no human had ever touched her before. I was then able to stroke her and pick her up. She immediately became 'my' cat and if she had her way she would spend all day asleep on my lap. When she was fifteen she got terminal health problems so we decided to have her put down before her quality of life degraded. I held her on my lap while the vet injected her, which was a trauma for all concerned, especially for the vet. The sight of a seventy year old man in floods of tears in quite heartbreaking.

My cat specifically died on Tuesday, January 13, 2015. Her name was Jojo and she had a bad eye, and she died in her sleep. She's currently in an Amazon box in my front yard.

Losing a friend is a terrible thing, my condolences.

After I moved into my new house I put our cat out in the garage for a few days with food and water, and visited her every night. We had an old couch and a few other things that smelt like home there. By the third night she seemed like her old self and was checking out the door whenever I came in, even ventured out a bit to see her new surroundings, so, the next day, I put in a cat door for the garage. She promptly ran off and I haven't seen her for nearly a week. I'm hoping she'll come back soon but you never know.
