Just when I started to feel abit better.i had to have my beloved cat put to sleep last Thurs. She was 20 + years old.she is the one that gave me the will to carry on.shes all I had.devestated and absolutely heartbroken.followed me everywhere. Can't face sitting in armchair as she would always be on my lap nudging me for attention. I know it was the kindest thing to let her go as I would not want her to suffer 💔

you have my heart right now. I know and understand what it's like, and it will be difficult for a while because they had such a presence. My thoughts are with you.

It's always hard to take isn't it losing a pet as they are part of the family.

give yourself a hug.

It’s really hard losing a pet.

20 is a really good age. You must have looked after really well xx

Sorry for your loss. I've been through it 3 times and it never gets easier. I have 1 dog left and I dread the day she goes.

I'm so sorry - losing our fur babies is really hard. What was her name?

Her name was rizla ( not after cigarette papers😸) my mum was alive when she turned up and was always meowing. Mum used to say stop grizzling.....slang for crying. I said we can't call her grizzler so we shortened name to rizla x

Hi Skyp,

My heart goes out to you. This is a decision I had to make for my dog, who was 15, last May. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. He was my love. May some peace be with you knowing your beloved is no longer suffering. I did find some peace with knowing that. I am so sorry for your loss
