okay

1. I want to kill your neighbor WHY WOULD SHE EVEN SAY THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND UGH.
2. You are the best cat mommy ever. They are all so lucky to have you and I'm so glad I gave Damon to you <3
3. You already know I think you made the right decision to do it tomorrow.

MASSIVE MASSIVE HUGS AND SQUISHES AND ALL THE LOVE.

I know she was just trying to help and it did buy me two more weeks with her and now I know for sure.

I love our lovechild so much and now that I am cooking chicken for Tishan, I offered him some and he is SO YOUR CAT, he sniffs it and is like, yeah no thanks. The cat food is meat based but he doesn't much care for actual meat.

SQUISH!!!

I'm going to take her outside for a few minutes to sit in the grass in the sun.

What happened to Anakin? I feel a little out of the loop here. I'm very glad he's doing better though.

As for Tishan. I'm so very sorry. I know how hard it is but you are right that she's telling you what is going on and I'm a little mad at your neighbor.

I remember with my Sydney they told me that they could take part of her jaw and she could live a bit longer and while I wanted her with me, I just couldn't do it to her. I knew she wouldn't be happy and she'd be in pain and I wanted her to be spared all of that.

So I know it will be hard but remember it is about doing what is best for that baby even if it means letting go. So I think you've made the right decision.

And now that I've cried a lot while typing this... I'll send lots of hugs. *hugs*

TONS OF HUGS

You haven't been out of the loop, I'm the one who hasn't been around and haven't had the energy to even post. When I went to China, Anakin had a really bad life threatening urinary track blockage and his bladder was the size of a cantaloup. My neighbor didn't tell me because there wasn't anything I could do. He spent 4 days in the ER and his meds were done by the time I got home and he seemed ok. It was most likely because I wasn't around, food and litter were in the living room because my landlord was gutting and remodeling my kitchen. It was blocked off but all the demolition noise must have been too stressful for him and he got sick. Then July was really hot and he was not eating and sleeping under the bed, but it's cooler under there so that wasn't a concern and I figured he MUST be eating, just not when I am around. I thought I would know if he wasn't really eating ANYTHING. But it turns out he probably didn't eat ANYTHING for a few weeks. He spent a week in the ER, somehow he got a pancreas infection which caused him to be

Wow. Poor Anakin and yeah they never appreciate all we go through for them but then I don't think they get it poor things. My kitty would hold a grudge for a couple days after being at the vet but the night we let her go she just curled close and drifted away. Very hard

*HUGS* people said I would know and I kept thinking, 'I DONT KNOW' but then the time came and I did know. I does help even though it is so very hard to let them go. I know people who say they will never get another animal because it hurt too much to lose them but the joy they bring to my life makes it worth the pain and heartache. But I'm not going to be getting another any time soon. I think 4 is a good number. I definitely hope Cashel (Tishan's littermate and 17.5) can stay healthy for a year, I can't deal with this again.

*MASSIVE HUGS* you are the best pet mommy ever! So much stuff going on and you've nursed them through it all. I know all too well how hard it is to make that decision. WE had to put our dog to sleep right before we moved back to the States and I still am kind of messed up over it. I can't even really think about her without crying.

So yeah, *MASSIVE HUGS and love*

[nebakanezer]

Thanks!! HUGS!! I've just never had to make the choice before, both Ridley and Livingston passed away on their own. Of course Ridley was only 6 so that was a total and complete shock. I just wish I knew if she was suffering, but she must be.

I'm going to take her outside now and just sit in the grass in the sun with her for a few minutes.

HUGS

*hugs* Whatever you decide will the best. You're an amazing pet parent. So sorry you're going through this very hard process. :(

[nebakanezer]

Thanks!! It really sucks, no wonder my dentist is making me get a night guard!!

I feel in my heart that it is the right choice and that's the first time I've been able to say that.

HUGS

I'm so terribly sorry to hear this :( You always speak so fondly of Tishan that I feel like I know her too after all these years. She's had a great run living with you - you clearly love her to bits. I hope Anakin realises how lucky he is to be living with you.

[nebakanezer]

Awwww, she was my baby girl. Anakin could care less, he is such a brat. But he lets me pick him up every now and then and with his hair growing back he is fuzzzy.

HUGS
