Thanks, LP. She is not in pain any more.

Oh, my dear. I'm so sorry.

(And I haven't forgotten about Florida but I'm still in NY with my dying grandmother. I'll probably be home next week.)

[westwindschild]

Thank you, dear. I thought of you overnight, and sent sympathetic thoughts your way. I hope her passing will be painless.

Oh, Sue. I am so sorry but try to comfort yourself with the knowledge that you did what you reasonably could and she isn't suffering anymore. I know it is hard but I am glad you could hold her. I had a friend years ago who just couldn't bring herself to hold her kitty while they gave her the shot and so since the cat was very fond of me asked me to do it. I was glad I did because she was a very sweet girl. Then we took her back to her home and put her in the garden. I guess you didn't really need this memory of mine but it comforts me to remember it. Also with Mai I was able to do the same.

Thanks, Bee, for the loving thoughts and the memories. I'm glad you were able to hold your friend's cat and Mai when their times came. I am also glad I was able to hold Missy. I pretty much knew it was over last evening, so I cradled her in my arms all night long, didn't bother with the carrier for her final car ride - it always made her so sick and scared - and was not out of her sight for one second while we were at the vets. I couldn't save her, but at least I could help her feel loved and secure at the end.

It's so hard to see our furkids suffering, to have to lose them. But you'll always have sweet, happy memories of Missy as she was before she got sick, and those are what you can cling to when you feel sad.

*hugs*

Hugs back. It is hard - watching the suffering and accepting the loss. I'm very glad I have Isabel and Leela to snuggle right now.
