I am sorry you lost your furbaby, the hardest thing in the world is letting them go because you love them and don't want them to suffer anymore. I am sure she will be waiting for you on the Rainbow Bridge. Sending lots of hugs :'(

I know exactly how you feel, Rose. I had to put my cat down two months ago; she had kidney disease and was wasting away. I cried for weeks, and didn't really want to do a lot of anything. But when things get hard I remember that I gave her all the love and kindness I could when I had her put down. I took the pain away, and that's exactly what you did. I believe our cats understood that, and that if they could they would thank us. So take as much time as you need to grieve, but know that we're all here for you. And I'm not sure if it will help, but this is the horse I made in memory of my cat. She was a tortie and the Onyx gene was perfect for her. If you need any help making your memorial horse, just let me know and I'll do what I can.

I also lost my sweet Sophie cat in May. She also had cancer, a very aggressive tumor in her mouth and sinuses. Letting her go was so painful, even though I knew (as you know about your kitty) that it was the best and most loving thing I could do for her.

Give yourself permission and time to grieve. It's the only way to start the healing process. And, when you're ready, like ShelteredShadows said, if you need any assistance in creating your memorial horse, I'll help you any way that I can.

Thank you all so much for your compassion and understanding. Even though I know I made the right choice and her pain is gone, but I feel a huge hole in my life. I've done nothing but cry and feel sick to my stomach.

My cat was a beautiful long haired black cat with amber eyes. She LOVED to eat and had the loudest most comforting purr.

Thank you for your offers of help.
