Oh no, what an awful outcome. It's hard to say anything that'll help, other than in time, knowing you've done everything possible, and given him a wonderful life with you, will be of some comfort. So very sorry @tinkerbelle,
Pretty words I know but he was the feline love of my life. I couldn't walk past him without touching him. He was with me most of the time I was at home. He'd greet me when I got home and be the first thing I clapped eyes on the morning.
And he was a very happy cat. I don't know if I've ever said but back in the early days I was told he wouldn't make old bones because of his heart. He made it to almost 9.
I thought I'd lose him when he was a kitten but he fought through and if you'd told me back then that 9 years was all he could have then I'd gleefully have said "it's a deal". He's the most beautiful cat I've ever seen.
I will never ever forget my darling boy. And just now I truly think my heart is broken.
@tinkerbelle, I'm so, so sorry. Sometimes the kindest thing is to let them go.You did what was best for your little boy. He had a wonderful life with you & you obviously found joy in each other. Cling to that.
I'm so sorry that it had to come to this Tinks, we were all rooting for him to pull through and it sounds as though he remained very stoic throughout. Sometimes there are certain pets who are extra special to us and really touch our hearts, our cat Sacha was that to me. And when he went with a similar issue it broke my heart also.
We know Alf was your very special boy and we loved to hear about him and if you wish to talk about him on here and keep his memory alive, please do so. Big to you and to Harvey.
Knowing you did what you had to is no consolation to you now, but they rely on us for everything, even the decision to save them suffering. Always awful, but the right thing in these circumstances. RIP lovely boy.
Bless your Norwegian Warrior, Tinks. You gave him the best chance in life a cat could have wished for and he obviously repaid you with his gentleness and affection.
Thinking of you and Harvey. xx
Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.
