I need you all... now

post #1 of 22
Thread Starter 
It's amost 3am and, my 15 year old cat, part feral, is dying in my arms. I woke to find she had messed the bed. I cleaned up her and the sheets (she barely moved) and wrapped her in towels. She doesn't seem to be in pain, just breathingly shallowly and staring into space. I plan to spend the night holding her and talking gently to her until she passes.
Kind words of pet widom and any faith apppreciated as I help her pass. It has been/will be a long night.

Have you ever read Rainbow Bridge? I'm very sorry you are going through this. Poor kitty.

I am so sorry. I went through a similar experience with my beloved kitty a while back. Just hold her, love her, thank her and let her know it is OK for her to leave you now. After my beloved passed, I had him cremated and his ashes rest by my bed now because he ALWAYS slept curled up against me.

It's been over a year for me, and I've moved several times (part of the reason he was cremated opposed to buried) and I still occasionally find a kitty hair just popping up out of nowhere. And I know it is him because he was my only pet then and I don't have one now. So I know he is still around me. I talk to his picture sometimes. And I still get teary-eyed when I think of him a lot.

I've had many cats over the years. Each one is a special little being. It's so hard when they go. I'm sure that your kitty knows that you love her and senses your comforting presence as she moves on.

My heart breaks for you. She is fortunate to be loved and comforted.

I fear I will be in your position in the not to distant future.
