I had to have another one of my precious fur babies euthanized first thing this morning. Talk about a lousy way to start off the day too! My beloved feral kitty, Little One, crossed the Rainbow Bridge around 9 am this morning. I've had her for a little more than 4 years now, from when she was a newborn kitten. She never did want to be held or touched, even as a tiny baby. But over the last several months I was working on getting her used to me being close to her at least and when she wasn't paying attention I could actually sneak close to her and run my hand down her back before she realized what I was up to. And then she'd run off a few feet and look at me as if to say "Hey.....cut that out!" Anyway, over the last month her health had been going steadily downhill. As I said, she was a feral, and catching her just wasn't an option so she never had any shots. And while I was gone a couple of weeks ago house sitting, apparently she had stopped eating but no one told me about it until I came back home after a week and a half. It was so obvious that she was starving because her sides were all sucked in and there was almost a lifeless look in her eyes. So she started getting canned food three times a day, I had wormed her a week ago, and was having my daughter put yeast in the canned food to get rid of the fleas. And Little One was actually starting to perk up. Well, yesterday, I didn't see her all day or that night either, which I thought strange since she always hung around the porch or the front yard. So when I looked out the front door this morning at 7 am, imagine my relief at seeing her sitting across the street. But then she tried to walk across the street and that's when I noticed that something was wrong with her right front leg and that she was walking on her "forearm" instead of on her foot. I had to go out and gently nudge her across the street until she was safely in the yard. I wish I could have picked her up but she wouldn't let me. When I got a really good look at her, I was shocked because aside from her leg, she had a string of blood trailing from one side of her mouth and her tail area was all messy as if she couldn't clean herself. I honestly think that some stupid idiot on my block hit her with their car. So after I got done crying, I called my vet and they had me bring her right in, and they put her down for me. She was in such bad shape that there was no way to save her. I miss my baby so much. But I was able to bring her home and bury her next to my sweet Fluffy and the other cats and my beloved Meg (my Shar Pei) so that she wouldn't be alone.

I'm sorry this was so drawn out, but once I got going I just couldn't stop. Thank you for reading this my wonderful friends. Sending lots of warm hugs to all of you........Carryl

I'm so so sorry. It is always horrible to lose a pet. She is now playing happily at the Rainbow Bridge, chasing butterflies and basking in the sunlight. She will always live in your heart.

My heart goes out to you, and your litle kitten. Pets provide us with such a wonderful unconditional love that it hurts to have to part with one. And to see her suffering as she was...that would've broke my heart as well. I sometimes cry for animals rather than people because they can be so defenseless. All they want is someone to love them.

I will be in your footsteps soon, as my poor Pooh is getting up there in age. She is already blind in one eye, and she's walking slower and slower every day. This is the second cat I've every had, with the first one dying after 16 years. It killed me, and swore I'd never got another one. But Pooh came to my door one day looking for a home, and he was so affectionate and gentle, that I couldn't resist her. Because she was not originally mine, I asked the vet how old he thought she was, he stated "well over 10 years". That was 5 years ago. I massage her every nite, to keep the blood circulating, and I love her up as much as she needs it. Your story has made me think of how I will feel when Pooh's time is up.

You did the right thing by her Carryl. As hard as it was to do, you did the right thing by helping her over to the Rainbow Bridge because she was suffering terribly. Believe me, she's happier now for she has a new body and doesn't feel any pain what so ever and can now run, romp and play just as she wanted to in life. Bless her heart and yours for being so kind and thoughtful!! Hugs to you sweetie!!

Oh Carryl I'm so sorry to hear about Little One but as painful as it was to put her down, you were there for her to the end, and eased her pain. (((((hugs)))))
Maybe she's playing with my kitties in Rainbow Bridge

Again, my heart goes out to you. I lost Groucho, one of my feral cats on June 10th. It was the same day that I was to get my pre op done for my knee surgery. He was so sick that he actually allowed me to pet him rather than try to run away. I knew as sick as he was it was a matter of a few days, and I couldn't catch him to take him to the vet to get him checked out. I found him on the morning of June 10th on the neighbor's patio. I gently collected him and brought him home and laid him to rest under the mullberry tree in my front yard. Five days later his life partner and sibling passed away from the loss of his best friend. I grieved, but didn't cry for the loss...your telling of your loss has brought the tears and the good cleansing cry.

Many people believe that when we get to heaven our pets will greet us, and you will be as inundated with furry friends as I will be! If anyone were to do any serious digging in my yard they would be sure it was a archiological site for the number of furry people that are placed in important places in the yard. Groucho and Harpo are under the mullberry tree, KoKo is by the pond under the oak trees, Merlin is under the oak tree in the very back yard (he loved to sun himself there), Missy is burried under that same oak tree (she was a royal standard poodle)...Rocky and Kitty's remains are beside the back door (they were cremated as it would be impossible to bury two Rotties by my back door) and Charlie (the royal standard/irish wolfhound mix) is buried under the bedroom window with a rose bush beside him. As I say, my welcome is going to really be something!

My heart goes out to you, and so does my love and many many hugs. It is so hard to lose furry friends! I know I will be a total basket case when I loose Murphy as she is the queen of the house at age 16. I haven't forgotten about your surprise, and it will be even more appropriate now. I am so sorry, but I had a sudden total knee replacement and I have been extremely laid up after it. I am even taking naps during the day and that is something I never do.

Take care, and when you feel the pain of your loss, remember that my heart is with you and it is hugging you 24/7 and hoping you will feel less pain as time goes by.

Hi katlady2, I am so sorry and very sadto hear about your little one. I can´t beleive that no one came and told you about the little once accident, someone must have seen or heard something. I can not beleive that people can not be more careful with their driving skills. Anyway, you got her and could help her out. And have her get a real proper buriel. That is alwasy something. sad
