    Had to put our cat down last night. Poor little thing was sick all week, multiple vet visits and she deteriorated rapidly last night. Started as tummy issues but turned into a massive infection and didn’t respond to treatment.

    Absolutely devastated.

    Please hug your pets extra today.

      So sad, sorry to hear. Pets lives are too brief.

      That’s a tough decision to make, but so good of you to not let the little one suffer any more. Sending you and the fam lots of love and warmth!

        Thanks, she was getting so bad even the vets said it’s low chances she’ll make it. Wish I could have hugged her more.

        It was bad. She was pretty young too. We’ll manage but the house is so empty right now.

        Thanks. Reality hit this morning when she wasn’t waiting at our bedroom door for her regular hugs and room inspections.

        Thanks, we are. A lot to process very quickly. Try to grieve in a healing way and focusing on the positive impacts the cat had on us and vice versa.
