Wayne Whitney - My beloved cat "Gooby" just died
WWhit71151
Please don’t flame me for being off-topic here. I promise this won’t happened again.
My beloved cat “Gooby” had to be put to sleep this past week. She died cradled in my arms at the pet hospital. The decision to put her to sleep was my one last act of love for her after all these years. I HAD to end her suffering, she was in SO much pain. It’s was what she wanted, her last desperate actions let me know that. I stayed right with her to the very end. This all happened so fast I’m still in shock.
This is a very difficult time for me right now . I miss my little baby SO MUCH!.
Thank you all for listening to me in my time of need. I won’t bother you again about it.

You have my deepest sympathies. I have been there -- last year I had to
have my 2 seventeen-year old cats, Tony and Judy, who were like an old
married couple, put to sleep because they had cancer and were in pain.
Judy died just 8 months after Tony and I held both of them when they were
put to sleep. You made the right decision, when an animal is in that much
pain. It ~is~ very sad and difficult, though.

Wayne, having just lost our youngest cat, Pixel, I am entirely
sympathetic.
It was the kindest thing you could have done, though knowing that
doesn't help...but my sympathies and my love are with you...take care,
and know your beloved baby is in the arms of Bast...
much love,
Bright Blessings,

I know the feeling. And expressing sorrow to your friends is never

Hey it's ok to be sad about your cat. You're no longer a scientologist
so you can express your feelings and there's no need to audit them out.
I like cats too. "socks" is probably the only adult member of the first
family that can be trusted :-)
"Gooby" will meet Enid Vien's cat and Duke the dog in pet heaven.

I,too, had to have my dearest friend (who happened to be in the body
of a cat), put to sleep in my arms Nov. 1st. I hope that all our
beloved cats are chasing butterflies in a wildflower meadow in Kitty
Heaven.

My deep felt sympathy goes out to you Wayne. You conducted yourself
well and gave your dear friend a dignified end.
It is the understanding of my people that Cats live but nine lives and then
reach perfection in Gods eyes. We also have a tradition you might want to
explore: Mourn your friend well and honestly for nine days and then open
your heart to the need of companionship of another feline friend. In
todays world there are many, many soft hearted ones waiting for rescue
at the Humane Societies shelters.
Just a thought.
Best to you,
Gregg.

You have my sincerest sympathy. I still smart from the loss of my cat
Poupousse. That was 10 years ago. Remembering all the missed petting.

You did good, Grady. A drink of water for a dying cat is better
treatment than Lisa McPherson got while in the "care" of Scientology.
Real compassion works that way. I'm sorry for your loss, too, Wayne. My
wife and I still grieve over our 14 yr. old Golden Retriever, who died
last year.
>It died that night but I hope that the last thing it knew

The way it should be. Again, this simple act of kindness was better
treatment than Lisa McPherson got.
>I don't know what I will do when our cat Aspergillus dies.
Why, you're gonna cry, of course. The way any compassionate pet owner
would.

I still cry at little thinking about Clyde, the cat I had throughout
practically my entire childhood, had to be put to sleep after a pair
of strokes (he was 16, I think). And that was six years ago. My
heart goes out to you.
Here's hoping you find a new friend soon to fill the furry void in
your life. Once you've lived with cats, it's very hard to live
without them. Even if they do drive you batty from time to time. :)

Believe me, I know what you're going through. My cat Molly who I grew up
with died when she was 22 years old. She died in my arms in my mother's
neighbors' car when we were taking her to the animal hospital (my mom's
neighbors were nice enough to drive because I was crying so hard I
couldn't drive there myself). That happened over 10 years ago and I still
miss her very much.
You have my deepest sympathy--I hope you're feeling better.
