    Default In memory of Isis....

    Yesterday was a sad day. I had to make the hardest decision and put my 6yr old cat Isis down.

    In the blink of an eye Isis had started to lose alot of weight rapidly. She was a healthy, active 16lbs cat. A loner when it came to the other cats and dogs, but would love on me. She had hidden herself under the stairs and when I pulled her out she was very skinny and boney. He complexion was yellow overnight and I knew it was her liver.

    I took her to the vet immediately. She had lost 6lbs in a matter of days. She stayed there for three days while they ran lots of blood test and tube fed her as she would not eat or drink.

    He liver was failing her. When I went to see her yesterday, she jumped(litterally) into my arms and buried her head into my chest and arms. She let out a painful meow and then went limp. She lost control of her bladder and started to drool. She wouldn't lift her head...she just cuddled into me. It was my last hug from her.

    The vet prepared her needle and I held her close and told her I loved her and to let go. She was gone before he was even finished injecting her. This was a sudden and unexpected tragedy and I am crushed. I put a memorial to her on my facebook and she has gone to be creamated. Hubby is building her a memorial box to keep her ashes in and my Pa is having her picture and name put on a plaque to go on her box. Money has been tight, and my Pa graciously paid for her vet bill and creamation. I don't know what I do without him.



    Here is a pic of my Isis who if only her for a short time, forever left her hefty footprints in my heart. And through my thoughts and heart shall she wander, may she be as loved in her next life as she was in this one.

    I seriously just cried.
    I'm hormonal and missing my friends & family (including animals) but that just touched a spot and busted the dam.
    I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you can be comforted by the fact she's no longer in pain.
    Take care of yourself now.

    I'm sorry to hear the news. I lost a favorite cat the same way once, and I know it is hard. My thoughts are with you.

    And Scarlett, if you come back to this thread, I hope you're feeling better soon as well--my best to both of you.

    I'm so bonded with my cat, I can't imagine having to go through this. This post made me cry, and I very rarely cry.
    I'm sorry you went through this, I hope you feel better soon. *big hug*

    So sorry for the loss of your baby. What a beautiful kitty she was. My heart goes out to you and my prayer is that Isis is now crossing The Rainbow Bridge to be with all of the dear departed SW animals.

    Now they can all support each other like we do. She's not alone and neither are you.

    Hugs.

    I'm crying right now. Reading that broke my heart. I'm sure you were a great kitty mommy to her, and that's what matters in the life of an animal; that they are loved and taken care of.

    I'm sorry.

    I'm so sorry. The most important thing is that you took care of her and you were the last person she saw and felt. That's what comforted me when I had to put mine down this year. He was my special friend, and we had a close bond. I made sure he knew *his* person was the last person he saw. Hugs to you.

    Thats such a sad story. At least you got to hold her for her last moments and she knew she was loved. Goodbye Isis.

    Oh, Sinder, I am so sorry for you. I have had to hold more than one cat as I "did the right thing" and felt the life leave their little body. Every one is a tragic loss.

    Don't rush off for a new replacement, but there is another cat out there somewhere that will find you sooner or later. You will never forget Isis, but the new cat will help heal your broken heart.

    You were a good catmom and you did the right thing by helping to end her suffering. I am truly sorry that you didn't get to spend more time together... I know it must be extra hard because she was so young. But you loved her, and that's what matters most. My deepest sympathy for you.

    Its really sad losing a pet especially because they have trouble understanding what's going on. I definately emphasize and know that you did the right thing.


    "I married Isis on the fifth day of May,
    But I could not hold on to her very long.
    So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
    For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong...

    Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child.
    What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
    I still can remember the way that you smiled
    On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain."

    I could never replace her. Hubby asked if I wanted to get another cat, but I said no. I still have 4 others to love and take care of. They realize she is gone too. Salem is kinda moping around a bit looking for her. Aries, Ivy and Spook will all cuddle together...they know.

    Sinder, I am very sorry for your loss. Bringing a pet to be put down, is the one of the worst things I have ever had to do, the pain will ease with time, but Know that the memories thats Iris brought to you and your family will last forever.

    I'm sorry. I cried too, putting down animals is so hard. It's good that you could be there with her and hold her.
