Well, the deed was done Thursday. The vet agreed it was time after a very short evaluation. My boyfriend and I held her and pet Ashley as she died.

I still have 4 other cats at home. They all seem happier so far. Ashley growled at all of them because she couldn't see or hear what they wanted any more. Sad to say that 2 of my other cats just wanted to groom her, but Ashley wouldn't let them.

I am sorry to hear my cat isis was 17 when she passed lestat 15. I bought an rv so we can stay together. Just love the fur baby and be with till the end

I love my pets -- I've had many in my life. I sympathize and empathize with you -- it is a very difficult thing. My thoughts are with you on Thursday.

I've lost so many wonderful animal family members throughout my life it never gets any easier you have my thoughts and compassion at this time

She’s really beautiful. This is never easy. ?

So sorry to hear this. Give sweet Ashley a cuddle for me. Hugs

I’ve had to do this several times. It’s not easy. Hang in there.

I know exactly what you're feeling...?

I'm sorry you are going through this hurt.
Remember the good times you've had together all those years.

Poor little thing ?

We feel your pain, we have all been there. It is, in fact, losing a family member. Knowing that you are doing "the right thing" is little consolation. It makes us want to believe in both a doggy and a kitty heaven.

I'm so sorry. My girl is 17-years-old with diabetes and cataracts. I dread that final vet visit and hope it is still years off.
