I had to let her go. It wasn't just not eating. She had a lot wrong and wasn't going to get better. I was with her looking in her eyes as she went. It was right...but I can't seem to stop crying. I miss her so much. And she's gone forever.

Thank you all so much for helping us through everything.
 
Oh Rachel, I am so so sorry. You did the kind thing, right for her and so very hard for you. You were such a good momma. So many kitties don't get years of love, pets, attention with special food and snacks. But Gyspy did, and you know she knew she was loved. What a lucky, lucky kitty.

I hope someday soon you will find yourself remembering her with a smile, not a tear. ((hugs)). Wish they could be in person, not by computer. Hope you can feel it anyway.
 
Oh Rachel....I am so sorry for your loss. :cry:

Land softly at the Rainbow Bridge sweet Gypsy...fun times await you there. rb_icon

Prayers and paw hugs to you from me and RumpelT.
 
Thank you. It was so hard to say goodbye. Sue, at the vet I heard you telling me I'd make the right decision because it was out of love. I thought of how weak she's been and the pain she's felt. They told me I could bring her home for the night but I couldn't. I couldn't take her home and know I had to find a way to say goodbye. I looked in her eyes until she flew away. My vet cried with me. I know it was her time. At least she didn't pass because of diabetes. I came home and fed my others and felt so lost...no insulin shots or blood tests. I feel horrible but I think she also knew it was time. She purred in my arms and didn't run when the vet came in. My father passed away 9 years ago...I hope he and Gypsy are at the bridge together. I hope she's not afraid or lonely. Is that dumb? I'll miss posting her numbers every day.

She was so deeply loved. I hope she always knows.
 
Rachel,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that you did everything you could to take care of Gypsy.

Oh I am so sorry for your loss. Sending warm thoughts your way. No its not dumb to want her to not be scared or lonely. But she won't be there will be many friends for her to play with and treats as far as the eye can see.
 
So sorry Rachel - don't ever feel guilty for not syringe feeding her.

In 2002 my kitty Precious was diagnosed w/stomach cancer - she wouldn't eat and my husband and I syringed fed her and it was horrible...she got more "on" her than "in". At the time, I wanted to do everything I could not even thinking "this is not going to save her". I knew it was time when she didn't want me to touch or pet her...she had always been a lap baby with me and followed me around the house.

I will NEVER go to that extreme again unless there's some hope of recovery...I still hate myself for doing that to her. The cancer was located around where the esophagus opens into the stomach and I often think it was hurting her when the food went in :cry:

Please take care of yourself...so glad you have other kitties to love. They won't take her place but they sure do help...
