I had a weird feeling this a.m. I asked Latte if she didnt have a miracle in her to walk again, to please let the miracle be to give me courage to do the right thing. Within an hr it was clear. But I couldnt get it together to bring her to the vet in just a few hrs (my selfishness). I decided on Monday, because no one would come and do it at the clinic on Sunday.

Latte has been covered in a blanket all day. She wouldnt normally like this. She acted peaceful and different. Ive been laying next to her petting her head, which she seems to like.

I called the animal communicator last week again for an emergency session, but she did not get back to me until today. She told me latte felt she was leaving her body. She would prefer help because the process is uncomfortable. She understands I may have to wait until Monday but does not know if she can wait that long. She would try.

Someone please tell me this a/c is not a scam. Please, I do not want to make latte suffer, but dont want to act on a whim...its he life! But I already had the sense....

I was told she prefers to go in the evening when its dark and cooler. She wants to be left alone to sleep. And my watching her seems like Im trying to care for her and preventing her from leaving.

wow. Im a mess. I THINK i know whats right in my heart. But so soon? Yet if she went on her own this weekend I would be devestated for not doing it the way she would lke. I dont know what kind of help Im asking for...sorry :(
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

I'm certainly in not good shape to help guide you here.

What I can say, is that though I am almost 100% sure I made the right choice to help Cosmo cross to the bridge, that it still hurts like hell. I cry almost uncontrollably whenever I am on my way home.

BUT. I am very relieved that he didn't have a painful death. I never wanted that for him. It was my biggest fear, and that gave me the strength to make the hardest decision I have ever made in my whole life. I'm sure you will make the right decision for you and Latte.

sending white light to your baby.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

I don't know how to help, but know that we support your decision, whatever that may be. This is much harder on you than it is on Latte. She loves you and trusts you, and she knows you are thinking of her needs first.

You are so in tune with Latte that you will know what she wants.

Sending peaceful snowflakes for you and Latte.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

Sending prayers your way. You'll make the right decision, and so will Latte.

Hugs, white light, vines, prayers, everything possible to you, Carolyn, and to Latte.

Best-
Michele
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn))) (((Latte))) Bless both your hearts.. I don't know what the right answer is for you.. I know what I would do though.. but only you can make a decision that you will be most comfortable with forever. Latte is blessed in abundance with love & companionship, but has been in poor health for quite some time & I personally think its time :YMHUG: I have had to step away from my own self in the past to let a furbaby go.. when I knew it was best for her - I took myself out of the equation, but I have never once regretted it. I think you need to know absolutely in your heart which way to go, before doing anything. You need to be at peace with your decision. Latte loves you & you love Latte, there is no doubt there.. again.. bless both your hearts there is no easy answer.. there is no comfort in hanging on or letting go... praying for you both... I trust in you & your decision for all the right reasons...
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

Oh Carolyn Sweetheart. I don't know what to say to you but I want to help you so much. All I can say is take a deep breath, try and get yourself in a quiet space and try to listen to your heart and to what Latte is telling you. What ever you decide to do it won't be wrong. You know why? It is because you love Latte more than anything else in the world. You only want what is best for her. A very wise person on this Board once said that No one will leave this world before it is God's time for them to leave. It is true. Believe it.

Many hugs for you Carolyn. I wish I was there with you right now but I am with you in spirit. Please give our little Warrior Princess a gentle kiss for me and Tori.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

((((Carolyn)))) I am so sorry you are having to make this decision. But whatever you decide it will be out of love and it will be the right decision for you and Latte. My prayers are with you.

Re: Latte - Please Help!!

I had a PM exchange with Cyn a few days ago. I changed a few words so it is relevant to Latte. I don't know if I believe in an animal communicator. I do believe our cats communicate with us, though.

I had George with me for 20+ years. He was the world's sweetest cat. I have friends who couldn't stand cats who adored him. He was very special. The last year of his life he had intestinal CA. He would leak. It wasn't great but he wasn't ready to leave. And then he decided it was time. He couldn't get to his favorite place -- on the pillow next to me in bed. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make and I still get choked up. I don't know if George held on because of me. All I could do was have faith in my belief that he would tell me when it was time and he did. Latte will tell you and you will know that she's ready. These guys are so self-sufficient at some things and so dependent in other ways and completely insinuated into our lives. We're never ready for them to be sick or to leave us. It is horribly hard but you will be there with her and that will be the most devoted act of love and kindness you can give. And I'm in tears as I'm typing. My heart is with you.

(((Carolyn))) You will know in your heart when it is time because Latte will tell you. You listen to her so well. You'll hear what she needs you to hear even if it makes your heart ache.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

((((((Carolyn and Latte)))))

I encourage you to trust your heart in this matter and allow what you and Latte feel is right to guide you.

Sending all my strength to you and Latte.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn))) I am sending prayers to you and Latte that you will feel peace with your decision, whatever you decide. I think that you know and love your girl so much that you will know what is right for her. I think you should listen to your heart and look into her eyes, and that the answer lies in those two places. I don't know that you need to allow the AC to add stress to the issue for you. There is no doubt that you have been given some things to consider by the AC, and some different ways of looking at things, but ultimately, this is between you and Latte. I would guess that your being by her side is a comfort to Latte. This is so, so sad. My heart breaks that you have to make these decisions. I know that all of your decisions have been made, and will continue to be made, out of love for her. I don't think you can really go wrong when you act out of love. Your heart and your instinct will guide you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I admire you, and all that you have done, and continue to do for your girl.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

sending you support whatever decision you make for Latte she knows how much she is loved I will be honest I myself just do not believe in animal communicators but that's just me I am a very skeptical person prayers your way ((((((((Carolyn)))))))
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn)))

I believe in your heart you know what to do - try to clear your mind of what the A/C told you and concentrate on your gut feeling... It's hard, I know, with all the conflicting emotions... and don't try to overthink it. You know what is best for Latte... the A/C can't tell you that - and I have had amazing experiences with supposed psychics, etc... (and lousy ones too) but in the end, I've learned that you can't go with what anyone else tells you... You have to go with what's in your heart. And whatever you decide - like everyone says - it won't be wrong. It will be the right choice.

I'm so sorry I can't help you more - I wish I could, I wish I could be there and somehow bring you peace in this matter... but I can't. I'm so, so sorry you're going through this, Carolyn... My heart is with you and Latte...

I think Latte loves you a lot. Reach deep in your heart and see what she's telling you. She loves you and you can't make the wrong decision in her eyes... You're the best mama bean, Carolyn.

Oh - I wish so much I could help more than this...
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn))) I'm not very good with words, but can offer you both big hugs, and pray for strengh for both you and Latte.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn))) I believe that we form a very special bond with our sugarbabies, and I know the decision you make will be the right one.

Sending you strength and peace and lots of love.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn))) and (((Latte)))
Sending you peace and strength. Your strong bond with Latte will be with you no matter what decision you make. We support you! Hugs
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

((Carolyn)) so sorry you are going through this. You will know in your heart what the right decision is. Sending hugs, prayers & support your way!!!
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

Carolyn ... I don't have any words for you ... just tears ... what a tough decision to make ... I don't think you need anyone here telling you what to do, and you don't need an animal communicator telling you what to do ... you and latte have a connection that makes you one .. it's a bond that we all have with a furbaby at one point or another in our lives ... but we don't know it until we are here, at this crossroad you find yourself at ... you will know what to do and when to do it ....
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn))) I'm so sorry Latte's time is nearing. She is at peace and from what you wrote is not suffering, unless that changes I would feel comfortable waiting. That's me, though. Cecil and Jessie were having breathing issues, so I had to make a quick desision. I could see in Jessie's eyes that it was time. Cecil battled back and rallied a bit, but his poor heart was shot. :cry: You did a wonderful job caring for Latte, so please don't feel guilty about how you handled the end.

Re: Latte - Please Help!!

Carolyn, Sweetie....is she eating at all? You didn't mention the LB or if she is trying to sit so i am assuming that she made no attempt to sit today. she was so fastidious abut using the LB and it sounded as if she was really trying. Rest is good for her at this point in her recovery, isn't it? Maybe she is just resting. ???
I am not sure about the a/c myself. I agree that things that person says muddy the waters a bit. I mean, you don't really know the a/c at all, do you? So, to put what she says above what you know yourself after all these years with Latte might not be the best right now.
What she says is not written in stone exactly, is it?

So, depending on what is going on there today, there might not be an urgent issue that you have to deal with as soon as possible.
As Sandy just said, if there is a breathing issue it has to be an immediate reaction. There are countless other conditions that would merit quick action to keep Latte from experiencing too much distress.

I know that you have been thinking about Latte's quality of life for a long time now. She has been through so much. And you have been there with her through it all. I know she loves you Carolyn...but in my mind, I am not sure that a kitty will hang on indefinitely because they love their Bean.
If that were the case, we would have a lot of 50 year old kitties around, right?
They all love their Beans just as Latte loves YOU. But when it is there time, they know it. It's almost the Law, ya know...that they may not linger because of their love that they leave behind. They must go when it is their time. She is loving your nearness and all that you do for her so don't stop that! (don't think you are keeping her because of the things you do for her, ya know what I mean?)
You have to think about the way she is acting and decide if you think she is ready. If she is eating and attempting to do things, then I don't think she is ready for you to do anything. If she stops eating and moving around, then after awhile of seeing her like that, then maybe she is telling you something in that. But YOU have to see and hear her....it is up to you to know her thoughts....
You are watching her closely...today, tonight and tomorrow. Whatever you think is best for you both is what you will do....
We love you both so much and we are all here for you. We feel your pain and hope that you will find peace in your decision.
You can decide to NOT decide too....take your time and enjoy the quiet time you two are having now....sending much love and many hugs to you both! :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

My heart is with you Carolyn. You have done everything possible to help Latte and I'm sure you will continue to help her as she finds her way to peace, whether it is tonight or Monday or next week. So many tears for you both.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

carolyn, we are all here for you, and i hope you can continue to draw strength from us.
the specific circumstances may differ but we all have stood or will stand in your shoes one day. this is the hardest road to travel sometimes yet the easiest one, too, because we've had the love of a dear furry companion in our lives. that is worth EVERYTHING.
i know you will do the right thing for latte if it is her time.
i wish you peace and clarity, and total communication with your dear girl.
(((CAROLYN)))
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

I haven't seen you use the word "peaceful" and "Latte" in the same sentence in a while. Whether that means she feels peaceful that her time is coming, or peaceful because she finally feels like she can rest and heal and stop being so gosh darn stubborn.... I don't know. But know that we love you both, and are praying constantly for you.

Re: Latte - Please Help!!

Carolyn - I think Latte will let you know. As you lay beside her, just be and listen. When the decision is ready to be made, you'll know because you will be at peace. You will be sad, with a heavy heart, and shouldering unbearable grief, but you will be clear. Remember, Latte cares as much about you as you do for her. She may decide to make the decision herself and if she does, you will be clear about that too.

My heart is with you both. Lots of love and hugs to you both.

Susan
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

Carolyn - I truly believe that you will know, that Latte will tell you. Susan has written what I truly believe - lay with her, listen. the decision will be tough, you will be sad, you will cry, you two will bond, but you will be clear. You will know. And if she makes the choice on her own, it will be OK too, you will be clear on that as well. You both know each other so well - there will be peace, clarity when the choice is made.

I send you hugs, and peace, and comfort.

Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((((Carolyn))))) It sounds like you already know in your heart what you feel is best. That weird feeling this morning, and the love and communication that exchanges between you and Latte may help with making this heartbreaking choice. We will be with you always and support you in any way needed. I just wish that if you choose to have her cross the bridge, that you did not have to wait until Monday. May god give you the strength you need to make the right choice for Latte. We will always have a broken heart when the time comes, but remember to make the decision on what is best for Latte. We love you Latte.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

This is such a hard decision. I'm so sorry that you are faced with this. I feel that you have do what you feel is right for Latte and you alone know what that is because you know her better than anyone. Trust yourself and you won't go wrong. ((((Latte + Carolyn)))
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

((Carolyn))
Just prayers to guide you and Latte through this.
Our hearts are heavy for the two of you tonight.
She knows you love her as she loves you.
Find peace together.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

It sounds like Latte is comfortable and resting. I don't get the sense there is any constant pain...maybe she is giving you a tiny bit more time to hug and kiss and say your good-byes. You will do whatever is best for your baby, but I wouldn't rush it. If the time comes before Monday and it is Latte's decision, don't beat yourself up. They are crazy smart and incredibly in touch with there own limits. If you are going back and forth, you aren't ready. Rest easy until it becomes clear. I will be thinking of you both!
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn)))
This is always such a hard decision to make..
You are so close with your girl! And, she knows that you will make the right decision for her when she is ready.. It's just never easy!!

My prayers are with you..
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

((((Carolyn and Latte)))) I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers this weekend. No matter what happens, Latte knows that you have her best interests at heart...
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn))) I believe you will know in your hearth when it’s time, she will let you know and you will have no more doubts…
She knows you love her… cat_pet_icon
Praying you find peace with whatever decision you make...
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

I'm so sorry you are facing this but know we are all here for you, whatever you decide.
I think you know Latte best, and you can communicate with her like no one else. You will know what to do and when to do it. It's accepting that, which is the difficult part. We all support you though, please know that.

Big hugs to you and sweet Latte.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

{{{{Carolyn}}}} I can't add anything more to what the others have already said. Just know in your heart that whatever decision you make for Latte will be the right one because it is made with all the love in your heart. My heart is breaking for all you are going through. GLOW surrounds your sweet girl and my thoughts are with you both.
 
Re: Latte - Please Help!!

(((Carolyn)))

I cannot add any more to what has been said either. I am thinking of you and Latte. Whatever you decide will be the right decision and we are all here to support you through this very difficult time.
 
I am so very sorry Carolyn. All of FDMB is crying with you tonight.
But you are giving the kindest gift of all to your sweet Latte.
The gift of peace and release.

((((((Carolyn))))))
 
There is starlight and moon beams to help Latte find her way. All of our GA kitties will be there to wish her welcome and help her find butterflies and feathers to chase. She can sleep in the soft grass, feel the gentle breeze in her face, and be free of any pain or discomfort. She will be at the Bridge waiting and in the time between, she will always be in your heart and in your memory.

We love you Latte.

(((Carolyn)))
 
My heart is breaking... Fly free, sweet Latte. We all love you...

No kitty was ever loved more... and you will be loved always...

((((((((((Carolyn))))))))))
 
I am so sorry Carolyn. You have given latte the best gift, the kindness gift any person can give to their kitties. She will be able to run free, roll in the grass, have a lazy pain free day. She will be able to play with all her GA friends. She will love you for the gift you have given her. remember her always - memories will fill the gaps, give you peace and comfort. I send love, I send white light, and have lit a candle for her journey. Hugs always.
 
{{{{{Carolyn}}}}}
You have given the greatest gift you could have given her: freedom from suffering. We grieve with you.

Fly high and free sweet Latte!
