yappa started getting really bad tuesday night. she would go into a litterbox, dig around, go into another, and come out and yowl. it broke my heart the second i saw it because it meant that the cancer grew too big and covered her urethra. couple that with the fact that she could no longer control her bladder when even sitting there being pet or even walking...

yappa had to be put down yesterday. it was the hardest thing i've ever done and i can't stop crying over it. even the vet cried. even my mom cried. we all knew she wouldn't pull through but this is still so hard. the house seems so empty without her. i keep expecting to see her come padding around the corner looking up at me adoringly, or stepping in a puddle where she was sitting. it feels like someone ripped my heart out of my chest and threw it against the wall.

i love you yappa. i miss you with all my kitty loving heart.

you have to know you did the right thing....she loves you so much, and always will in her happy little kitty afterlife....shell come back to you one day, i firmly believe that, and she will make sure you know it...just give her a chance to pick the perfect kitty body to inhabit....*long sympathetic hugs* and once again, feel free to pick up a chat if you need to...were thinking of you and yappa (creep shared memories of what a good cat she was when i told him she was ill)

lol, that kitty followed that boy around like his feet were made of tuna! that is, when she wasn't sprawled out on a heater vent, glutton that she was, lol.

My god that is terrible and heartbreaking... but I think it was best for Yappa so she's not in pain, you know? Time heals.

i'm not so sure that time heals so much as you get used to the pain. we shall see. i know it was best for her, but it sucked for me. being unselfish blows.

thank you, even though i hate being touched by people i've actually needed every hug i've gotten, even if it is a cyber hug ;)

I am really sorry to hear about that kym. I know how hard it can be when a beloved animal dies.

I think animals know when it is their time and having her put down was the best thing to end her pain. It probably felt to her like she was going to sleep.

I too think that some day in the future you will come across another cat that reminds you of yappa.

::hugs::

i hope it takes a while before i find yappa part two. i don't think i could handle it right now.

what's strange is miette, my orange tabby, was almost standing guard over her since saturday. i should have taken that as a sign.

i'm sorry kym...but you did the only thing you could do...
she is in happy kitty afterlife, unless she chooses to be reborn, at which time she will find her way back to you i'm sure...

the right thing to do sucks sometimes. thank you though.

I am soooo sorry, hon. I know how you feel, sort of.

When Waffles was put down, I wasn't there to say goodbye. My ex had custody in the " divorce " and text messaged me day of and told me not to call her bc she was too upset ( which is understandable in retrospect but still..) I've never talked to her about it but one day we will.

Sorry, don't want to make you even more glum ( a rarely used word nowadays. I think I'm bringing that one back ).

A hug or six.
