prayers. I have to do this all by myself. If I don't help her to die, it will be a horrible death from suffocation. I guess Thanksgiving just isn't my holiday any more, first Bud and now Minou, within days of each other. If you don't see me around, you'll know why. I just thought I'd let you know, thanks for listening. Hugs, Marji

Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes! My little Minou is still with us, I cooked turkey a day early just in case. She's eating a little white meat and broth, and isn't in distress yet, although she has lost so much weight, I'm afraid to pick her up lest I snap a bone. She's so fragile, but still full of fight, and looking to catch a mouse. I'm amazed she's lasted this long, but very grateful we got to spend Thanksgiving together, at least there was that. Here's a picture of us in the woods (I carried her to her favorite spot), and she wanted to climb up that tree. What a heart she has! Thanks again, all of you, for caring. Sorry I'm not around much, just being with my baby girl. Hugs, Marji

Marji, it is difficult for you at the moment. Just spend the time together remember the good times you have had. Your memories will remain. It is almost a year since I decided that life for one of my cats was no longer possible. It is such a hard decision to make but it is made with love for Minou because you care for her and do not want to keep her suffering. You are in my thoughts and we on Cute are here for you

Oh Marji,

I have no idea how to console or comfort you...
I just join you in tears.
kiss her goodbye- she was so special, and this is how your memories of her will be.
don't feel guilty because you redeem her.
men must suffer, animals don't have to- you are doing right.

and then, in a few weeks
you won't betray her, if you let a new kitten into your house and heart, it will take your mind off this sadness, for sure.
it is not about replacing her- that is impossible!
it is about distraction.
after my "lübchen" was tortured to death by the vet I thought there would never be another cat for me.
but the next day I went to the shelter (crying and sobbing, but I did) and adopted a very different looking tomcat whose pranks and tricks really cheered me up, gave some comfort and filled the void and the leaden silence.

and so I hope that joy will be back to your life soon.
HUGS----------- and again BiiiiG HUG, thinking of you!

Eva

Marji, I do know how it is to loose a close loving pet, I lost my Angelena so suddenly one day, it took me a long time to get over her death. Until now I do not want a new cat..... I send you good vibes of comfort and wishes for a calm transformation to life without her.

Dear Marji,

My thoughts are with you at this distressing time. I would love to be there with you to support you during the final moments. You say you have to do this by yourself, but I hope you can find someone to assist you. Please be assured of all your friends on here who are upholding you in their prayers and thoughts. Our pets mean the world to us and are such a constant companion. God bless you for all the wonderful things you do and are for them.

Love and blessings Chris

Oh Marji my heart aches for you. I wish I lived closer so I could come & be with you. I remember when I lost my charlie with a heart attack. He had helped me so much after my husband died, sleeping with me at night so I would not be alone. Time will heal, but it really will take time. I've never had another pet since charlie died that is unless u could call my now husband one. (sorry just had to add a little humor) Charlie was never able to love him as he did my husband that passed away. I do believe he was jealous because he had had me to himself for over 5 yrs. My now husband though was the one who had to take care of things for me I just couldn't. Much love & God Bless Lillian

Oh, Marji, I am so so so sorry. I hope when I die there is someone like you there holding my hand and looking at me with love. What a beautiful way of passing. Your love is boundless and Minou knows every beautiful strand of it. Isn't there someone you can call to go with you? I'm there in spirit and when you feel all alone close your eyes and you can feel my arms giving you a gigantic hug! Love and hugs. ;)
