[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say, I am very sorry for your loss. I know that you did everything you could to save him!! I hope one day soon you can see this too!! unfortunately, as you said some things in life we just do not have control over. This is one of those situations.What you could control, you did, and what you could not, cannot be changed ; ( It never could have been.) I can tell you this. if you go back to that site, and look at my thread, you will see that YOU are the reason why I still have my cat. From the 22nd. there's something positive and everything, hopefully, you'll see the positive in this too. I can NEVER repay you for that, but I will ALWAYS be grreatful to you. you have a place in my heart forever as does your baby!

Thank you, and keep your chin up. 
You did an amazing thing for someone else, and their baby.
You did an amazing act of kindness by hey docking me your baby. Give yourself credit for what you have done. Make a list of all the positive things that came with the joy of having your kitty, and try to focus on that when you catch yourself focusing on the things that were not in your control. Remember, it is okay to grieve. Just try to allow yourself to have the credit you deserve for being an amazing pet  parent. here's an idea that may help. maybe, it would be good for you as well as your oldest child to put together all, or some of those pictures together and make a collage for your family wall. also, it would be a great way to remember his life, and talk about the memories in those pictures, and how happy that day was. Or how funny that day was.[/quote

Hi PP, thanks, I am glad you are benefiting from the catsite, but they gave me false hope as well with their militant views, diagnosing my cat over the internet, making me second guess the primary vet, urging me to rush to ER, blaming Convenia, blaming me for even thinking about putting him down  etc. So my experience has been hellish, though feeding broth was a good suggestion and I am grateful. But this is all because I waited till last minute.
I hope things work better for you.

Yes you are right, the old pictures and talking to the vet on Tuesday about his unavoidable terminal condition ( and DH and DCUM )have really made me see things in a better perspective. It was his time to go, plain and simple.
I have put up his pictures on the wall, will make an album, have his urn, collar/hair near my bedside. We talk about him all the time.[/quote]
