The Rest in Peace Thread (RIP)

Chula Vista · 07-08-2017, 07:24 PM

Again, so sorry.

We've had the same vet for the 20 years we've been out here and have had to put down 2 cats in that time. They are incredibly compassionate about it. While I'm hugging the cat and the doctor is giving the meds, the assistant rubbed my back the entire time.

Once it was over they both said they were sorry and to take all the time I needed and then left me alone in the room with a small blanket to cover them before I left.

And then days later we get a condolence card in the mail signed by the staff. Super nice touch.

We call them "starter wives".

I'm sorry to hear that TH. Losing a pet sucks, they're such an important presence in your life.

Tough. I dread the day my cats go. So attached. Getting a pet is such a date with heartbreak. Vibes to you.

Thanks guys. The place seems so quiet without him (even though I have two other cats he was the troublemaker) and everything I see reminds me he's no longer here. This will take some time getting over.
