Find solace in the fact that he will no longer be suffering TH. Condolences.

TH, you're such a strong person but I know you must be devastated. I am so sorry about Eddie. I'm thankful that Ciaran has been there to give you sound advice and ease Eddie's pain. I'm sorry that you and Karen have to go through this nightmare - I wish it were happening to me instead of you. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Thanks everyone. I felt there was something amiss when Ciaran didn't say "Eddie's doing fine", which is what most of the other conversations started with, but it was still a shock to hear how bad he is. I talked it over with Karen but as I said to her, it wasn't really making a decision, more coming to terms with the inevitability of it. She's very upset of course (as am I, but have to show strength in front of her) but we both agree we couldn't keep him in pain and stretching out his life; it would be cruel, selfish and ultimately pointless, as we'd just be delaying the end.

I guess there'll be a party in Cat Heaven tomorrow when he's reunited with Ritchie and Millie. Viva Las Tres Amigos! Or something.

He had a good life, was loved, pampered, occasionally chased after and called a **** but always had our affection, protection and devotion. I guess in the end that's all you can hope for.

Not looking forward to the call tomorrow, nor getting rid of his things, especially the food and litter I got on Friday in the hope he'd be home.

And special note to ribbons: I don't wish it was happening to you. You've enough to deal with as it is.

Cat litter still works for human waste (helping with the water bill) and just start mixing in a bit of pureed cat food in with each of Karen's meals and she'll get some extra protein while being none the wiser.

TH I'm so sorry. Take all the time you need. Just remember that he loved you all the way until the end. It's even more tough because its your last one. You never know, one may show up on your doorstep one day. Happened with my dad recently. We lost one of our cats about a year or so ago. Never came home. We were blessed to stumble upon a brother and sister black kitty that were looking for a home and they've been amazing ever since.

Just know that nothing will ever replace your little kitties. The love you put into another if that ends up being the case is all its own. But never forget that even in death, the bond you shared with your kitties will never go away. I got my first cats name tattooed on my arm. I dont go a day where I dont think about him. But I love the cat I have now as well. Which I will also be getting a tattoo for in due time. Dont hesitate to reach out if need be, bud. I care about ya.

Very sorry about the bad news TH. But like you said, he has lived a great life and was very loved, although I'm sure you will miss him terribly. R.I.P. Eddie.

If there's one lesson I've taken from living in a house that's constantly going through binders full of pets it's that the next pet will never replace the last one cause the last one connected with you in a specific way and the next will occupy a place in your heart you didn't even know existed. I'll never tell someone to replace a pet and there is a proper mourning period but if you're in a pet household you know full well you'll adopt another critter eventually and they'll be your newest baby.
