Artist's Comments

Had to put our cat down a couple days after Christmas. Her name was Toots.

I never realized how fast the drugs worked. I asked to be present for the injection so she wouldn't be entirely alone on her way. It was the most emotional experience I've had since my dad's death 15 years ago. As I stroked her head the vet gave the injection in her front left leg which she didn't even flinch at. I started crying, much as I'm doing again now writing this, (Christ, I thought I was done!!) the vet pulled out the stethoscope, checked her heart rate and confirmed she was gone. Took no more than a few seconds. I am glad it went quick for her.
She was such a good cat.
I miss her greatly, and I don't know if I'll ever get over the guilt of not being able to do more for her. There weren't any options, but it still hurts...


Goodbye Toots!

*feels like crying herself* I am SO very sorry for your loss. I have two cats..and well..they are my children. I can't even imaging. I have had MANY cats, and many of them pass away, but they were never my OWN. Again..I am sorry. You put this together very nicely. She will always be in your heart. Remember that. Hug

I'm with you dr-d, I know how a love (even for a cat) is huge. I love cat also and when I lost my first cat when I was teen, it were terrifics hours... I cried... even for a cat...

My cat for this moment is more loved by me than the formely one. I know that I'll spent more hours to cry than my first but just remember some good time you had with your cat... and maybe you're going to wanna a baby cat to raise, they are so wonderful!

Why did you have to get her put down? Sick?
I'm sorry... I remember having to put our dog down it was awful.

Spirits enforce, art enchants.

Comment, to get comments.
Share your kindness, not your hate.
Love the art, before yourself.

In art honesty is not only the best but the only policy.

:( (Sad) I too am sooooo sorry you had to go thru that. :( (Sad) It is so sad, but this is a wonderful tribute to her, and a great way to reflect on all the good memories you have of your kitty. Hug

Crying putting a cat down has never been fun. my cat is almost 16 years old, and there have been more times in the last three months than the rest of her life where putting her down has been more than a likely possibility. Cats are better than dogs (at least in my personal opinion) and they're great friends. I haven't even known my cat all her life (not to mention she hated me when i was born; I took attention off of her) and her reliance on me is heartbreaking.

Sorry about your cat. +fav
