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...
*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.
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!

I too am sooooo sorry you had to go thru that. 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.

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.

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

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.
