Flights of angels

I'm at peace with the decision that it's time to let Fetish go before her life becomes even more uncomfortable and unhappy. Dr. Coles, bless him, makes house calls for home euthanization. We have an appointment for Friday, January 28, at 1:30pm.

Sweet kitty, it will be hard to see her go.
I'm so glad to hear Dr. Coles does this.

:gentle hugs:

My thoughts are with you, hon. Never easy, but sometimes the kindest gift we can give someone who has given us so much is to say goodbye.

That's never an easy decision; I'll be thinking of you then. I still miss fur children for whom I've had to make that same decision.

I'm sure that was a very difficult choice to make. I'll be thinking of you and of Fetish. It certainly sounds like she had a long and happy life.

Remind me to tell you about Mom and Travis and the Wall of Cat Angels, when they took Leia to be euthanized.

I hope I can give her a good-bye scratch. <3

Let me know if I can do anything at all.

That's never an easy choice. *hugs*

I know this has been very difficult for you for a long time, and you never asked for a cat and all this responsibility!

You're being brave finally making this appointment. So wonderful of Dr. Coles to come, and on a Friday afternoon.

I just gave Fetish some lovin's.

I'm sure you're making the right decision. I'm glad she'll be able to go at home surrounded by love and comfort. Poor dear. :(

*hug*

Aw, even though that decision is a humane one, it makes me teary-eyed sad.

[identity profile] purpledumbass.livejournal.com 2011-01-21 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You have my deepest sympathy. I know that this was not an easy decision, but I'm certain that it's the right one for your feline companion.

It never would have occurred to me to ask for a home visit. Fetish is and has been a lucky, lucky girl. She'll be missed.

*hugs*

I think you have been a fantastic cat companion, and this is just more proof of that. My sympathies for you both.

My sympathies.

Bless you for a lifetime of care and making a humane choice out of love; it's a difficult decision.

[identity profile] saffronhare.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, honey. Much love and sympathy...will keep a candle lit for good days together until then, and a peaceful transition for both of you.

I'm sad for you, though I'm glad to hear you're at peace with it.

When I had to take the family dog in to be euthanized, I cried hard than any funeral I've ever been to, with the exception of my best friend's.

Oh, I'm sure sorry. Letting a truly beloved pet go is one of the hardest things to do. I still hurt for my Squanto, and that was 6 months ago. But you know when it's time, and you let them go with dignity. My thoughts are with you and Fetish. :.(

[identity profile] annamatic.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
It's a combination of relief that she won't be hurting anymore, or in for any serious future pain, and grief at knowing that letting go means: letting go.

Love to you, Chris, & Fetish. ♥

It is hard to be that certain kind of strong.

Give fetish a goodbye scratch for me,
and know that you are making a good choice before she has no joy left.

Big hugs,
Adam

So sorry to hear. I know how hard a decision it is to make, but it is one of the things we can do for our four-footed family, and one of our responsibilites. I'll be thinking of you and Fetish.

[identity profile] nottygypsy.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Such a good, sweet and affectionate cat, and her owners are just the same. A hard choice, but I'm sure it's the right one. Hugs to you all.

So very sorry. It's a very hard decision, but I'm glad you're at peace with it. I've been there.

I know it's such a difficult thing to do. My thoughts are with you guys.

You are in my thoughts.
