Acceptance...

[LearningToLetGo]

A couple years ago, I spent a bit of time in hospital. Those were difficult days for which I am grateful since they taught me to accept my own mortality.

This year my beloved house cat has grown quite ill. Doctors say it's likely intestinal lymphoma. He's lost approximately 50% of his body weight, can't jump anymore and can barely walk. His days are few.

This experience is teaching me to accept the mortality of others, which is proving difficult indeed.

Thank you. This means a lot.

I pray for guidance and am prepared to make the choice to euthanize him if I sense he's suffering. Currently he's just tired all the time.

Just spoil him and love on him, treasuring the time you now have.

My condolences.

We also have a beloved cat.

At my age, I have burried all my grand parents, parents, uncles, aunts and a grandchild. Life is indeed hard.

If we live long enough, we will se a lot of things in life that we do not like or want to see.

Praying for you LearningToLetGo and for your beloved cat. I know it is heartbreaking to even think of saying goodbye one day. The precious animals are part of our family, we love then and know they love you back.

Make every day precious.
God Bless

Hello LearningToLetGo;

That's tough, brother. My aunt's cats all had a unique bond and relationship with her. I have personally seen her loss so I'm sensitive to what you're going through.

It's been decades since we owned pets but our family have their own cats, dogs and a couple of birds. We've accepted the outcome of our lives and make the most of our daily relationships with others including their beloved cats, dogs and birds.

God bless you, LearningToLetGo.

I have started giving my poor cat daily baths with baby wipes since he's unable to groom himself anymore. These are now our precious moments.

 

[Cosia]

That is a good idea LearningToLetGo it will give him some comfort.
Is he called Bootsy?

God Bless You and your cat.

 

[LearningToLetGo]

Is he called Bootsy?

He is called Teenage Bootsy.

My cat lost his ability to walk or stand. He still eats, and happily so, but cancer is taking him. Days, possibly hours remain.

My beautiful boy is dying.

 

[Cosia]

sending prayers for you and Teenage Bootsy. Is he still pain free?

I know this is a terrible time for you.
God is there with you both.
God Bless LearningToLetGo

[Cosia]

So sorry LearningToLetGo
It is heart breaking to say goodbye. He is not suffering, and free from all things bad.

Thank you for loving him so much. He was blessed.

Praying for you and your wife, in your loss.
God Bless you both.
