Thank you. I used to feel the same as you. I dreaded it even when I imagined it for a split second. It just made me want to throw up. I started seeing a therapist for months before pulling the plug. I went to every vet I could to see if they would perform surgery to take the tumor out again. I just wanted her to live but the cancer had returned and it was too aggressive this time, she was too old. Her eyes were becoming blurry, she wasnโt able to walk as well as before. I realized I was being selfish for wanting her to living another day longer. That gave me the strength to finally muster up some courage and let her transition in peace. Hardest thing I have ever done and will ever do.
Believe me, when the time comes, you will find courage to do whatโs best for them because they will tell you in their own little ways. And know that they never really leave you even after they transition to the afterlife. I genuinely believe sheโs still watching over me. Lot of strange things have happened to me since 2019. I had a really bad car accident few years ago and my car was completely wrecked but nothing happened to me, not a scratch, no internal injuries, nada. I came out of it totally fine. Itโs like she pulled me out of the car herself.
For now just enjoy whatever time you have with them knowing theyโll never truly be gone. โค๏ธ
Ah damn, now youโve got me crying. I canโt see animals in pain, thatโs why Iโm always donating to vets to save all these stray cats. Animals are like babies, innocent, defenceless, and completely at our mercy. The least we can do is make them comfortable in their short lives. Your experience wouldโve been like painfully dying everyday. Itโs so much harder because animals canโt express their pain, and have no understanding of why theyโre hurting. Breaks my heart. Your kitty is in a better place now. She was lucky to be loved by you. โค๏ธ
Iโm going to go hug my cats now. Theyโll probably just get up from their spot and sit somewhere else after my audacity to disturb them. ๐
