I found this message board while doing a search for pet loss support. I really need to vent this out to someone that understands. We are facing a nightmare tomorrow. Our cat was found to have a huge mass near her liver, and our vet thinks it is cancerous. We are getting blood tests back for her tomorrow, but we are preparing ourselves that we will have to say goodbye. This seemed to come on so suddenly. We were away for 5 days and when we arrived home a week ago she was not herself. During this week she has continued to lose more weight, isn't eating much, and is very lethargic/depressed. She has been pulling away from us.
She walked into our life almost 7 years ago. We don't know how old she is or where she came from. We tried to find her owners at the time, but no one came forward. She charmed us so much that we decided to add her to our family. She loves nothing more than a warm lap to cuddle on. I never met a more cuddly, soft and sweet animal.
My heart is broken, and I am completely devastated about this. She has been my shadow and a wonderful friend. This is the first time I have ever had to face the loss of a pet. I'm in my 30's and never had any pets until I met my husband. I don't know how we will live without her (me, my husband and our other cat). She has been such a huge part in all of our lives.
I have been crying and crying for hours. I feel so sick, so guilty about this. I know putting her to sleep is the right thing to do because this is incurable, but the thought of her dying is too much to bear. I can't get the images out of mind.
Thanks for listening.
