Comment from Mariana Convery
This is so good! I don't even have words to express how the twist at the end made me feel, but oh boy, did I feel! You do such a great job writing in suspense. I want to know how you could leave her in that state. I have this feeling , based on the title, that she's going to die and haunt you for leaving her. But then I was so relieved that you ran back, and so heart broken when I found out who, "she" was. The hardest times in my life have been to put a pet down. I have absolutely no critique for this. Just a great job from beginning to end. And I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious kitty.

Thank you. This happened several years ago, but it is still difficult to write about. Since I wrote this story, I have heard from so many on this site who have had to give up their precious pets, too.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.

I have held 2 of my beagles when they were put down. It was both painful and oddly beautiful. There is a trust that your pet has. You are her or his world. They exist to be with you. You made the right choice to be there are the end. She went out feeling safe and loved. Heart wrenching piece. Gretchen

Thank you, and thanks for sharing your story with me. It is never easy to put our fur babies to sleep forever. There is that empty spot in your heart and your life. This happened several years ago but I still found it difficult to write about.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas

I truly feel your pain. I had to put my little Petey to sleep this past August. He had been my shadow for 15 years. I held him in my arms as he left us. I still miss him so much but he was suffering. I am so sorry for your loss. Your story is a beautiful tribute to your relationship.

Thank you, and thanks for sharing your story. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Petey. Sometimes it is a kindness to let them go across the Rainbow Bridge.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.

A touching story. The hesitation and remorse over the inevitable are clear in the self-argument. The language is warm and conversational. The ending is a release after the tension build-up. This will resonate with anyone who has been in the situation.
Thanks for sharing.

Your post made me cry. Last year I had to take that journey to the vet with my lovely fur baby, Darhma. It broke my heart but she was suffering and I also knew there was nothing that could be done. My vet told me that it was the final act of love I could give her and I think he was right. Perhaps our two lovely ones will meet across the Rainbow Bridge.

We have owned 12 cats and 5 dogs so we know what you went through to be kind to your cat, we have seen the suffering pet, they all lived long lives, so they inevitably contracted old people's afflictions, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Thank you. This happened several years ago but was still difficult to write about. There is no such thing as just a cat; they are family.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas

We always regarded our animals as family members, but it was difficult telling them to go to bed, they wouldn?t obey.
Comment from Spitfire
Your story made me cry. I had a cat who had to be put away because of jaw cancer. Either the fatal needle or let her starve to death. I held her and talked to her while the vet did his work. That's at least some comfort I hope for the cat.

Thank you, and thanks for the six stars. It was hard to write this story even though it has been several years since Tasi left me. Thanks for sharing your story with me.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.
Comment from Soledadpaz
What a sad thing to have to do, to say goodbye to a beloved pet. We had to do that with our beagle and one of our cats. It was hard on my kids, but they were too sick and had to be relieved of their terminal pain. Yet, you never forget. Your story took me back and I could see Tasi giving you one last trust-filled look.

Thank you. Yep, it was tough, but it had to be. Tasi couldn't eat anymore and was slowly starving to death. Thanks for the six stars. I appreciate them.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas.

I am so sorry for this loss. I don't know if we ever get over the loss of a loved one, no matter how long it has been. And, yes, pets count as loved ones. I hope peace finds you. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thank you. This happened several years ago, but you are right, one never gets over the loss of one you love. It took me this long to gather the courage to write the story.
Hugs, and Merry Christmas
Comment from Teri7
This is just so sad! We have had several of our little animals die and it hurts so much. They are part of the family. I am so sorry for your loss. It does haunt us when we think about it. You used very good descriptive words that almost had me in tears. We had a cat that had cancer too. It was not good. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas! love and blessings, Teri

Thank you. This happened several years ago but is still difficult to write about and remember. There is no such thing as just a cat. They are family.
