Just had to put my best friend down. Had him for 12 years, suddenly grew a large tumour in the stomach, he was a completely different cat once he'd lost a lot of weight etc within a few days.
I'm absolutely devastated. Anyone cheer me up? I've ran out of tears and am completing emotionaless now. I know this is probably a faggot post, I think might just get blind drunk or something. I just don't have anyone else to talk too.
...
anyone? :(
Sorry to hear that he passed, OP. 12 years is good for a cat though, I'm sure he had a long enjoyable life.
What was his name, and how/when did you get him?
Unfortunately this is something we don't anticipate when a person comes into our lives. 12 years is a good life for a feline friend. Try to take care and let it pass when youve coped with it more.
Time to buy a doggo!
Thank you. He had a really comfy life.
He's called Tobey. Got him back in late 2004. I always wanted a cat buddy and he was the first one I saw. It might sound stupid to see, but I don't socialise that much and I felt comfortable being on my own with him around. Someone I know has a kitten that I might get in about 10 minutes, should I do it?
Snip snap doggo? Or the woof bork one?
Yeah, I've never been good with things like this. It's pretty alien to me losing someone as well. Thanks buddy.
My sister has a couple of dogs, I think I'll go see them soon. I just want something to hug.
Did you get the tumor out? If so did you kill him because he wasn't the "same".
Did you not get the tumor out and killed him because you were cheap?
I kinda agree, though get whatever you want for a pet. Getting a new animal helps you get through the grieving process of losing a dear friend while getting to create a new bond. It might be too soon to think about getting a new pet now, but definitely think about it in the near future, OP.
Rip kitty , I'm sure he love you
It was the size of a kids fist. He lost weight rapidly within 2 days, so I took him to the vets. The X Ray's showed the stomach tumor. It was beyond fixing. He was always laying down at him constantly and his breathing was short and fast.
It was only going to get worse.
dwarf rabbits are underrated. get one
My friends dog is about to pass because of a tumor that had grown on her chest. She's 11 years old and a very large dog (life expectancy is 10-14), so surgery is out of the question because she would die on the table. Sometimes all you can do is let them live for as long as they comfortably can until they're suffering to much when they get old. OP did what was right.
Thank you :( He was my best friend and always loved.
>Best friend.
>Can't even flip the image for memorial thread.
>With friends like you, who needs Nazis.
>Bet 1 paw is still stuck out of the dirt too.
It should have been you.
Sorry for your loss. Sad part of life none of us enjoy. Think of the good times and appreciate the time you had together. You can never replace loved ones but you can make new ones. That might not interest you, but it's an option to get through your difficult time. Hang in there OP
>snip snap
>woof bork

Hey op.
I know you wanted cheering up but I can't really offer that... Just a share, so you know you're not completely alone.
I just put down my sweet little bear of 17 years. I'm fucking 24, I had her since I was a child. She got sick and it was my fault and she suffered due to my mistake until she could barely stand, couldn't control her bladder and lost all but 3-4 ls of her body weight.
I have never loved anything nearly as much as her aside from my first kitty which was born a few days after my first birthday and passed when he was 15 and I was 16.
Nothing will ever fill the hole in my heart.
Humans disgust me, and I spent most of my childhood being beaten by my crackhead mom so I have never really even wanted human relationships.
Most can't understand the unconditional love that can be shared when you don't understand a damn word the other being says XD
I will love her until my last breath and beyond.
I'm so sorry OP.
I wake up everyday and cry inside because my little girl is gone. I'm so ashamed and I hope you can hurt a little less than I do.
I haven't been able to even mourn yet and this is basically the first thing I've said to anyone about it. I contemplate suicide daily.
I hope your friend didn't suffer and just know that no matter what comes after or not..
They can never suffer or hurt again.
Just rest.

Str8 outta sch00l
You don't realize what a mess I am because of what's transpired literally an hour ago. I did post a second picture.
I'm getting him cremated.
Just a few weeks ago I also had to put my 18 year old cat down so I know exactly how it must feel for you
I'm so, so sorry OP.
I know what it's like to lose a friend like that. The sharp pain now eventually fades into a dull ache, but the emptiness never goes away.
But that's the price of love, and that pain of loss is life's way of helping us never forget our love, even when the ones we love have gone ahead.
I'm glad he had you to love him so much.
sorry to hear that op, had to put down my best friend back in 2012, she was 19.
i know it's hard right now, but he had a good life and i'm sure he was extremely lucky to have spent his years with you and i'm sure he loved you very much! you should get a new kitty if you feel like you can do it.
best of luck bro.
This really hits home with me, I have a cat that will be 13 in a few days but I'm taking him to the vet today to see if he needs to be put to sleep or if he can be helped. I think he has tick paralysis for the second time in a short time here so I'm not sure what can be done
Kid, you must be popular in your school, wrtng so c00l
/impressed
good luck man, i hope for the best.
Means a lot to me. I'm sorry for your loss too. It's destroying me mentally too. Ive always had the mindset that I wouldn't be living if it wasn't for him. Now he's gone, I just don't feel like continuing either.
I'm not a spiritual person, but I like to think I'll eventually see him again. We gave them good lifes. There's a lot of people out there right now suffering from losses, it sucks. But I guess it's inevitable.
Hope you pull through man. Thanks for your words.
Thanks. I'm contemplating getting one that could be picked up within 20 minutes, it's not a replacement, just I don't think I can function or keep going without a little friend living with me.
Sorry for your loss user. Like said before, thinking about that we gave them good lifes is somewhat comferting.
Thanks man. Really appreciate it. I'm considering (not a replacement) picking up a kitten that someone I know has.
Is he in pain?
Dude I'm so sorry... my cat is already 4 and I literally feel like her life is flying by so fast. Idk what I would do but I feel for you in that position.. best of luck user, be strong my brother.
If it does have tick paralysis take it to the vet now dickhead not "later". My old 18 year old tomcat lived through 8 of them. Think he got off on the drugs.
Also sorry for your loss Op. Im normally a big tough man and i cried like a baby when I my old boy finally expired.
best of luck if you decide to get a new cat, hope it has a long and happy life with you!
It's alright bro, death of loved ones is never easy
Remember him as he was and cherish these memories
Being devastated means you really cared for him
I hope you'll get better soon
My kat got breast cancer out of no where, I had to put her down. That was a month ago. Fucking sucks
Pic of day I had to put her down.
Trips and I get to smoke that pussy.
I decided to do it. He's 2. I'll be getting the ashes of Tobey tomorrow, putting them in a necklace. Some might think that's lame but I always want him close by so to speak. It doesn't feel real at the moment. I'm sure when I receive the ashes I'm going to completey break down again.
>this little QT should help me
Thanks dude.
Sorry man :( Just think how they're not suffering anymore and they had comfy lifes.
he looks so cute!
best of luck, seriously.
And please remember that while your friend is no longer in the places you're used to seeing him, he's not totally gone - he's just gone ahead. He's left his body, but his spirit is still with you, and always will be.
So like going back to the scene of a happy event (a party, a concert, a wedding) but getting sad because the empty building isn't filled with the same energy you wanted to keep forever, remember our bodies are the same way - they hold our energy for a while, but they're not what's most important. Our energy, our spirit, still exists. And Tobey's is free now.
And that means Tobey is still with you, and always will be. You just need to learn to look for him where he is now - all around you. So when you hear a sound, or see something out of the corner of your eye, or have a memory, or smell a scent or feel a sensation, anything that brings him to your mind is his way to letting you know he's near. Look for him there, in those ways. Give him a few days to adjust to his new surroundings (crossing over is disorienting for everyone), but then he will be with you the same as he always was.
So don't stay upset forever that you can't see him the way you used to, because you'll miss seeing him where he is - loving you.
Tobey will always be with you. And he will always, always love you.
And I can tell he's so, so grateful he had someone here who loved him as much as you.
Kittens are a shit load of work. I recently got one. I'd personally say it was worth it though. Do some research and don't be rash, OP.
Thanks Freind.
Thank you so much. That was beautiful.
OP, try to forget about it.
I know it's hard but just try to keep your mind occupied.
Maybe a new thread/different thread might help?
I know the ins and outs. I got mine when he was months old. My new one will be loved unconditionally just as Tobey was. They're always my #1 priority no matter what. He's laying next to me now.
...
We all hope you and your new kitty have a long and happy life together.
We all very much understand.
*tears*
I don't see what kind of reaction you are hoping to achieve? I already skimmed past that edgy thread, mine was involved in no accident or whatever. So you've achieved nothing but a reply from me.
I had the completely same with my cat. Tumour ins stomach and he lost weight very quickly. Then he died at the age of 6. Poor kitty. :(
He always was way too fat. That's the reason for his tumour, I guess.
...
I was just thinking about my little guy this morning. its been a year and it still sucks.
take the time to grieve OP but by all means find another buddy. there are cats out there that need someone.
Sorry to hear about Tobey pal. Its always a horrible thing to have to say goodbye to your pets... i hope you and your new cat spend many happy years together
Thanks, I'm gonna frame and mount it.
Im sorry, an animal its for me the best company, hope you get well soon
Sorry for your loss OP. The dog I grew up with suddenly got bone cancer in her pelvis and had to be put to sleep one month later. It's three years later now and I'm still not over her.
Pic's of her.
LMAO
Have fun feeling this same way in 10 years when you buy another fucking cat and go through the same exact shit.
Pets are pointless.
Everything is pointless bro
Everything disappears eventually and so will OP's cat, you or me
Doesn't mean we can't enjoy some empathy
Unless you're religious of course
I'm very sorry for your loss my friend.
I know that feel. About 3 years ago my 13 year old cat died. He was very weak his last couple days and didn't drink anymore. So my dad went to the vet and put him down.
You will get over it. We now have 3 new cats in our house and each one of them is lovely on their own.
Hey help me, name my KITTENS
Thanks guys.
She loved you and vice versa. Just remember the good times and not the bad. No more suffering.
Being this edgy.
I know it may seem silly, but thank you OP for reminding me of my kitties who are now gone.
I hadn't realized it until I read this thread how much I needed them today.

My sister's cat has the same problem right now but she's kind of a woman-child so she's been talking to a "pet doctor" who's encouraging her to give it chemo.
Sorry about your cat by the way. How long did it live after the tumor was found?
you are already doing what you are supposed to do (morn), now wait a few weeks and go adopt another cat.
A week, but he was really frail and literally always laying down. The tumor grew fast. I couldn't bare seeing him suffer anymore. It wasn't right.
Damn, my sister's cat apparently has up to 6 months. The vet gave it some sort of steroid that helps for a few weeks but then it will go back to frailcat.
You did the right thing user. It would only suffer more.
>get in your car
>find a kitten that looks just like your buddy
>give him the same name
>pretend like nothing happened
Hey look faggot, it works.
>kms
>this is literally what I did since I remmember
Just know he loved you and had a great blissful life. Here's a picture of my cats. My cat Clark turned 22 recently and my cat Sally is 16. I got them in Florida and have moved through indiana, West Virginia, and colorado, so they're pretty well traveled too. Not to mention they go outside a lot wherever I live. They are the friendliest cats you will ever meet and they love and cuddle everyone. I've never even been scratched by either of them
>22 years old
>Cat
how does this happen
I fucking hate dogs and the obnoxious faggots that leave their shit everywhere. Fuck off. Not as bad as those putrid fucking faggot equestrians though. Long story short, if you leave shit on trails or use them while they are muddy, I want to blow part of you and your shitty animals face off with a 12 gauge.
