Coincidence, yes it was.

[kyburg]

It's cancer, and it's unfair to consider treating it. That's the consensus of the vet and I this afternoon after the ultrasound.

Ai-chan's not going to make it. And instead of putting her through a course of treatment that would, at best, give her a year? There are hard decisions, and then there are those like this one - painfully easy. Like swallowing broken glass.

We're letting her go. Jim's on his way, we're going together to the vet and be there to say goodbye.

I'm pretty sure Spice will be waiting for her - I think they've missed each other long enough.

I'll miss her. I can almost be grateful for the scars she gave me.



Oh kitty, I wish I could have fixed it for you.

Oh.. I'm so sorry. 8-( No doubt what you are doing is best under the circumstances though. I'm sending lots of good wishes.

*HUGS*

Lemme see if I can dig up any pictures I might have taken of her and send them your way.

I don't guarantee much, considering my own assessment of my photography skills is like, minimal.

[snobahr.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry, for all of you.

[jrittenhouse.livejournal.com]

What the Bahr said. *big deep sigh*

[dame-of-dames.livejournal.com]

My deepest sympathies. Your heart must be breaking...

[chipuni.livejournal.com]

I'm so terribly sorry, for you and for Ai-chan.

[juliekaye.livejournal.com]

What a beautiful kitty! I'm tearing up like crazy right now.

I know how much your heart is breaking right now as I went through this a year ago. I still cry when I think of my precious boy, I don't think I will ever not.

:::hugs you:::

[odiedragon.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. We had to do the same for Maggie about a month and a half ago. It was the right thing to do, but it still hurt.

[evilshell.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry :(

You're doing what's best for kitty...even if it is so hard for you.

[simgaroop.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. But what you're doing is the right thing, despite how hard it seems now.

I'm sending good wishes and vibes too.

[lolleeroberts.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. She's a beautiful girl. I know you'll miss her.

[luscious-purple.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. I know it's so hard. *hugs*

[feyandstrange.livejournal.com]

My condolences on the loss of your friend.

[blindgeoff.livejournal.com]

'scritch her and say good-bye' - i just posted to your husband that sometimes that's all you can do for them. Know that you gave her the best possible life she could ever have had.

[saoba.livejournal.com]

As my spouse had reason to tell our vet recently "Sometimes being a good person sucks."

I'm sorry.

[yasha-chan.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. *comfort* Ugh, one of my other friends just had to put down her 20+ year old cat yesterday. BRB going to pet my cat until he gets disgruntled.

[satirical.livejournal.com]

hugs. xo

[ms-hecubus.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that, Donna. You have my sympathies.

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I'm so sorry. Ai-chan was a very sweet girl, that I consider myself lucky to have met at your party a couple years back.

Take good care of yourselves, and know that you were great parents/care givers.

[mdlbear]

*hugs*

I'm so sorry for you.

[kshandra]

I'm sorry.

[relevantpink.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry. She looks like one of the mighty ones. I know you're doing right by her.

[unclejimbo.livejournal.com]

Oh she was, she most certainly was. When she was still a wee one, she went forth to challenge Spice out Cairn Terrier. They became the best of friends and loved to chew on each other.

[drlaurac.livejournal.com]

I had a dear kitty with cancer, and we tried to treat it. Treating her was a selfish decision on my part, and she suffered for a week post-surgery. You're doing what's hardest for you, but most merciful for your beloved kitty. I wish you peace, I know she will have peace.

[lwood.livejournal.com]

*sighs* I'm sorry for your loss.

I was here myself, just a few months ago.

[veggie.livejournal.com]

i'm so sorry about your cat! i agree that you are making the right decision, and i'm glad that you were able to give her a happy life.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

What a pretty baby! I'm sorry you have to do this, but sometimes what's best for them isn't what's best for us. It's the shitty truth of life. *sigh*

*pats back*

[bronxelf-ag001.livejournal.com]

What a pretty girl. I am so sorry. :(

[amilyn.livejournal.com]

Oh, she was gorgeous. I'm so sorry. *hugs*

[nagasvoice.livejournal.com]

Condolences on your loss. We know how this feels. It's very hard to make that decision, and I applaud you for making it.

[ororo.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry. Knowing you're making the right decision doesn't help here.

[lokabrenna.livejournal.com]

She's a beautiful lady. I'm sorry, too.

[sithdragn.livejournal.com]

So very sorry to hear about Ai-chan. Cosette and Emma will also be waiting. Peace and strength to you.

[thatwordgrrl.livejournal.com]

Well, spit! I am so sorry.

I will miss LittleMissDivaKitty.

[purrplexitty.livejournal.com]

*Hugs ever so close.* She was a beautiful and very loved kitten. I respect that you chose the easiest path for her.

I'm sure her soul caries with it, all the love and joy that came with sharing her life with yours.

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry :(
