So, I have to take my cat Oberon to the vet today.

Be patient till the last.
He has cancer and he's losing the battle and I have to step up to the plate while he is still relatively comfortable, because it's spread from his jaw into his eye socket and he's thin and has to have his food mashed but he still thinks he's all that and wants to go outside and bully dogs and terrorize squirrels, and.....
it's a damn CAT!
There are millions of horrors and miseries happening to people all over the world and I'm crying about my 10 year old cat.

And did I mention how much I fucking hate fucking cancer?
 
Never apologise for feeling like this Curious. They are one of your family.

10 years? most marriages don't last that long and you have a 10 year relationship that will be very special to you.

My thoughts with you Curious.
 
Love you curiousa2z! It's not weird to feel this way, pets are people too.
 
Courage, darlin'. (Imagine that pronounced the French way for extra effect)

I hate the "c" word too -- and it's my astrological sign! You've made the right decision, and down the road you'll be remembering the good times more than the bad. All it takes is time, which flies by too damn fast for its own good. Luv ya.
 
Hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
How ironic that someone who escorts spiders out of the house should be faced with destroying a beloved pet. They make you sign a 'consent to euthanize' form first. Then they grab the cat and hold him down while you try to speak in a reassuring tone, stroking his face without breaking into tears (not successfully) while the vet injects him with a dose of something they explained to me which I never retained. Then the vet used a stethoscope to confirm his heart had stopped beating. And after ten years as a member of the family, he was gone.
 
One of my dogs is getting pretty bad and I am not looking forward to the day I might have to do the same thing :( I hope you are okay.
 
thank you, sweetie.
Sort of getting used to it..what else can you do? Gave the left over cat food cans away to friends with cats a few days ago. took down his water dish from the hutch (he wouldnt drink from a bowl on the floor; you know how cats amuse themselves with demands on their minions.....thought I saw him sleeping on the verandah table yesterday when I came home, just a trick of the light.
 
If we were all cats, there would be no more birds. Except the ones who are big enough to sweep down and kill us.

Also, all beaches and deserts would by public litter boxes.

And foil-ball-batting would replace football/soccer as the world's favorite sport.
