So.. today my 12 year old cat was put to sleep. His name was Patter, he weighed 25 pounds. I had him since i was 2 years of age. He was old and fat, so basically dieing, wasn't eating and he had bad diareah (sp?). Its hard not knowing that i don't get to wake up to him sleeping on the end of my bed and keeping my feet warm when i watch movies. So many memories, and i will miss him dearly.

dude im sorry bout that, i have 2 cats and they're 13 now, had since i was 3, they seem good, so hopefully i'll get some more solid years out of them, and there is nothing to beat waking up having a cat curled up, you think you'll get another?

This year was hard on me too, 2 of our cats died (both 15+ years). And we had some close calls with 2 dogs that we have, I seriously was prepared to see a dead pet in the morning on more than a few occasions. Its good that you treated your cat well, the relationship is always nicer when you are nice to your pet and in return you get even more.

wrong. One time my cat jumped approximately 3 feet in the air and ripped a robin's head off while it was in mid flight with one swipe of its paw, i wouldnt have believed it either except i saw it with my own eyes

My white cat was huge, it would eat your cat without even knowing it. This beast would bring back woodchucks, it would steal london broils and it stole our thanksgiving turkey right off the countertop and ate half of it before we could get it back (and no we diddnt eat the rest)

My cat is 21, I've had her since I was 4 or 5. Deaf, part blind, and pretty confused now. She'll have have to be put down eventually, she isn't big on just dying.

I'm sorry, losing a pet is always tough. I've worked at a vet clinic for the last three summers and it's always tough when someone has to put their pet down, even tougher when it's your own pet (had a dog put to sleep when I was little).

that makes me nervous....my cat recently turned 10 years of age so he could die too soon...which would totally suck because like u, i would wake up to him keeping my feet warm or when im watching tv or movies...so he could be next....AHHHHHHHH
