Serious I'm gonna lose her soon

Very sorry to hear about your loss, Channy. =/ We basically went to the vet with this feeling of putting our guinea pig down this passed week, and she was gone on the way there... I know how you feel.

I hope you can give it a warm spot in your heart, I'm sure she'd love to stay there. <3
 
You would be surprised at this woman. >.> I think I heard a faint tinge of sympathy over the phone yesterday when I was crying and called in.. she has her own long lived pet so she SHOULD understand and just lemme along. >.<

Thanks Colours. <3 Rainbow and the colourful guinea pig shall frolick together. How old was she?

Oh, it wasn't her age... The thing was, about a week and a half ago, she seemed to have a cold, now, we were aware this could be vital for guinea pigs. We kept her warm, and got her yummy noms and all. She wasn't eating, not drinking either.

So when we went to the vet, I was asked if I thought she couldn't or didn't want to eat. It seemed like she didn't want to?

Vet gave her something, and we had to feed and give her water with a pipette. Still hadn't improved, and the day I went there again, she had died. Most likely starvation, 'cause she "couldn't" get anything in.

The vet checked and said "Oh... So it was her teeth." I was about ready to punch her in the face. =/
 
Hmmm...I've heard before that cats have a sense that they know when they're going to die. Which breed did she come from?
 
I know the feeling. My cat's getting to that age herself, Although she still has some fight in her (She beats the living shit out of our other cat, we have 2) She always cuddles up to me and rubs her face up against me, I'm gunna be gutted when she passes on...

All i can really say that the best thing for your cat is to let her live out the rest of her days in the house she loves so much, with the people she loves, and with the people that love her just as much.

That's just awful. =/ And sort of the reason why I refused to take her to the vet. Because if they told us she had cancer or had a hole in her heart or some abnormality... that there'd be a way we could save her somehow. After spending so much money.

So rather than spending that money and putting her through unbearable trips in the car to and from town, we just kept her in the house and let her life out her days. Deep down I knew she was just old.. even if she was the Forever Cat.

Hmmm...I've heard before that cats have a sense that they know when they're going to die. Which breed did she come from?

I believe she knew as well. She kept calling to my dad who would usually let her out, and she'd gone to the door a few times before she was unable to walk.. she didn't want to go in the house for some reason.

I did not give her a choice. -__-

Her breed, I believe was tortoiseshell.. :hmmm:

Thanks. We'd kept her in the house for the last two weeks to be absolutely sure, and she lived it out in the house. Everybody watched over her carefully but none as heartbroken as me. I think next to the grief of her dying, was the fear of how I was taking it.

Rainbow was my cat. She was my cat first and a family cat second. I stuck her in my barbie beds and tried to get her to sleep in the afternoon. I dressed her up in doll clothes and stuck a cabbage patch hat on her head. I put tape on the bottom of her feet and watched as she flopped around like a fish trying to get it off...

I'm sorry about your kitty :( RIP kitty cat

Thanks <3

And now allow me to divert your attention to four year old Channy (yes it's a bowl cut -__- ) and baby Rainbow <3

 
Sorry Channy.

I wasn't able to be with our dog when she passed in January because I just couldn't do it (the vet was coming to put her to sleep). But I did say goodbye because I knew she wouldn't be with us any longer and I was glad to have the chance to pet and be with her one last time. Unfortunately, that hasn't always been the case with most of our animals. At least you got to spend some quality time with your kitty before she went.
 
Yeah I'm glad I took off the day from work just to lay on the floor and be with her. I don't think I could forgive myself if I didn't, even if she didn't pass until the following morning. I was really paranoid she'd go while I was gone and I wouldn't have a chance to say goodbye.
 
I guess that's the best you can do. I felt better being able to say goodbye and it seems like you feel better to have had the chance as well. It just sucks having to get used to the fact that they're gone.
 
Yeah that's another thing. Life is just... different. Not the same. Going to bed was a ritual of calling them both (her and another cat) to bed and now I don't have her breathing or heartbeat near my head like I used to. It's just.... it's weird... Going on.
