Sorry for you’re loss.....they say your pets are the first to greet you when you pass.....she’ll be waiting.
You do your best for them, as best you know how. No matter when they pass, you will always wonder “Was it too soon?” or “Was it too late?”
Remember the years and love, that’s what they remember.
I am so sorry, I am sure she knew you were trying to help her.
Oh dear. My heart aches for you. I’ve walked that sad road many times with beloved pets over the years. Prayers for you both...your little friend is home now, no pain at all...and knows she’s loved.
Kefira knew how much you love her, Ein (i can’t tell if that’s an i or an L right now).
We got through all kinds of second guessing & guilt when we lose our furbabies to illness or injurh. You did everything you knew tp do, that much is certain.
I’m so very sorry for youe loss. Qe will be with them agan.
I have know people whom after losing a beloved pet could not find it in themselves to bring another one into their lives. That is a bad mistake even though it might mean a another such loss on down the line.
Don’t feel bad, my FRiend, and please don’t feel any guilt. Your cat no doubt loved you and knew you loved her back until her last breath.
My beloved cat Skip died in a very similar way, right in front of me as I was forcing water in him to drink. He had cancer and looking back I tried too hard to fend off nature’s call.
I felt guilty but soon thereafter i had the sweetest dream - where Skip came to my lap and looked up at me with total love and acceptance. It felt so real and I woke up in tears but full of peace. From that day forward I’ve had nothing but great feelings and great memories.
That will happen to you also. You gave that kitty the sweetest gift she could ever have and it will last for eternity.
I know how you feel. My prayers to you. I had to put my beloved little buddy to sleep a year ago. People here on Free Republic were most kind in expressing condolences.
I’m so sorry. I’ve had cats all my life and lost so many. It never gets easier. They give us so much love, & ask for so little in return. May you be comforted in your grief, knowing that you did everything for your kitty.
I lost my 14 year-old lady feline best friend 3 wks ago. She was a very special cat and I miss her greatly.
I tried everything I could with the help of the vet to prolong her life, but it was not to be.
One thought has been a comfort....that is, our animal friends never worry about their lives and deaths, either 'now' or in the abstract, they simply accept it.
God willing, we will hold them in our hearts and be thankful for the good times shared.
I don't have any words of wiscdom to get over these losses. Just that I am so sorry. Just remember the happiness and comfort she has brought you.
I hope there is a kitty heaven.
I’m very sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved cat, I know it’s a very hard thing to go through. Our pets are in Heaven waiting for the day that we will be reunited with them and we will be with them forever.
So sorry to hear...
So sorry...I know all too well how hard this is.
Probably sounds a little silly but I just hope we get to see our animals in heaven.
May your memories of her be a blessing.
ping.
Take Care.

We have been thru this many times. It breaks your heart over & over again. You gave your baby Kefira a wonderful forever home. You did everything right. Thinking of you. Sending love from one animal lover to another.
He has a posting on there about the death of his cat, named Cathy, very beautifully written...perhaps it will help you with some closure.
The loss of a pet can be devastating.
The loss of one of my beloved Pit Bulls or the loss of my old Rhodesian Ridgeback, although I know it is inevitable, will surely break my heart.
I think it has to do with the helplessness of domesticated animals that we have taken into our hearts and homes, whose lives...and deaths are our responsibility.
You are not alone in your grief, it is a normal thing.
sorry for your loss but you know what?,, there is a little kitty just waiting for you to come rescue it from the animal shelter.. just walk in there and wait for one to catch your heart.. I always do that when I lose a kitty and I end up not depressed anymore because I’m so busy getting to know my new friend
