I felt like I was betraying her.

But it would have been worse to me to just leave the room and let everyone else deal with it.

I hope she forgives me.

I am hoping that faint little purr was her knowing that I didn’t want her to suffer anymore.

We brought our guy home and buried him in the garden where he liked to play and "hunt". I say hello to him every morning. Sometimes I still tear up.

I never thought I'd get another cat, but about a year after his death I came across a cat photo from our local humane society that looked almost exactly like our kitty. He had been there so long his fate was not looking good. He was on sale, lol. Marked waaaaay down. It's been a year now. As I type, he is on my lap purring while coming down from his catnip "high". Of course he'll never replace our beloved kitty, but he has brought us much joy and I'm so glad we were able to save him. I think he likes us, too. :)

Again, I am so sorry for your loss. You did do the right thing but I know that doesn't make the pain any less difficult right now. {{{{hugs}}}}

They have a way of knowing beyond words what we feel toward them. You did the right thing, and it was done with love.
