I lost my baby today!!

  
Sydney

Purred: Tue Jan 1, '08 5:11pm PST 
Sydney was taken from me on this first day of the new year. I had her put to sleep because she was suffering from leukemia. Her breathing became more labored and she stopped eating in the last couple of days. The vet was wonderful and he consoled me after I had made the decision. He told me that is what he would have done.

I had Sydney since she was a baby. I also had her father and her grandmother. She had her grandmother's temperament and was identical in looks.

I will miss her alot but I know that she is now with her grandmother, father and mother. she is also out of the pain that she has been in. At least I had one more Christmas with her.

Dear Nicci

I know exactly how you feel darling. My precious little baby girl Butterfly a beautiful calico with a wonderful temperment and disposition got sick very suddenly and very fast. Iknew something serious was wrong when she refused her favourite treats she always asked for just before bedtime every time. And than she started trying to hide in the banthroom and sit in the bathtub. That was not lik e her at all. I had no choice but to make that decision for her to cross over to 'Rainbow Bridge" on Nov 6/07. She had a mass on her liver. It was so sudden and so fast how she got sick. We never even knew she had liver cancer even the vet didnt know this. She said it hpapens like that sometime tho. So she went to Rainbow Bridge Nove 6/07 and I drov home from the vet alone crying so hard I could hardly see the road and stayin my own lane. Bu t I made it home safely somehow and than had to tell her sisters she was gone and they grived for her and still do. My b/f cat Mitsy stays with me and she and Butter would play at night Mitsy cried and cried for the first few night cause she couldnt find her. It hurt me so much to hav eto do that I miss her so much too. But yes as Tara said it does easier as each day passes. Just be patient with yourself and be good to yourself knowing you made the right decision for Sydney. Now your baby is playing and out of pain and feeling like a kitten again. I keep telling myself that over and over again about Butter too.

If you need someone to listen to you let me know. I am here and all you have to do is contact me by pawmail or e-mail and I will be here for you.

Our prayers and support are here for you.

Thank you for the support. Sydney got sick very quickly. Just a few days ago she was eating and playing with the other two. Then on Christmas Eve the labored breathing started and everytime she ran or even walked the breathing got worse. I took my 7 month-old to the vet on the 28th for hs booster shots and post surgery checkup and I talked to the vet about Sydney then. He said that if her breathing got worse to get her to his office. By the next day she couldn't eat because of the breathing problem. On Monday I made the apppointment for her. I couldn't sleep that night because I feared the worse. I think that my other two cats were picking up on that fear because they stayed close to me that night. The next day my heart was breaking even before we left. The vet was very good and he gave me the three options with euthanasia being the last. I started to cry even before he finished. I loved Sydney enough that I didn't want to see her suffer and I didn't want to prolong that suffering. That would have been selfish on my part. It didn't take me long to make the decision. I know that she is in a better place now and that she has been reunited with her parents and grandmother. That puts me at ease right there. Now my other two cats are "depressed" because of her passing. Mao Mao hasn't got much spunk at the moment and Sasha has lost her best friend. It will take time but my pain will lessen. But I will always miss her and that fiery temper.

Attention pls- more Attention

Sydney,

I felt the same way the day I had to say goodbye to Whitie even before we left My heart was breaking I forced myself to Smile for Whitie's sake.

She too had Liver cancer I am sure of it..
Today I am feeling a bit better again Hang in there..

Know that Sydney was met by all the other furbabies by Jesus and by everyone else in Heaven and now has wings to fly and soar and is healthy again..

It will take time for your other babies hearts to mend I know because my 3 cat babies are still mending and missing Whitie immensely It is hard to see them that way today though they seem to be much better although now today Bon-Bon has started crying same as Autumn who rarely ever leaves the bed where Whitie spent most of her time in her 2 last days with me.

You are right it would've been selfish for us to keep our babies alive just so we wouldn't have to feel pain.

You and I and my mom did the right thing in helping them to Heaven. Where they are healthy and able to run and play again.

Don't worry she is right there waiting for you.
and her memories will always live on and She will be your guardian angel.

*hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs*

This is really nice that all you guys are sharing your experiences. I have had my cat since i was 3 years old. she had always been there for me and i can't recall a time when i didn't have her with me. She died on saturday and it is by far the hardest thing i've ever had to go through. The 16 years i had with her were amazing, but that also makes it a lot more painful. i am so sorry for everyone's loss, but it makes me feel better that other people care a lot for their pets too. My boyfriend thinks that i got too upset, because she was just a cat, but she was my best friend, and i can't seem to stop crying. Especially when i have to go look at urns. It makes me feel better that she's out of pain though. She had feline leukemia, lymphoma, low white blood cell count, and a failing liver. But now, our kitties are in heaven, in no pain, and will wait for us.

Peaches honey she wasn't just a cat that is what people who don't love furbabies don't see.

Just like Whitie my baby girl wasn't just a dog and my 3 cats are not just cats. They are family

It's ok to hurt I am still hurting tremendously over the loss of my daughter.

Your cat was your daughter as well as your best friend. It will take time for the pain to ease. You just Hold onto knowing she went to Heaven and is with Jesus and you will see her again..

I'm here if you need to talk
*hugs*

Dear Nicci
Sorry bout you losing Sydney. I know how you feel believe me. I lost my special baby Butterfly on Nov 6/o7 due to liver cancer. She was almost 10 yrs old. She was loved very much by her other feline sisters and her canine sisters too. I cried all the way home after leaving the vets office and I was driving my car too. But I had no one who could go with me that day. I felt lost lonely and knwiong something was missing in my life. It was Butterfly. She had gone to Rainbow Bridge. I know she is no longer in pain and can now run and play like she was used to doing. But I still miss her . I know she has joined her previous sisters who went there before her TinkerBell and Luv Bunny. They were waiting at the gate to welcome her when she got there. I still think I see her even now and its been several months since I had to let her go. Hang in on and as time passes it will get easier for you to bare. You will never forget her but time does help and does heal. If you need to talk just e-mail me and if I am online I will get right backto you ok. These days I am very busy as I am an approved foser home for a dog rescue and right now I have three plus my own two asw well as my other cats too. Two of my fosters are puppy mill rescues and one is an stray. They are all from the US. a high kill shelter. I have to work with them all to teach them trust, potty training, how to be a dog especially he puppy mill rescue dogs. But both of them have come such a long way in o nly a month it is amazing and I fell so lucky to hve them in my life even if it is for just a short time until their forever home is found for them all.

Take care dear Nicci
Hugs and prayers for all your family
