The worst day of my life.
Was the first week of april 2005. I got a call off my mum whilst at my bf's house saying my baby Oscar was sick. They had rushed him to the emergency vet. Three days later i got the call i dreaded most. It was time to let him go. He was 9 years old and his kidneys were failing fast. I held him close as they injected him with barbiturates, and all those programs and care sheets which say its just like going to sleep.... you all fucking lie. He screamed and he screamed and then lay down in my arms and went limp. We put him in his favorite blanket and into a little coffin and took him home. I took off his collar and hung the name tag from a silver chain which even to this day still hangs around my neck. Ill never take it off.

His body was so peacfull in the end it took me months to come to terms with the death of the little guy who was my best friend from the age of 10. We had grown up together, and later as i got older and got sicker Oscar had saved my life on two occasions.

I know Oscar is up there now, but i also know ill never be over him and every so often i look forward to the day ill join him. He might have just been a cat but i wouldnt be here today if it hadent been for him.

Sorry for the sad post people, ill just go off and cry quietly now.

Length? i dont think thats appropriate under this post.

Damn, that's sad
Don't worry about shedding a few tears over a beloved pet. That's one of the reasons I'm reluctant to get a cat or a dog, because I'd get too attached that way.

and yes, I agree with the other two, ignore him ^^^ He's being a complete cucking funt today.

yes but no, but yes
fuck me, what about going off and crying for all the babies who die around the world every day? or for all those human beings who starve to death as they do not have any food. you wouldnt be here to day if it hadn't been for him, what did he do, deliver you?

^^^
Then why don't you go off and do that instead of going out of your way to be a cnut on here then?

*clicks*

Cats rock.

^Oh, get over yourself fauntleroy...
That's not even an argument. You don't cry about people that you don't know dying, because you don't have an emotional connection with them. Whereas if you've looked after and loved a pet for 9 years, of course you're going to feel pain when that pet is gone.

Still, I suppose I'd better let you get back to your clearly packed diary of mourning for all of the worlds starving and dying, eh?

As for the story... Sounds like an ace cat... I'd be interested to know how he saved your life!

kntleroy and pknt
see if you can do anything better with a heartfelt story about a death of a loved one, and we can then explain we don't give a monkeys because we weren't close to them, get over it, it was only your mate you've got others, and so on

Very sad
Sorry you still feel so sad about his surprisingly fearful death. I've had four put down myself and they usually sleep.

Any vets know what happened there? Wrong injection?

Oh yes, ignore the "it's only a cat" people, a loss is a loss.
They fail at empathy.
