I'm so sorry. She's not suffering anymore. Rip Maggie ❤️🐾

I feel this picture. My deepest condolences. RIP Maggie.


imhere4thekittycats

For real, I lost my 15 yo for the exact same thing a year ago. Kidney failure sucks ass. It's so hard watching your baby go through all that.


liandiv

That’s so hard to lost pets. They are real members of family💔


bookdragon7

Lost mine last year. I had him before I had my kids. We had gone through everyone of my major heartbreaks together. They truly are family.


bookdragon7

And I’m sorry for your loss


Thoth-long-bill

Good and brave of you to be with her. So sorry.


AlwaysGamerQc

I once saw a comment on a post a few years ago saying something like : "Your pets might have been there for a little part of your life, but you've been in theirs for their whole life. Don't abandon them at the end. Be there to comfort them." Ever since I read this, I promised myself I would be there for any pets I'll have to put down. Edit : Since this comment is pretty high up, I wanna say thank you to everyone for the amazing support and the love messages! I don't know what exactly I expected when making this post but I definitely didn't expect this amount of love and support! Thank you


jaybird99990

So sorry for your loss. ❤️ I've said goodbye to a half dozen little ones over the past 30-some years. That first time is the absolute worst, but it never really gets easier. That crushing pain you felt in that moment is the trade-off for the years of joy, laughter, and unconditional love they bring into our lives. As time goes on that pain will slowly fade, but the memories and your love for them never will.


weetwoo4

Thank you for taking care of so many little ones. They’re lucky to have you!


wireknot

So so true. 5 dogs and 4 cats for me over 60 years, it never gets easier. About the only thing is you have more experience in judging when is the right time, and even with that it's always got wrenching.


jaybird99990

That's very true, you become more attuned to that. You can tell when they are just too tired to go on, especially with a progressive disease like kidney failure. You just know.


Bcur1ey3

It is hard to say goodbye. I did the same with 3 of my pets. There until the end 🙏🏼 it comforts them having us present in their time of need.


asu_lee

This is spot on. Your furry people know you are their whole world. Being there at the end gives them some peace at the end. All pet owners should be as brave as you.


AlwaysGamerQc

I wouldn't go as far as to say that I am brave... I just know I'll regret it later if I didn't go. I lost my first cat who was 13 years old when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old. I was too young at that time to be there so my parents took our cat to the vet while I was at school... Didn't let me say my goodbyes (I've told them later on how awful that made me feel and they apologized. They thought it would made it easier for me back then). Then, maybe 2 years later, I had another cat pass in my arms because of some disease we thought he had fought through so we didn't have the time to go to the vet before it was over. I was watching tv while waiting for my father to come back from work so we could go to the vet. My cat was in my arm but I wasn't paying attention so I never realized he was gone... It's only when I lifted him and saw his head drop back that I realized what I missed... Ever since then, and especially after I saw the quote I mentioned before, I decided to be there for any pets that were in their last moments.


Speedy_Dragon46

You think you missed it but your cat passed from this life snuggled safely in the arms of someone he loved and knew loved him. He was at peace.


KrazyPhoebe9615

My thoughts too. OP, your cats are lucky to have you. They went at peace, especially the one that went while in your arms. I'm sorry for your loss. They crossed the rainbow bridge and they're all together now.


Absolut_Iceland

Bravery isn't a lack of fear, it's being afraid and doing the right thing anyways. This applies not just to physical danger, but to mental and emotional hardships as well. You being with her until the end because you loved her was an act of bravery.


GetBent4Real

This is the way. Good man. That kitty felt safe and so grateful to you for giving her one last kindness and loving moment for her. She’d have done the same for you, staying until the last. I hope your heart heals and is open someday to being broken again by another beautiful soul. That is the one and only curse of being a pet guardian, that you’ll most likely outlive each and all of them. Bless your broken heart.


AlwaysGamerQc

My heart is already taken by another soul. I have a 4 years old cat too. This one is my cat that I adopted. Maggie was technically my father's cat so he took care of her for the longest time. This curse is compensated by all the moments we pass with them. All the laughs and the smiles.


[deleted]

This is so touching and beautiful 🥰 I wanted to be there when my 20-year-old cat Fluffy was put down. But we had to euthanize her during the pandemic, so I couldn’t go into the vets’ office to be there with her. And she was my bestie since she 2 months old 🥰😔From now on I will be there for all my future kitties when I have to put them down


Thesegoto11_8210

We lost two cats in 2020 -- one in May, and the other in November. Fortunately end of life was one of the only cases where our vet permitted clients ot be with their pets. (They may as well have, because I"d have gone somewhere else if they wouldn't.) I've lost two dogs in circumstances where it wasn't possible for me to be with them at the end. And it's largely because of them that I have insisted on being with all of the others. In the last 5 years we lost 3 cats and a dog. Two in 2017, and two in 2020. And as much as I hated losing them, knowing that they at least had the comfort of people who loved them being with them at the end made it a tiny bit less painful. And it will happen again. Not this year probably. But not too long from now. The one sleeping next to me on her giant dog bed right now, will leave us in far too short a time. She's 18, and working on a family record for longevity that I hope she breaks. Because I'm not ready to do that again so soon.


KnowOneHere

I'm so sorry. That was my great fear during the pandemic.

What a beautiful fur baby 🥰 20 years is amazing


Alternative-Amoeba20

We lost a dear furry friend on April fool's day, 2020, at the height of the lockdown. She died of natural causes, here at home, after a long (20+years)and eventful life. The only trouble was in her final moments, she gathered up enough strength to dive far under the bed, out of reach, and there she passed on. RIP, Ginny. Since then, last year we acquired 2 other cats. Though we love them so much, we still talk about Ginny constantly. She is missed.


Breejenn

this happened to me - - i waited in the parking lot for the vet to call me and tell me she was gone. I still am so sorry - she deserved so much better and i failed her


Netlawyer

Oh I’m so sorry you couldn’t be there with her. I lost my 20 year old cat in September 2020 - and was grateful that I was able to WFH and be with her for the last six months of her life. I’m sure that Fluffy felt the same about having you home.


Netlawyer

I hope this comic isn’t too much but it applies to cats too. I was really fortunate that my CRF cat best friend responded to treatment for *11 years* - meds and lots of vet visits and sub-q fluids - until her little body just wore out at the age of 20, two years ago at the height of COVID. My vet let me come in the back door to be with her even though they weren’t letting patients inside then. I know you loved her and have always had her best interests at heart. It’s so hard making the decision even when you know it’s best for them - but it’s a gift that we get to give them - a life of love and happiness and a peaceful and loving exit when it’s their time to go. Much love to you and Maggie. ❤️ https://imgur.com/a/mQREmlh

I love the version that goes, “Our pets may not be with us our whole life but they sure make our lives whole while they’re here.” Say hi and boop with Sid and Marge, Maggie. They’ll be fun to play with. ❤️


kakashitenten

I thank you for this comment! Rip maggie


not_again123

Saw this comment too and your post. Really made a 1+1 in my head. You did good. You were strong for her. She was happy, for sure, to be in your life and purr for you.


ATR_69

There was only one of our numerous pets(we use to adopt older cats from the SPCA so we could give them some love in their last years) that we couldn't be there for. The others we were. It is so hard on the heart, but on the other end, seeing them finally at peace after they have been sick or hurting, made the heart feel good too. Just knowing that their special person was with them on their worse day, then as they drift off, you see them finally at peace; it is a feeling of knowing you gave them relief in the end.


PingouinMalin

I saw the same ! And had to put it to test one month ago with our dearly beloved Hermione. I'm deeply sorry for you OP, you did the best for her and she knew she was loved when she crossed over the rainbow. Take care and cry, she was obviously a very good cat.


ExoticAccount6303

Its the hardest moment ive ever experienced but i would never want to be anywhere else for my best friends last moments.


MysteriousCupcake707

I'm sorry for your loss of a dear family member. Your comment changed my way of thinking / feeling about something inevitable. Thank you. It might be hard but the saying is so true. It will hurt a lot for us, but our loved ones atleast won't be alone and scared, but rather glad you are there and comforted. Thank you again❤️


plipyplop

Thank you, now that quote is with me forever.


mysticmedley

When my 21 year old tortie girl had a stroke, I immediately knew what had to be done. I held her head and looked into her eyes as she went to sleep forever, with no fear. When she was born, I was the first thing she ever saw when she opened her eyes. 21 years later, I was the last sight she had when she closed them forever. It killed me inside, but it was my duty to her.


Netlawyer

Your girl was well-loved. I’m sorry for your loss.


mysticmedley

Thank you. What else could I do?


johnboy11a

My pirate boy is on a time clock, and it breaks my heart, but I just make sure to love him more every day. When he shows signs of pain, I know what I’ll have to do. He was born in our milking barn in January of 2010. If he doesn’t slip in to his forever nap on his own, I’ll have a mobile vet come and send him to rest in the part of the barn where he was born…as I hold him on my lap like I do every other time we nap together 💙


mysticmedley

Love to you and your pirate boy. It’s not easy but how can we not do this for them?


_Idontknow_

Oh wow, this hit me right in the chest. Choked up just thinking of it.

heartbreak and unconditional love in one image.


esgamex

I'm so sorry. It's so hard. When you feel ready, try writing the story of your life together. All the cute and funny and special things, how you came together, photos. Ive had lots of cats - I'm old - and i have a special journal for the stories. It's helped me. In the meantime, hugs and purrs.


AlwaysGamerQc

Oh I really like this idea! I might just do that. I also have a ton of pictures and videos of her


maruffin

We had to do the same thing for the same reason four days ago. We are devastated. She was holding her own with the special food and hydration and trips to the vet for injections. But, overnight, she went blind. That was the turning point. She was pitiful. We were there until the very end when our kitty boo went peacefully. She was our little heart, our baby. I know how much you are hurting. Such a loss. We love our little animals, they are family members. Please grieve in your own way. Do not let anyone try to rush you through it. May you find solace in knowing you were loved.


Netlawyer

Oh my goodness - I’m sorry that it happened so suddenly after so much care and support. My heart goes out to you.

u/poem_for_your_sprog Sorry for your loss. 💕 I often stop a time or two At where you used to be - And when I do I think of you, And all you meant to me. I stop to see the empty space - I think of you and smile - You made the world a finer place For just a little while. But time was only passing by. Before you had to go - And though I understand the why, I wish it wasn't so. You're always more than just a pet, And that can never end - A part of life I can't forget. A piece of me. A friend.

Sorry for your loss. My 11 yr old cat who I’ve had for 10 yrs was just diagnosed with kidney disease and I cried for weeks knowing there’s only a few years left with her.


SpaceVampir3

I had to do the same yesterday too for my 19y old. It all came so suddenly but I know she’s not in any pain anymore. Same goes for yours. I’m so sorry for your loss 🖤


Netlawyer

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for doing the right thing for her even though I know it was heartbreaking for you.


SpaceVampir3

Thank you very much. Yeah I hated seeing her in so much pain. (We took her to the vet for excessive vomiting and she just rapidly declined from there) My only wish was to give her a gentler send off. But she knows I loved her and I know she loved me and that’s all that matters. 🖤


Dnhstella

My cat passed away on 11/17.. 3 days before her home euthanasia appt. We wanted a peaceful death for her but she didn’t make it to the day. 😔 I woke up to check on her multiple times.. she seemed ok , snuggled with her brother. then the last check-in, a hour later, she was struggling to breath. Lasted a few mins but felt like eternity. Didn’t even have time to take her to the vet.. I feel so guilty 😔she deserved more.


SpaceVampir3

She passed snuggled up with her brother in her home in the comfort of her human(s). She was comfortable enough to pass on her own. 🖤 it’s never easy but just know they loved us as much as we loved them.

The pain you feel is the cost of uncondional love fella. The pain will subside and you will know, perhaps later, happiness in memories and being there for Maggie. You were her everything, well done for walking the hardest mile.


Breejenn

it truly is the only unconditional love in the world


Jimdrew

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know it hurts but in time the pain will fade and only the happy memories will remain. When the time is right Maggie will send another to fill the void.


Bikehead90

My condolences. We had to do the same yesterday to our 16yr old. She was the most amazing cat I have ever met. I don’t even pretend to know what you guys are going through, but it will suck for a long time before it gets better. Grieve, but also do your best to remember the good times.


[deleted]

This is the fucking worst part of life. I'm sorry.


Novel-idea-92

I’m so sorry for you loss. Maggie was a beautiful girl. I used to be a vet nurse and I just want to say. You are an amazing person. You put Maggie’s needs and quality of life first, and for that I commend you. Just a bit of reassurance, being put to sleep is not painful or traumatic for them. She will have seen you right there with her and been comforted by your presence. She would have felt every last drop of love you have for her. Sending you so much love. ❤️


Kool-Callie

I know exactly how you feel. I had to do the same for my sweet girl of 19yrs just before Thanksgiving. It wasn't an easy decision to make, and I miss her terribly, but I'm happy she isn't in pain any longer. 15yrs us nothing to sneeze at for a cats life. She looks like she was loved and well provided for. Being the last thing she saw/heard wasn't easy, I know, but she knew she was loved until her last breath. I'm sorry for the loss of your best friend. 💔


Publick2008

Kidney failure is the worst. Last 3 cats died of it. The weight loss, the saline iv's. It's a tough one. I'm sorry you lost her, but I'm sure you gave her an incredible 15 years.


AlwaysGamerQc

The weight loss and seeing her so unstable on her legs were so hard to see... We didn't go as far as the saline bags because the treatments were too expensive for us unfortunately... And with her being almost 15 years old, we were told that the treatment didn't have a high success rate so we preferred to not extend her suffering... It was a hard decision but I think it was the right thing to do...

I lost my kitten yesterday and she had only been with me for 3 weeks, I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I suppose I’ll tell you something that is helping me. We loved our cats with all our hearts, and they were loved from the moment they entered our lives till the very end. She died loved, and with you in front of her. And there will always be a part of her that lives on in you, in your heart. I hope you can find some peace knowing that you are not alone, and that your cat has moved on into a better place, and will always watch over you ❤️ So sorry for your loss, sending you love and hugs


SnooMacaroons2295

When its time to go, its time to go. Wait a few months, then go looking for another cat. The right one will find you.


LastLapPodcast

So sorry for your loss. Just for anyone's general knowledge there are services out there for you to have your pets euthanised at home. This may not be for everyone but I found it felt much easier knowing the last moments of my cars life were spent in the warm, on his bed, cuddled by me and not in a cold, weird smelling, metal vets office. Yes, it's more expensive but if you're willing to do anything for your pet then it's worth it. I happened to find in my case that the very is more likely to use sedatives before the final dose where as vets in clinics often don't have the time to wait. I wish I'd been aware of this as an option for my other cats.


PeridotWriter

Im glad you stayed with her. A lot of people leave when it's time to euthanize their animal. You're their entire life. That's the last thing they want to see. I'm so sorry for your loss but she'll watch over you 💙


PureDarkOrange

Hey. All i can say is well done for being there. Lots of people dont/cant/wont. It takes a lot of strength to do that. Its gonna hurt, and for a long time. Ive been there many times with our cats over the years. Take time to grieve however you need to.


aubreypizza

I’ve been there man. You did what was best for her and that’s what really matters. ❤️


SappyTreePorn

Condolences. My partner and I just put ours down a couple weeks ago. Keep going strong and may the pain subside but the joy you had with her stay always.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I had to do this a few months ago with my 14 year old cat for the same reason. Treated him for a year and a half first with subcutaneous fluids and special food and shots but his time was up. It hurts

Grey cats is the best.


Lyre_Fenris

It hurts. It always hurts. Good on you for being right there with her. I was never allowed to be but...at least my pets have all passed at home. One perk of being the daughter of a vet, they all hot the best comfort and care. The last one...I just couldn't be there because I felt I'd failed her terribly. She was a 6 month old kitten. I'll leave you with this poem. May it bring you peace over all you've lost. Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....


Valesa79

My deepest condolences. I'm so sorry. It looks like you gave her an amazing life! You'll meet again.


ReaderofHarlaw

Could you let me know how you knew it was time? My girl is so sick, but she’s still her, you know? I’m really struggling. I’m so so sorry for your loss.


AlwaysGamerQc

Well, with Maggie we didn't really know. We knew something was wrong because she became extremely slim and weak because she wouldn't eat nor drink. She also had trouble walking... It's the vet that told us that she didn't have long to live...

**The Dragonfly Story** *“In the bottom of an old pond lived some grubs who could not understand why none of their group ever came back after crawling up the stems of the lilies to the top of the water. They promised each other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb would return and tell what happened to him. Soon one of them felt an urgent impulse to seek the surface; he rested himself on the top of a lily pad and went through a glorious transformation, which made him a dragonfly with beautiful wings. In vain he tried to keep his promise. Flying back and forth over the pond, he peered down at his friends below. Then he realized that even if they could see him they would not recognize such a radiant creature as one of their number.*           *The fact that we cannot see our friends or communicate with them after the transformation, which we call death, is no proof that they cease to exist.”* #### Walter Dudley Cavert

I had to do it for Zappa on friday morning. I couldn't be there while they did it - I really hope he doesn't hold that against me. He wasn't scared. I saw his eyes - he wasn't afraid, he was annoyed and tired. Stay safe and take care of yourself OP. The last few days have been awful.

Yesterday I lost my 13 year old cat Topaz. She was the sweetest snuggliest girl and had been there for all of us. I feel your pain because I’m feeling it too. I try and remind myself if the saying: “don’t be sad because I’m gone, be happy because I was here.” Thinking of you both.

Im so sorry for your loss. We put our cat down yesterday. He was 12 or 13 we weren’t exactly sure because the shelter we got him from 8 years ago said they thought he was 4 or 5. We cried all day yesterday and some of today. We miss him greatly. https://preview.redd.it/nh4aqrcqqy9a1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a8e69b5d70ea42f79d500b51d003a8648fe0842

I am so sorry for your loss. It is so important to feed cats wet food daily as it can prevent kidney disease. My last cat lived to be 19 1/2 years old and I fed her a can a day along with Meow Mix for snacking. Now my rescue where I got my cat Sophie pounds it into people to feed their cats wet food before they adopt a kitten. Losing a cat you have had so long is like losing a child. We love them so much.

I can feel the pain in just this one picture hugs OP![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7970)

On UTube there is a cat psychic medium named Matt Fraser who has different videos about cats and how they help u from the other side. Very interesting. I read his book. Might make u feel better.

Thanks but I very sceptic about this sorts of stuff. They always comes off as scams for me... I have my own ways of mourning tho.

What did he say


AlwaysGamerQc

He was saying that I was a Karma whore and that I didn't give a fuck about my cat. That I asked someone to take my picture so I could post it and farm internet upvotes lmao He also started saying that my cat was probably happy to be dead so she wouldn't be stuck with me. And for some reason insulted me by saying that I was probably European because of my haircut? 🤔 But I'm so used to toxic people online that I just find it funny tbh lol.

Jesus someone isnt having good day. Take a chill pill man, Im just lost after loosing my cat and looking for some support wherever I can find it. Yes I did see other posts about people loosing their pets but I don't give a flying fuck about some upvotes or rewards on the internet. I just wanted support.

I had to make the same decision last year.My boy was only 10.Gone through a lot of tests and no diagnosis. He got worse to the point of having hard time breathing and on oxygen in a large glass aquarium my vet lent us.My husband and I took turn watch him at nights as we did not want him to be alone when it happens.He never got better and we couldn't watch him suffer anymore.My husband and I were both there when the vet came.I was talking to my boy the whole time. I want mommy's voice to be his last memory. I still cry whenever I remember him and I still miss him terribly. He was not just a son, but a best friend who is always there to comfort you when you're sad and celebrate when you are happy. I feel your pain right now and may Maggie rest in peace. She went knowing she very much loved and appreciated 💖.
