cat breed or tomcat.

I had a siamese male who I had to put to sleep because he had a tumor on his thyroid glands that were inoperable. I had him 14 years..... his litter mate I found dead just 6 months prior to that.... It was such a sad time for me.

OMG, sorry to hear that, i bet was a sad time!!

i had to put him sleep too . he was suffering and that doctor said he couldnt do anything for him.
my history with this cat was. my husband got from the pet store from mecoz i just had lost a baby. so he tought giving me a cat will solve my depression. i got very attached to him but not for too long. yeah i know is how to loose a pet. some people dont believe in that, they tell u how can u cry for a pet or even a cat!!. so just keep for myself.

When you have a pet for so long its like a family member. I cried off and on for days. I'm an emotional person who cant always hold them in, but thats ok too.

yeah me too. we cried for month with my hubby ..was like we lost another menber of the family coz was our firs child that we expect it. but anyway he brough lots of happiness to us . still have his tooth when he was a baby, i know is silly but i found it when he was teething.

awwww....thats sooo sweet. I dont have anything of my cats, but that sounds exactly like what I would have done.

lol.. i guess he was well loved!!

I had a beautiful solid white cat that was 20 years old and I had to put her to sleep on June 25th, 2007. Her name was Snowie kno kno for short. She was mine long before she was born(July 3rd,1987) I had her mothers owner while I was in hospital recovering from surgery. Snowies mother was solid white just like her. Out of a litter of 7 Snowie was the last one born. We had alot of wonderful years together! I miss her so much that everytime I see something that belongs to her I cry my heart out. She was the child that I could never have. Her vet said that she had had a stroke the day before and I did the right thing by her. I chose not to let her suffer. I know in my heart I did the right thing,but it still hurts terribly!
Now I have 2 young kittens that are 15 weeks old. One of my girls her name is Graysie and she is a long haired solid grey colour. The other one her name is Kayleigh and she is a calico, Her markings are quite unique! I have never seen a cat with her markings before.
I got Graysie the day after snowie died and Kayleigh came 3 days later. Some of my friends keep saying that I replaced snowie far too soon,but when I saw these lonely kittens in a cage at the vets office I know that since I could provide a good loving home to them I adopted them both.
I feel that I didnt replace snowie I just helped out 2 little ones that needed me as much as I needed their love and companionship. We have been a happy family since and I tell the girls all about their great great etc. aunt snowie!

Hi laura!!, that was a very lovely history, of course u did the right thing. you knew it the snowie was very sick, yes is hard to let him go. i couldnt do it eather, actually my husband went himself to do the same with my manolo.
in the other hand you got the 2 beautiful kittens, you are not replacing snowie because he is always in your heart, just you are given a home to 2 little ones that were waitting to be adopted, and usually ppl adopt more dogs than cats.anyway, tnx for ur share ur history and i wish u all the best in ur life.
take care...:)

I have raised cats for 17yrs now.I now own 22 cats.The oldest is 17 yrs old she's still living.I'm on vacation now but call her everyday to let her know that I'm thinking of her.
