We lost our boy tonight. He came home but was obviously miserable. His abdomen was swollen and he was struggling to breath. He was also turning yellow and couldn't walk. I got to hold him for a while but he was so uncomfortable and was whining and asking for us to let him go.
We called the vet that had been looking after him tonight and she said in her opinion it would be best if we brought him back in to help him go. So we got to have him at home for a short time and I feel so bad that we had to bring him back to the hospital that I know he doesn't like. The poor guy was so miserable but I got to hold him and he was still and quiet as he went.
I'm feeling so bad that I put him through IVs and feeding tubes over the last few days. I'm so sorry his last week was miserable. We didn't know then what would happen and thought it was best at the time. He went downhill so fast now since Monday that although the decision was painful and difficult, it was clearly what we had to do - I just wish he hadn't been in pain and misery the last few days. I know it was the right thing now I just wish he hadn't been in the hospital the last few days.
This is going to be the hardest weekend for all of us. Zoe was so happy to see him when he was home tonight and she stayed by him. He was too young - he would have been only 2 years old next month.
I am so glad though that we had him for the short time we did. He was the best cat. I remember for the first few months after we got him whenever I opened the door coming home from school he would run up and demand to be picked up and then just purr and headbutt and purr. I didn't ever want to be away from him and fell in love with him on day one. He was so gentle, never scratched or bit anyone, even all the vets poking at him. And I'm going to miss his purring kisses in the morning when he decided it was time for breakfast. He was so brave and outgoing too, willing to go for car rides to visit people and rub up against anyone's legs. I had pet mice that stayed at my parents' house for a while and I just remember him pretending to watch them nicely and then when our backs were turning smashing into their cage trying to get them out. He was so playful and sweet and interesting and loving. We're going to miss him forever.

Oh I am so sorry that you have a Smudge kittycat shaped hole in your heart. Don't feel bad, you did everything you knew how to do to try and help him get better. Then you did the bravest thing of all, and held him as he went to the bridge.
I am sorry you lost your Smudge so young, but he was lucky in his two years to have so much love from you all.
Thank you for sharing his stories and we are sending you a thousand purrs and hugs across the ocean.
hugs and purrs
Poppy Q and mum
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your cat, they are so precious, and I know you will miss him so much, I recently lost 2 of mine, one was shot by my neighbour because he thought she was a stray, and the other was 18 years old. remember he has now crossed the Rainbow bridge and he is with all the animals who are waiting for him, Bless you
Carolyn
We're all so sorry for your loss. Smudge seemed like such a happy little guy. We're going to miss him, but not as much as you, his family.
It's gonna be hard for all of you, including Zoe, but remember that you really went above and beyond to try and help him fight the infection. Even over the last week with the special treatments, you only had his best interests at heart, so don't beat yourselves up about it. Like Poppy Q and her Mum said, you did the very bravest thing to hold him as you let himgo.
love and purrs
Gypsy & Tasha & Karen (Mum)
I am very sorry to learn that Smudge went to the Rainbow Bridge. My sincerest sympathies on your loss. Feel happy for the good times you had with him, and know that you always did what you thought was best for him. Sending soft purrs.
We are so sorry to here about Smudge. We think it was the best thing ta do though. Our purrs were for him. Now our purrs are fer you...
I am so sorry you lost smudge. He is at the bridge now playing in no pain though. You made the most unselfish decision for him and the hardest one a pet parent could make. You and you family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Pixel's Mommy
Oh...I am so sorry that Smudge lost his fight. You did everything you could and have nothing to feel guilty about.
The Bridge has a new angel today.
Please accept our sympathies, our love and our healing wishes.
Godspeed Smudge.
Mommys eyes are leaked ...
Headbutts and purrs for Zoe and beans.
When you look ups to the clouds know that Smudge is always looking back.

My poor little friend, I am so sorry to see you go. We will meet again sometime in the future during better days when you are not in pain. Rest easy now in the temple of Bast.
We are furry sad about Smudge. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers...
You let him go so he could run free and be well again. He just went ahead of you, but he'll wait, you'll see him again. Know that he watches over you now, he'll be your kitty angel.
The way to Cat Heaven is a field of sweet grass
where crickets and butterflies play.
A cat may be late in getting to Heaven . . .
there's so much fun on the way!
But an angel will wait at the yellow front door,
wait til a kitty comes home.
And when she arrives, he'll give her a kiss
and some milk in a bowl all her own.
There are trees in Cat Heaven,
trees made just for cats,
trees growing so green and so high.
But no one gets stuck in a tree anymore --
if a cat wants down, she will fly!
And oh the toys, kitty toys everywhere,
thousands and thousands go by.
There are buttons and baubles and small cotton mice --
there is catnip afloat in the sky!
There are angels, of course, with soft angel laps
where kitties can purr loud and strong.
The angels will rub kitties' noses and ears
and sing them a Cat Heaven song.
And when cats are hungry, there's God's kitchen counter
all covered with white kitty dishes,
full of tuna and salmon and mounds of sardines,
and wonderful little pink fishes.
The cats in Cat Heaven are so loved and spoiled
God lets them all lie on his bed . . .
He walks in His garden with a good black book
and a kitty asleep on His head.
Then when a cat needs, she may just simply ponder
and watch the blue world deep and wide . . .
She will watch the old house
where she once lived and wandered,
and the people who loved her inside.
All cats love Heaven, they know the way there,
they know where the angel cats fly.
They'll run past the stars and the moon and the sun . . .
. . . to curl up with God in the sky.

We are so sorry to hear that Smudge is gone. Thank you for sharing those wonderful memories of him. You are so special and lucky to have had such a sweet, wonderful, and interesting soul to be your friend. The ones we love so much it hurts are the ones we don't have enough time with. But you'll never forget him and that love either. Headbutts from Beau Beau & Angie and hugs from Brenda.
I am so sorry that Smudge has gone. It's always hard to know when to stop trying to treat them to get them well again, you tried your best and that's all anyone can do for a loved one, whether animal or human. Smudge was a lovely little cat and he is now at peace. Love to you all xx
We are so, so sorry about your losing Smudge, momma is sitting here with leaky eyes typing this for us. We will tell our brother Max at the bridge to be his friend and look out for him.
Purrs and headbutts,

we wish there could have been a miracle to save smudge. but like mom robyn said God puts us where we need to be when we need to be there. although smudges time here was short he gave your family what they needed at that time.
you have almost 2 years of very precious memories of your boy. he is happy and healthy at the bridge waiting for the time you will be holding him in your arms again.
we will be keeping your family in our prayers.

This morning's email brought The 10 Commandments of a Responsible Pet Owner and #10 is:
10. On the difficult journey, on the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Because I love you so.
As hard as it was, we're glad you were able to be there to say good-bye and help him on his journey.
We send purrs and prayers.
He will always live in your hearts. A lovely, loving tribute to a precious boy who brought so much joy to every life he touched.

We're sorry to hear the sad news about Smudge. You did everything you could for him, and let him go when it became obvious the disease was too strong. We send vibes and purrs of comfort to you and everyone who loved Smudge.
Oh our Mommy's eyes are laking so bad - she says it's not fair to lose a kitty so young. Thank goodness he can go across the bridge and be healthy and happy again with all those that have gone before.

Oh, I am so sad that it was time for Smudge to go to the Bridge. He was a sweet and brave little boy. He must be a special kitty angel now, since he brought so much love to your home.
Your buddy, Jimmy Joe
Our hearts are just breaking for you. It's so hard to let them go, but sweet little Smudge will live forever in the hearts of those who loved him.
Please try not to feel guilty for trying your very hardest to help him. Everything you did was an act of love and Smudge had to know that.
Loving purrs,
Rocky & mom Sharolyn
We are so sorry to hear the news. Smudge gave it a good fight and so did you. We understand how you feel. We felt much the same, when we lost our Ernie.
Maybe Smudge can be your "spirit guide" as Ernie is ours. We honor Ernie's memory in this way, to help keep him close to us. It has helped.
HUGS & PRAYERS~ Chancy, Jake & Ernie's Voice
We are so sorry for you and your family. It is never an easy decision to make when helping a beloved fur cross the Bridge. You did what you thought was best for Smudge and don't regret it. We lost our angel Colin Feral to lymphoma and he had only lived with us one month. We bet he's already greeted Smudge and made friends with him!

we are so very sorry that Smudge is gone to The Bridge. Please do not feel bad, you did everything you could, and Smudge knew you were helping him. You helped him try and make it, and when he told you he could not you helped him to the Bridge where he will be happy and watching over you until you come for him.
Goodbye sweet Smudge, we will meet you at the Bridge.
Our hearts are breaking for you, we are so sorry. You did everything you could and Smudge fought hard; he knows how much you love him and will always be with you, just in a different way. Like others said, please don't feel guilty about trying to make him well again.
He was with you for such a short time, but he needed you and you were there for him. (Sorry if this isn't makin' lotsa sense, Mom's eyes are leakin' really hard). He'll meet you all again someday at the Bridge. Thank you for sharing him with us.
Dear Sweet Smudge, you put up a good fight. We are glad to have known you even though it was only for a short time. We will meet again at the Bridge. In the meantime, Tippy, Rocky (woofie, but he's nice), Smokey, and all Those Who Came Before us will be there to show you around.
We are so sorry to hear that you lost Smudge. He sounds like he was a lovely boy. Remember that you did all you could and even though his life was short, you made sure that it was a very happy life.
Please give Zoe some cuddles from us.
Fat Eric and his mum
oh, no -- dear sweet Smudge.
i think what you're going through -- the regrets -- just naturally come with loss. for all the cats i've had and who have died under my care, i'm always haunted at first with the thought that there was something i could have done better. whether i kept them alive for too long with too many procedures, or acted too soon because i feared waiting too long.
helping them to move on never became easier, almost harder. and it should probably be that way -- not a casual event, but fully realized. the fierce personal agony does soften, and memories of our beloved's sweetness fill in.
but surely you couldn't have known the future. you gave him those last few days of hope. sometimes fluids and meds do help them to turn the corner, for a little while or a good long time. yet you tried, you never abandoned him.
he knew that -- you heroically did your best for him.
still, that said, i'm so sorry for your loss. and thank you for sharing his beautiful little self with us. he had a purrfect name, too...Smudge.
i hope your heart is filled to the brim with sweet memories of your friend.
I am so sorry to hear about Smudge :(
Do not feel guilty for offering him the best chance at life you could!!
Always celebrate ALL the days of his life,NOT the day he died.
Right now, you hurt and I wish I could fix that.
Purrs Mickey
I am so deeply sorry. I am so sorry.
Oh dear, Willow and I were so sorry to hear about sweet Smudge this morning. We know that you did everything you could for your sweet boy and you made his short life wonderful and filled with love. Our deepest condolences to your whole family.
Purrrrrrrs, China Cat & Willow & their mom
We are so sad that you had to let Smudge go to the bridge. We know that he was very loved and pampered kitty. It is always so hard to say goodbye. Purrs to you for loving him so much.
Don't beat yourself up for "putting Smudge through all that". Smudge was right there with you all the way, and he could and would have made it clear if he wanted you to stop. He wanted to stay as much as you wanted him to stay. Sometimes things just don't work out.
sending ppuuurrrrrs & gentle headbuttss
We are crying. We are so heart broken, we understand your pain. But we are glad he is without pain and free now...... He was lucky to have had you!!!!
Iz gonna miss yoo Smudge. Wait fur alla us at da bridge. We'll pway an pway fuurrrrevvvaaaaa den.
I am so so sorry:(
I know Smudge is a very good kid, and I am so honored to know about him!
He is very young, but I am glad once in his life, he has a terrific home.
Thank you for telling the story between you and Smudge, I will miss him as well~!
Deepest hugs and sending my sincere purrs to you and Smudge~!
Purr,

You did what was best at the time. You did the right thing by Smudge. It may not feel like it, but everything you did was to give Smudge a second chance. He was too young to go and not with you long enough. I am so sorry for your loss but please do not feel badly, you did only what was in his best interests and he knew this, right to the end.
My heart breaks for you x
Dear Smudge's Family,

Oh, we are sad to hear this news, on what is supposed to be Good Friday. It is Good that you were able to spend some loving time before he left this world.

I am so sorry to hear about Smudge. But you are not alone, my Mommie feels the same way about the last week of her first kittie's life too. He had CRF and went downhill in the final week so quickly. He lost 4lbs in one week and could barely stand on his own. My Mommie feels terrible that his very last night was at a hospital that he hated, in an oxygen tank. She says that you are lucky that you got to bring him home one last time, and that she is sure Zoe was glad to see him again before he went to the bridge.
Leo is welcoming Smudge right now at the Bridge and they are playing with all the other kitties, and eating many Temptations. After all, they both had not eaten much before going to the bridge.
Just know that he is in a better place and now will be your guardian angel. You should still talk to him everyday, I think he will like that. I hear my Mommie whispering to Leo every morning while she is in the shower.

All our eyes are leaky as we read your post. We know you did the best you could for Smudge. Holding him as he went to the bridge was very brave.

I am so very sorry that Smudge lost his battle with the parasite. Please don't beat yourself up over giving him all the treatment you could to help him get better. He knew that you were doing it because you loved him. I am glad that you had some time together before you had to let him go. He is happy and painfree now at the Bridge and will always look over you.
I was sorry to hear about Smudge's suffering and passing. It is hard to know the "right" thing to do, we all want to help our babies live. I think he was able to tell you when he was ready to give up the fight, and you did the only thing you could to help him. I'm sure you did the best you could for him all his life and he was lucky to have you. M.M.

I am sorry to hear about your beautiful Smudge. Two years is far too young to lose your kitty. I prayed for your Smudge after reading about him from the link to your site from Poppy Q.
My condolences to you and Zoe. The only thing I can offer is that Smudge is not suffering any longer and for that I am thankful. Peace and many purrs my friends.

Hello
We learned of the news by our friend Stifler.
We are sorry that Smudger has gone well. He was still very young and deserved to have been much more time with his family.
He was very beautiful and tender. We regret not having known before.
Just been to give our condolences.

I'm so sorry that you have this pain. And don't feel bad about trying to give him the best medical care. We've all been there. You did it out of love.
We are so very sorry to hear about Smudge... Do not make yourself feel bad - you did exactly what you thought would help Smudge at the time. It is so hard to have to make these decisions and watch our dear ones suffer so. Mommy knows this pain all too well. All of our hearts go out to you.
