My cat. . .

[walkwithheroes]

is being put down tonight. He's 14 years old. He, Oliver, had a tumor in his stomach that was growing. The tumor had pushed his organs to one side. In fact his lungs were going up his throat - which was why he was drooling - he couldn't breath.


I have many pets, but Oliver is/was my (and my parents) favorite. He was a sweet, gentle, funny cat. I'll miss him terribly. There is a part of me that wishes he could have hung on for a bit longer, but he was starving to death and wasn't able to breath. My younger sister was with him when they put him to sleep, so I'm glad he wasn't alone.


I'll miss Oliver, and I hope he's somewhere beautiful. I hope to see him again, someday.


Edit: thanks for all your kind thoughts. They help.

i'm sorry. i dont know what i'd do if i had to experience that with my cats.
it must be hard. he'll watch over you now.

Thank you. It's fairly hard, especially as he leaves behind two siblings from the same litter/liter. They are already looking for him. So, I'm sure we'll all be depressed for a while. I do like the idea of him watching over me, now.

Thanks for your thoughts.

This is so hard to hear. :(
I've never experienced the death of a pet yet but I know it's something that happens to all pet owners eventually. At least It's good to know that your Oliver is no longer suffering. My dog's name happens to be Oliver too. :)

Oliver is one of my favorite names. I hope that wherever he is, he's happy and no longer in pain. Thank you so much for your kind words.
