My cat. . .

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.

my cat. . ..

Oliver was 14 year old care and was put to sleep tonight. He had a tumor in his stomach that had grown so much, his other organs had moved to one side. His lungs were moving upward, so he was drooling, unable to eat and barely breathing. I have several pets, but he was my (and my parents) favorite. He was quiet and sweet and adorable. Even as he was slowly starving to death, he would seek out his favorite places and people. He was a beautiful creature and wherever he is, I hope he's happy.

My sister works at the vet and they put him to sleep. I believe she was with him at the end. My father is out of town, so my mother had to call him. She told me that he wasn't taking it well and that he was falling apart on the phone. It may seem silly to some, but after living with a cat for 14 years - nearly 15 - they are family. They are an extra sibling/child/family member - and you love them. So, yes, I'm beyond sad right now. I wish he could have stayed, but if he's no longer in pain, that's good. I'll miss him terribly.

I actually have a presentation tomorrow and then I have a field trip to a nursing home. I hope I don't start crying in the middle of class.
