No more pets for me...

2 days ago I had to bury a 2nd pet within 16 months. This time it was was my cat.  Cry
 
I got Danger when he was a kitten. He acquired his name one Christmas evening he ran in front of my car. I slammed on the brakes (on icy roads) but still slid into him. I figured Danger was more appropriate than Speedbump or Roadkill...LOL  The vet confirmed he was unharmed.  :claps:
 
Danger was the friendliest cat you would ever know. People who weren't fond of cats even liked him. He had quite the personality. If I had gotten him under different circumstances, I would have named him Garfield. He was orange & white and at one time weighed 20+ lbs.  Shocked
 
Danger was diagnosed with diabetes about 6 months ago. He was on medication and was eating cat food specially formulated for diabetic cats. When he died on Tuesday, he weighed less than a gallon of milk.
 
Danger was a good friend. He had spent the last (almost) 12 years with me. I will miss him always. Here is a pic of my oldest friend...

 
RIP Danger. Luv & miss you.

I've very sorry for you loss Melissa Cry I have 3 cats and know how hard it is to lose a pet. One of my cats is 14 and showing early signs of developing diabetes....he drinks water all the time. I worry about him constantly.
 
Danger does look like a Garfield. What a sweet picture.

OMG Melissa, I am so sorry! I had my cat for 20 years before I was forced to put him down from complications of kidney failure. That was the most devastating thing I ever had to do in my life. I know exactly what you are going through, and I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is like losing a member of the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Danger was absolutely adorable!  Embarassed
 
I adopted two cats after my cat was put down, and one of the two I adopted from the Humane Society ended up saving my life. I would say to give it awhile before making any decisions on future pets. You did give Danger a wonderful home, and he will be forever grateful to you for all your love and compassion. Smiley

I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your cat.  It's so hard putting a pet down, but just be comforted in knowing that you made his life, as well as the end of his life, as comfortable as possible.  
 
I still feel so sad thinking about putting my 15 year old cat Lucky down three years ago, but I still like to think about how much I loved him and how cool he was.

He's adorable, i'm so sorry for your loss. I remember when I came home from college and found my cat had died. At least he had a long and loving time with him.  Smiley

i'm so sorry for you...i've been giving my babies big hugs.  
 
and now today i come home to find my albino aquatic frog Two, laying perfectly flat on the bottom of his tank. Cry i know he's just a frog, but i got him right after my dad died last year and he even survived being in the car evacuating the hurricane....which i thought was sure death since my cat loved to stare at him in the tank that was his "traveling" home (one of those 1 gallon pitchers with the flip top).  
 
big hugs
