Had to put our 21 year old kitty down today

[tinymontgomery]

Socks came to us during a storm with her babies and never left. 21 years of not eating anything but dry food and drinking water. Kept our dog in line when she gets a little frisky. All ready missing her walking across the keyboard and stopping right on it while she typed ggggggggggggggggg across it.
Kind of hard to see her go and I think the dog is already noticing. At least she didn't suffer. Well, tough night in the household.

15. 21 years is friggin awesome. My baby died last year at 14 and it crushed me.

I'm sure you have tons of great memories of Socks. It sucks so much to have to say goodbye to them.

Socks knew where she would be safe and loved when she brought her family to you.

[SEMOVoter]

17. So sorry for your loss,

Also glad you had 21 years together.

[TuxedoKat]

18. Ah, so sorry

for the loss of your beloved Socks. It's so hard to lose a pet at any age. How nice that you had her for so many years, it's never long enough though, and when they are with you so long you just feel lost with them gone. (((HUGS)))

19. Sorry for your loss. We have 2 15 year olds,,,,,

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. I am so sorry. Very hard to lose our fur-babies, even after a long and happy life with them. *hugs*

I had to let mine go at 15 and 16. So difficult because I wanted more time with them, but I had to listen to what they needed, not what I wanted.

[ceile]

21. Sorry to hear that.

21 years is a lot of love to give and receive...

[Phentex]

22. I'm sorry. We're about to face this

with one of our dogs. I know how much it hurts!!!

Was 21, too. I had to have her put down a couple of years ago. They become such a part of your life. Hugs to you for your sad loss.

[RebelOne]

24. So sorry for your loss.

I have lost 3 fur children in the past 10 years. It is heartbreaking. They were my children.

[hamsterjill]

25. My sympathies.

I am so sorry for your loss of Socks. What a success story, though. Twenty-one years is a wonderful length of time for a kitty to have lived, and to have lived in a home where she was loved and treasured. I salute you.

When the time is right, and only you will know when that time might be, I hope you will consider adopting another kitty that needs you just as Socks needed you at the time she arrived during the storm. I am a cat rescuer, and good homes such as yours, are the stuff of dreams for people like me.

Again - I am very sorry for your loss. I thank you for loving Socks and providing for her. May you find comfort and peace.

26. deepest sympathies

[LiberalEsto]

27. So sorry

I'm sure she had a wonderful life with you.

[tinymontgomery]

28. Again thanks every one

Came home and kind of interesting the dog is roaming around and checking out all the spots where the cat should be hanging out. They were together for 12 years. Seems to miss her buddy.

29. So sorry for your loss

Pets are the best friends.

I'm so sorry.

We had to put down a dog last year, and it was months before I could talk about it.
