(I was expecting it soon, not this soon)

 

[Claire Yeon]

Expectation does not mean it is any less painful. You did the right thing. It might not feel like it, but you did.))

 

[Invader]

(I just feel sorry they suffered like that)

Feral cats suffer more in an outdoor environment. They get hit by cars, mauled by dogs/cougars/other large animals with sharp teeth, and can suffer from diseases and conditions found in the outdoors that can lead to "natural" yet debilitating deaths. You gave them a good life, for what they came from.

(mine had sudden onset hyperthyroidism and kidney failure)

 

[Victorique]

It weirdly enough happens a lot in tabby cats

 

[Claire Yeon]

Sometimes we prolong the inevitable, for our own selfish reasons. My brother put his dog down a month ago, and when I knew it was coming I asked him to wait long enough for me to make the trip to them and say good-bye. I was glad for that chance, but when I saw him (the dog) I could see how much pain he was in and that it probably would have been kinder to make the decision sooner. There is no winning in a situation like that, and there is no good to come in dwelling upon what might have been done. Yes, there may have been suffering at the end, but they were also surrounded by those who loved them in life and would not turn away when the path became difficult. Many human beings have gone to their graves unattended by as much real regret as we have bestowed upon our beloved companions.))

(I dont like to make anything suffer)

 

[Neb]

I hope humans get that option someday...

 

[Neb]

I'm glad it's an option in some places, at least.

 

[Charlet]

My mom should of had the option. I think she was murdered actually

 

[Charlet]

It would of been nice to have been there when she died, But she got me out of the way of dying myself
