It's good that you're remaining open to the idea of getting another one or two.

I had my cat that I lost who I had for seven old working on eight two years ago. I lost my twenty one year old cat last November.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved cat, I lost my dog 3 years ago and I still hurt, I try to think of the happy times we had together and it helps ease the pain a bit.

I am so sorry for your loss and I know how you feel. Last Saturday we had to put down my "therapy" cat. People don't realize how attached we can all become to our animals. Just know that your kitty is going to be in kitty heaven hanging out with mine. They're gonna be fat and healthy and never get full on their food. They're gonna play and be waiting for you. Unless there isn't a flow of time there, and you're already there with them.

I know it's hard but you have everyone on here. You will get through this and if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here and so are many others.

(If I offended you about the kitty heaven, I'm very sorry. But know they're better not being in pain)

I don't want to euthanize her, but what choice do I have? I don't have any money to treat her symptoms of dehydration with, or pay to tube feed her, or pay to give her fluids to rehydrate her. All the treatments she could get to help her, I am broke and can't pay for. I have to wait a week to pay for her to be euthanized too.

I feel guilty as hell. I feel like ending her life, is like killing her. But what can I do? She is my best friend -- this cat. I feel so horrible.

I'm sorry! I had to put my twenty one year old cat down last month because she couldn't was or gain weight. She had worms and I deworm her several times using different types of deworm. I felt really bad.
