she died today, im not at home so wasn't there. my mum told me on the phone. psyche came in from outside dragging her back legs. my mum and her boyfriend took her to the vet where the vet said she had had a stroke. there wasnt anything they could do apparently and to feel her front paws because they were cold. they put her down there. it was so quick, within the hour of my mum taking her to the vet.
i'm really upset. we are a real cat family and psyche was gorgeous and ditsy, just really unexpected. what makes me even more upset is when i asked mum where she'd be buried in the garden she told me that they hadnt taken the body home. i asked why not and she said just because she didnt want to. i really dont understand :crying: how could she just leave her. my mum is ill and under a lot of stress but she's smart and must realise this isnt the way to do things.
our adopted cat blacky died recently of pneumonia (we had 4 cats) and he is buried in the back garden. we really loved him but we've had psyche for 10 years now. she was one of the original three who my dad loved too. im just so upset.

As a huge animal lover myself I know how hard it can be when a much loved pet dies or has to be put down. However as difficult as it is right now please try and remember that you gave psyche a good home and in exchange I'm sure psyche has left you with many fond memories x
:yes:
Awww hugs *hug*

Sorry to hear this, Rachael (what about your other cats. I thought you had one named Tulane or so), my thoughts are with you.
thanks guys for your kind replies , yeah turns out exactly thsi was it. my mum was sad enough and stroked her before she was put down and apparently didnt want to bring her home in a box. it just felt wrong. i jumped to the w rong conclusion as per usual. had a big cry last night. going to buy a plant with psy in the name to plant in the garden.
also the vet went into a long explanation as to why it was kinder to put her down but the main reason was so that she wouldnt be in any pain
matt yup indeed do have tulane impressed you remember her name! she's really 'my' cat so it's really awful having her sis die. poor psychs
Very pretty cat, focus on the positive parts, remember?
Hope you're feeling a bit better today. It'll get easier with time.
Big hugs for you
*hug*
We where all really upset when we had to out our first cat down (even my brother who hasnt lived at home for the last 8 years). Was a bit of a shock as well as her health detoriated really quickly.
blackie and psyche died in such close proximity together too. really, really gutted. glad im not the only crazy cat lady i love cats. have tons of gorgeous photos of her so will be getting them developed soon and putting them in an album.
edit: had to add this one of her, with the sun on her whiskers in the garden with the grass way too long but fun to play in for cats
