Today is a very sad day

I'm so sorry, Katek. They are such a big part of our family aren't they, you must have some wonderful memories over 20 years. Bless you all

Oh Kate. I’ll be thinking of you both. I think we know when it’s time. x x x

Thinking of you 💔

I'm sorry. I hope you have something nice planned for later.

It's so hard to say goodbye, even when we know it's the kindest thing we can do. Thinking of you.

My thoughts go with you.

I am sorry, almost 20 a great age for a cat, not much of a comfort but I'm sure he had a good life with you. Always sad to lose a much loved animal, they are members of the family after all

My heart goes out to you but you have given him his best life , and when you think about it, to fall asleep in the arms of those you love and who love you best is a privilege not granted to many of us.
Sleep well, faithful feline friend 🌈

I'm so sorry and thinking of you today. We had to do this for our dear old boy 6 weeks ago and it left me heartbroken 💔. But remember you are doing the last kindness you can for him after a wonderful life 💐

My thoughts are with you. I remember when the time came for Shosar, Rupert and finally Jemima. All dearly loved cats. I remember each one with love, as you will remember your lovely boy cat.

Thank you all for your kind words and understanding. Very much appreciated.
This is the boy when he was 12, this is how I will remember him

It’s a huge chunk of your life. We’ve had to do it with a cat, several dogs and 2 horses and it never gets easier. Just focus on the good times you had and know that he had the best life with you.

💐

I'm so sorry Katek. I know how hard it is to go through this and my heart goes out to you.

I love the photo ... he's a handsome boy and looks a cute character, and will live on in your memories and in your heart.

I’m so very sorry. Yes it is the right thing to do but so very difficult. He has had a wonderful long life thanks to you and will fall asleep knowing he is truly loved. Thinking of you and your dear boy. 💐

Oh Kate this is 💐 for you with a cyberhug.
Was there with my 15 year old dog earlier this year and all you can do is be the best you can for him today xxxx

Sending you (((hugs))) Katek it's heart breaking but you know you're doing the right thing .

Oh he's beautiful. Know how you feel, I had an old stray he eventually trusted me enough to come indoors. He slept in a basket back of the dining room. He passed away in the night, couple of years ago. I was heartbroken. 💐.

Here's a (((hug))) from me, too

I’m so very sorry, Katek - I do know how painful and what a horrible decision it is. 💐
Once had to go through this with both cat and dog within 6 weeks, having had both for over 14 years.
The only comfort is that you’re doing the kindest thing for your pet.

💐. Foxy said it all. X

I've had to have 3 cats put to sleep. The oldest was 20, like your lovely mog. A horrible business but you're doing the right thing. All best wishes.

Even though you know it is the kindest thing to do it still hurts. I have held each of our cats as they received the injection because it seemed important that they knew they were loved right to the end. DH could not get out of the car! Today will be so sad.

My nephew was very upset when his 18 year old cat had to be PTS a few years ago. She was having fits and had become blind. He swore he would not get another cat. Then one of his friends brought him a ginger kitten in a box and he could not refuse. Today the kitten has grown into a lordly big ginger cat with the usual stripy tail.
