just 2 days ago...
and a couple days before that,he was completely fine and healthy,playing with the other cats
then,suddenly he starts crying constantly and hiding under things,i thought he hurt his leg when jumping off the table or something (because he's really fat)
so i cuddled him and was thinking he'd get better.
but then,the next day he started crying even more and he could barely walk,his breathing became labored and i then noticed something really disturbing...he was bleeding from his penis.
we kept calling veterinarians but none were open. and finally,only one vet was open,which was the OSU veterinary hospital.
we asked then about it and they think it was a urinary blockage which would cost anywhere from 500-800 dollars to fix and he would have to be in the hospital for several days...and go through much more pain than he was already in.
so we made the decision to get him euthanized.
he died with his eyes open.

i miss him so much...

That description will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I'm so sorry. :/ You did what was for the better. As long as he isn't suffering, that's all that matters.
I am sure you can find another healthy kitten to love. ♥

sounds like FUTI. my sister's cat suffered from that too-- we got him fixed up but i think it came back last year. he passed in november-- not sure if he was put down or not as i was studying overseas.
sorry about your loss ;__; it's always hard to lose a pet-- but as mentioned, at least he isn't hurting anymore.

you mentioned other cats? are they yours too? give them some extra attention, they'll be missing him as well i reckon.

@Gaga
thank you.

i have more kitties,though but all of them have different personalities and hold a special place in my heart. (that sounded corny,i know)
and my mom loved him like a child,i think she'll miss him most of all. :C

@antagonize
FUTI?
yeah...i couldn't stand seeing him in pain anymore...every time he cried it broke my heart...
i'm moving soon and where i'm going they said no cats but i'm going to try and change their minds because i can't leave my cats,especially after this.
they'll be so depressed...

@Damage
it's ok.
thank you. c:

@Ikaro
The same thing happened to my cat, Gunniess... We fixed him the first time, but it kept happening... so eventually we had to put him to sleep...

It is a terrible thing to have to do. I know. But you have to think that he's not in pain anymore, that he has all the hott babes he wants, all the wet mushy food he can eat :] That helped me, at least.
Also, knowing that he's buried in my backyard gives me comfort because I know I can 'visit' him whenever I want.

feline urinary tract infection. not a pretty illness, that's for sure.
wow, that would really suck having to give your other cats away after losing this one. i hope you can find a way to keep your cats. :c i know my cousin's staying in a place where they don't allow pets, but he and his housemates have a dog and they hide the dog's stuff and take him out of the house when house inspections are scheduled. not saying to keep your cats on the sly, but hopefully there's a way for you to still have them and not break property rules and stuff.

thank you c:

@Canine
yeah...it was pretty disturbing and depressing...he just looked like he was sleeping.
at least it wasn't like my one cat that we had put to sleep a couple years ago (she had cancer) after she died her mouth was wide open and this yellow foamy stuff was coming out....

@Sarah_Jane__Smith
thank you.
i did love him alot.
he was such a chicken crap but he was so lovable and cuddly.

@death-master
he was 6 years old.
i know,i made it sound like he was a small,young kitten.
nah,he was 13 pounds.
fatty.

i believe you! xD

@dhrei
that's so sad...
i COULD say he has lost of hot babe kitties now....BUT.
he was so gaaaay
he was a fat gay kitty that was afraid of lots of things for no reason.
we're gonna bury him in the front yard so the dogs don't dig up his little coffin...that's all i need right now...see my dogs...y'know....

@antagonize
that could be it.
like,when we were at the vet,shortly before he was put down,be was laying on his side and i was petting him and could feel an almost golf ball sized lump a little below his stomach.
i just hope i'll be able to bring one cat...
my little midget kitty that sits on my shoulder,i think she's a lesbian because when i get out of the shower she likes to stand on the toilet and put her front legs around me then rub against my boobs...it scared the love out of me the first time she did it. xD

I'm really sorry to hear that -- it's always really hard when you have to put down a pet. I had to put my dog down in January, he was my best friend for fifteen years, so I know what you're going through.

It's a disturbing thing to watch, but at least you were there with him and you did the best you could for him. ): I hope you feel better.

i could never let an animal suffer like that,it's horrendous. i can't imagine why they'd let their pet go through all that pain...
it's just...i've had so many good things happening lately, now this.
it'll be hard but,the pain will heal over time.

@neokaate
i know,me too!
i love my dog so much,i call her my daughter.
i've had her since she was barely 8 weeks old.
and she's turning 9 this year.
i know she won't die for a long time,because she's healthy and all but just thinking about it...i don't know what i'd do.

That is sad to hear. But I think you did the right thing, even though it was really hard. I've met people who just let their pets suffer, no matter how much we try to drill into their heads that it's wrong to let them suffer. I think it's more painful when you don't euthanize and such.

But I hope it gets better for ya. Keep your head held high, you'll be all right. c=

good luck with your cats! it would definitely help if you could bring at least one. how many of them do you have?
hahaha. my mom swears our first cat was gay-- when he was alive we caught him copulating with a male black cat who used to hang around our house so much we called him our cat's boyfriend. xD and my own cat wanders into my parents' bathroom when i go for a shower and is quite happy to lie on the mat in there until i'm done. (he also sits outside that bathroom when my dad goes for a shower, but that's probably because dad showers before dinner, which signals to the cats "HEY LOOK THE ADULT HUMAN MALE'S GONE TO PLAY WITH WATER WE GET TO EAT AFTER THIS."

It was rough, but at least I knew it was coming. What you went through sounds pretty awful -- just really sudden. I can't imagine having one of my pets go from being totally fine to needing to be put down.

ANYWAY THIS ISN'T HELPING *HUGS INSTEAD*

And yeah, for what it's worth, at least you were there with him and taking care of him -- he was loved right up till the end. :]

@antagonize
thanks! :3
i have 3 i did have 5 but i got new homes for 2 of them and i'm pretty upset about it,not because i don't have them, because the new owner isn't taking care of them right. first of all,one of them got out of the house and they barely looked for her now she's either gotten ran over by a car or attacked my some wild animal. second,the other cat has gotten out before but she comes back...and they LET the cat go out whenever she wants. the cat IS NOT fixed and she doesn't have any immunizations. the person we gave them to was one of my mom's friends,my mom has completely stopped talking with that person,the last thing she said to them was, "no,it doesn't work like that" after the other person was all proud about how they let the cat run around the neighborhood.

haha,i love gay kitties xP
cat's are so damn funny!

@Saudade
it's okay!
talking...er typing to all these people here on subeta is helping. :3
yup! ♥

@fenix
idk i get really bored while writing
but i could draw things that remind me of him. :3
oh! and the vet is going to give us a thingy with his pawprints on it,and his name.
that's gonna be really nice~ ♥

My dog just turned 7, I've had him for about 6 and a half years now. He had hip displasia, or however you spell it, when he was a puppy(we didn't know at the time) but hopefully that won't affect his lifespan. But either way, I suppose we oughta think about now, right?
I love him so much. Here's a picture.

@Ikaro
that's dreadful! if they've been indoor cats all their lives, getting adjusted to becoming an outdoor cat can be hard on them, especially if they're not that young. and letting them run around outside without shots/being fixed is asking for trouble Dx; all my cats are outdoor cats (the first one especially, he was a stray that we fed and ended up keeping) so i'm not against letting cats run around outside, but it depends on the location, i think-- some places are more suitable than others for cats to be roaming around outdoors.
our first cat died of tetanus-- i don't think he ever got shots, and we were planning on getting him fixed but then he got ill and passed-- but all our following cats got their shots and were fixed as we adopted them as kittens.

i'm not sure what he was,i was thinking siamese or some kind of mix?
when we got his he weighed just a few ounces and he was dying,some old woman was trying to take care of him but it didn't work,so we got him and nursed him back to health then he got HUGE he was 13 pounds... and he had a smiley face on his belly
and a little pooch (idk why,i call it a pooch it was an extra flab of skin on his belly)

you're welcome!

awww... that's terrible!
she probably said something like, i love you or,i'll miss you.
one time when i was in 3rd grade we had a cat that had kittens,they had fleas SO bad some of them died from it,like this one it was walking near me and rubbing on me,i petted it...then it fell over and died! TT_TT and another kitten from that litter,didn't die from flea infestation it was born with a head larger than it's body,it's legs barely worked,and it's head was soft,like marshmallow almost like it didn't have a skull. it was scary. but that was my favourite kitten from that litter.

@antagonize
cats are funny when they're angry!
aww....that really sucks!
i bet it'll be a joyous reunion,though.
you see that cat,the cat sees you,you run toward each other in slow motion...

xD probably not rofl.
my cat is terrified of strangers, and before i left we were very close-- i was literally the human he spent the most time with in the household: slept with me, purred for me etc.
the first time i came back from being overseas, he ran away from me. it was like he didn't recognise me at all ;___; took him a week to warm up to me again, and then the week after i had to go back for school.
he's gotten better at recognising me after a long absence, but i'm still afraid i'll come home one day and he'll be like... "who the love are you get out of my house you're scaring me aaaaaaaaaa"

@Canine
just the fact she looked up at you and meowed before she passed-- i found that pretty heartbreaking. :C like... both the fact she's trying to tell you something before she goes, and the fact there's no way to know what she really said. it's one of the times i'd do anything to be able to speak their language-- not that i don't wish it normally.
