Hobbes is going there next weekend. He has an eye melanoma and another cancer in his face that's inoperable. I just want to thank all of you who have been so supportive. My sister is coming from Dallas to make this a bit easier on me. It's a tough decision, but I feel like I'm doing what's best for him, even though I don't want to let him go. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hey, it's a very tough decision,i know i've had to make it several times. The best cat i ever had, had cancer eight years ago and i still miss him. He was more than a mere cat to me.

I lost my English Springer Spaniel to lymphosarcoma two years ago. She was fifteen. Even chemotherapy was too risky at her age. She was given prednazone to make her comfortable. She died in her sleep two months after being diagnosed. She suffered very little.
In the end she had become a dog to old to run and play. To her doctor just a patient. To others, simply one whose time had come. But to me, she was my friend who just happened to be a dog.
I'm sure that what you are doing will prevent needless suffering and pain.
Best wishes to you both.

:heart: :heart: :heart: I'm sorry for your loss. Sometimes I get caught up in my own world and think I'm the only one who's ever suffered.

Theres a great book for greiving pet owners called "The Rainbow Bridge" which talks about the afterlife for pets. And theres another one called "ghost cats" about cats who come back to say goodbye to their owners.

I know its a hard decision and it sucks like no tomorrow, but you will make it thru, and your buddy will be watching you, just further away now =)
