Oh bless. I’m so sorry. It’s so horrible when you lose a pet because they are such a huge part of your life it really is like losing a family member but people just don’t seem to understand that looking in from the outside.
I know it must still be really raw for you at the moment but you will feel better in time and be able to think about your little pal without bursting into tears. I still miss my cats but it’s lovely to remember their mad little ways and I’m so glad that we were able to put them out of their misery towards the end rather than let them hang on in pain.

“It hasn’t given me the joy I thought it would – why? because I had to have my dear old cat put to sleep on Friday and I haven’t been able to eat since.”
Sorry for your loss.
Hoping that you discover your joy once again.

I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to Tetley.
I don’t think we are ever ready to say goodbye to our pets, no matter how much we know it must happen. And it is ALWAYS a shock! Even when its not a surprise, if you see what I mean. What a grand age 21 is, though!
Give yourself time to grieve. And at least you get something positive out of it.
RIP Tetley! Young and fit again!
I’m so sorry that you had to make such a hard decision. Tetley was blessed to have a loving family, and you were blessed to have Tetley for 21 yrs. I’m glad you had warning and were able to savor your last weeks together. please know that you and your family are in our thoughts. ((((((HUG)))))
congratulations on your weight loss. please try to take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself.
Annie, I realize it’s 2 weeks since you lost your cat, but I just joined this forum, and here’s a hug.
They are just like family. It’s so hard to part with them. My last dog, she lived to 17 years when I had her put to sleep. I kept her far too long. I just couldn’t bear to part with her. She wanted to leave sooner, but I was too selfish.
I hope you’re doing ok without your dear companion.
Hello Annie and betalean
Firstly Annie; I am so sorry for you having to have your beloved pet put to sleep. Like everyone else who has responded to your post; I can really empathise with you.
To people who really love their pets; pets are like members of the family and just as loved (if not more!). Also to have your cat for 21 years; that makes it much harder to bear.
Try and tell yourself that Tetley would be really pleased that you have lost so much weight and are now 8 stone something.
He would wish you every happiness going.
Hello to you too betalean
Goodness there is definitely no worse time to split with someone than Xmas. I don’t really know what to say to comfort you except be good to yourself over this ultra emotional time.
Try and have a nice time the pair of you.
