You have my deepest sympathy. Truly. I've been through the same thing more times than I want to think about. It's never easy. I held 2 of my bunnies as they died. I'd hand fed them from the time they were 2 days old. (It can happen fast with rabbits.) I still cry as hard now as I did when it happened. Remember the good times... Yeah. It really, really sucks.

So sorry to hear about your kitty. :(

I lost my 11-year-old cat, Athena, a little over a month ago. I just try to think that I made her as happy as I could while she was my pet, and I'm sure you did the same for Poke. That's all we can really do is love them and care for them as best we can. It's horrible when they go, and I'm really sorry you had to make a difficult decision.

Hope you're hanging in there.

I'm sorry. :(
I'm an impulsive person by nature and HATE having to make a decision when the answer involves someone/something else that you can't get an opinion from first.
I'm going through my own crisis.
We rescued two kittens from a burned down motel. It never crossed our minds we'd go to the U.K anytime in the next few years as our jobs keep us in import friendly countries. As soon as we left Thailand, we planned on getting them pet passports so they could go with us when we do visit the U.K. That didn't happen. We have to go to the U.K now. No time to live in a buffer country. All the sudden our lives have been turned upside down, and now theirs, too. Vaccinations, desexing, providing a good home was something we could offer, but suddenly I have to make a choice to either stick them in a cage for six months and relocate them to a climate they are unaccustomed to.....or give them away so they can stay here.
