its 5 days before my wedding and im devastated

as u all know my cat has been sick these past few months. well the vet said he believes Boots has cancer and we had to make a decision whether to do surgeries, try all these meds and tests, and hes already at least almost 17 (could be as old as 19- we found him 16 years ago). The vet said if we decided against this, and to put him to sleep, he wouldnt try to talk me out of it, becuz it may be best for him (since we all believe Boots is in pain). ive been fighting this for weeks cuz i didnt wanna feel like i was giving up on him, but after seeing him cry every night, without being able to do anythig to comfort him for months, and his attitude and demeanor changing everyday,i had to do what i thought was best for him, so i said goodbye to him this morning, and we put my baby to sleep. I am absolutely devastated, but know it was for the best.
thanks for all ur support over the months ladies, i greatly appreciated it.

I am so sorry I know how hard it is to lose a pet. At least your cat is not in pain anymore. It's a hard decision to make. I know it's so hard with pets because they are like a member of your family

I am so, so sorry that you're going through this. You know I know how much it hurts. If you need to talk to someone, please don't hesitate to FM me. Just try to remember that you had your cat for a very long time, and that he loved you very much.

You found him 16 years ago & gave him a good home. He had a good life thanks to you. I have 7 cats. All are found, rescued, or stray. You did a good thing 16 years ago. It is devistating to loose a pet you've had for so long. With all the little kittens in the shelters I'm sure you will find another to care for. Hang in there.

ugh... you just brought tears to my eyes! its better this way so he's not in pain anymore... poor thing! this may sound extra silly, but since you're so close to your wedding and it was like he was a part of the fam... how about attaching a small pic of him to your bok, dress, etc ?
