I understand the feeling, especially if they're someone you've known all your life. My cat who passed away in 2011 had been around as long as I had; there was no sign of illness, I just returned home one day and she wasn't breathing. While the next few days were painful, I fortunately didn't have to go through the struggle of making the decision to actually put her down, as I can only imagine how frightening and unpleasant that must be.

It's alright, the thread is making progress through its casual pages of conversation. Besides, you're explaining why you may not be able to contribute, which by all means is totally fine. If you do want to go into greater detail still, I may recommend this topic for doing so. :)

I apologize for veering this thread off-topic. I just needed to get all that out.
:ouin: I have up to four cats, but one of them died, because he also had tumor in his abdomen. He spend few weeks just lying on my bed, and he did not eat almost anything fixed, only liquids. One morning when I woke up, he just was dead... Few days after that were really painful, I understand you, Earth Gwee.

My condolences, Earth Gwee. You know, one of my cats passed away few days before Christmas in 2012. He was a grey persian cat, a really pretty one. He died because of a genetical decease in the kidnies. It happened from all sudden and there was nothing we could do... :(

My condolences. I've had several that pass away as well. First one got hit by a car, second one because of old age (Sadly this happened while I was on vacation, and it didn't allow me to enjoy the rest of my trip. Had that in my life for thirteen years.), and one even got caught by coyotes. Horrible events, and it takes a lot of time to get over it.

I'd figure that sometimes people might try to come up with a more creative phrase than 'my condolences,' but that's none of my business. ;)

Well it's the kind of situation where you never know what to say. You have my sympathies, Gwee.

It conveys the feeling well, especially if you don't really know how else you could let someone know, that
Earth Gwee, I'm sorry for you.

Thank you, guys. I'm still horribly grieving, but I feel I have become a little bit stronger. I have to keep in mind that Buddy was strong and hopeful too, despite his pain. That's something so many people can learn from him.

Holy crap, indeed!

I'm sorry to swing the mood around like so, Gwee; of course I'm still very sorry for what happened.

Indeed, not to mention that my entry isn't all that, and the prizes on offer are pretty darn good.
