Having a hard day…

Good evening.

Ugh, today was a rough day. I had to say goodbye to my kitty of 15 years because of liver cancer. 😔 it’s been an emotional roller coaster the last 2 weeks as we tried medications to see if we could keep whatever was happening at bay but we were not successful. I’ve been so emotional all day…my head and face hurt from crying so much and tonight my body literally aches and I just feel sick. I really don’t know if I’m coming down with something or if it’s all from the immense stress my body has gone through. Throw the fact in that I’m 35 weeks pregnant and it’s just so much emotional strain, worrying that me being so emotional will affect my little one. I know it isn’t she just had a check up and all is normal, I’m just in this worry cycle right now. My heart rate is high as I’m super anxious and just laying here trying to rest and I keep checking it which makes it worse..took my blood pressure earlier and 110/78 so just fine. I know it’s all my anxiety and stress from having to put my cat down but it’s just so overwhelming and I hate feeling this way. I have a toddler running around that makes it so hard to try to relax and do deep breaths and tell myself this will pass and I will be okay. Just Needed to share/vent…its been a rough day. 😔

So very, very sorry to learn that your beloved kitty ascended to Heaven. I've been a cat parent for more than 51 years. I know the pain and sorrow you speak of all-too-well.

Try and see it like this. After all those years of bliss, your kitty's body simply fell victim to a horrible malady. And your kitty was freed from that failing body.

But kitty's soul lives for eternity. Yes, I truly believe that...

Godspeed.
