This is my cat Belle, this specific photo is about 3 years old. She is currently 17, but today had been diagnosed with very aggressive lung cancer. She will not make it to Christmas, and we have decided to put her down tomorrow to spare her the pain of what is to come.

I don’t know why I’m posting this. She’s spent the whole day with me in my bed since coming home from the vet. She hasn’t left once, not to drink, not to eat, not at all. Her breath is becoming more labored, and a part of me wonders if she’ll make it through the night. I suppose that doesn’t really matter anymore.

Thank you to whoever read this, it means a lot.

    I’m so sorry! What a heart breaking decision. So glad you had each other for those 17 years, so precious!

    We had to put down one of our kittens a few months ago unexpectedly. I was absolutely devastated and heart broken and was in a zombie mode for weeks after. I’ve not felt a loss like it.

    So let your heart hurt and grieve, thank you for sharing her memory with us. You are not alone.
