Sudden weight loss in cat

I’m so sorry you have had this news. Reading this thread has been beautiful, although so sad. Your absolute love for him shines through. You have done a wonderful thing filling his twilight years with so much love and comfort, I hope you can take some comfort from that. Sending love to you and purrs to Eddie ❤️
 
Eddie was put to sleep last night. After great success with his meds for a few weeks, making him feel the best he had in a while, he started to decline. He was losing weight, losing hair and starting to lose enjoyment in things too… it was the toughest decision of my life so far, but we decided to let him go whilst he still had some pleasures left. Yesterday we spent a lot of time snuggled in bed and enjoyed many walks in the garden and some tasty snacks. His passing was very peaceful and we buried him in the garden this morning.

Right now I feel like life will never be the same… I have never known a more gentle animal. He was my perfect friend and my fiancé loved him dearly too. I guess our lives go on and in time we will get used to it, but for now I think it’s OK to wallow. I resent that we didn’t have more time with him and I feel awful that we had to take him to his death, even though I know it was a mercy. We loved him more than I can say. ❤️

Goodbye to the most perfect boy. I hope you enjoyed your time with us, even though it was shorter than we’d hoped.
 
So so sorry for your loss of Eddie, no words will help at the moment as everything will be too raw, but I am thinking of you and just wanted to say that Eddie was so lucky to be with people who
put his needs before theirs. Take care, be kind to yourself and I hope that you will be able to remember Eddie and his wonderful life with you.

Sleep softly Eddie
 
I am so sorry, but thank you for letting him go peacefully. It’s so hard on ourselves to make the call, but absolutely the last act of kindness we owe our wonderful companions.

Sleep well, Eddie.
 
So sorry, he was clearly a very special cat .
Please take comfort In the fact that you gave him a fabulous life and a peaceful send off x
 
I'm so sorry for the loss of the lovely Eddie. He was so fortunate to have had you as owners. You did your very best for him and, at the end, gave him a dignified and easeful end to his suffering.
Deep condolences.
 
Sending you gentle hugs from the heart Holly as I really am so sorry for your loss ,as I do know how much Eddie meant to you
Just echoing all the above posters in that Eds was such a lucky cat , and you a fabulous owner
RIP lovely boy. xxxxx
 
I'm so sorry for your (and your fiancé's) loss.

Oh my, how cute markings he had with that black nose! Big personalities leaves big holes behind in your life when they're gone, wallow as much as you need at the moment, hopefully time will soon make the gratefulness, and love from having had such a special cat, outweigh the current sadness, and emptiness.

I've just read your post. Rest in peace Eddie. It's hard to make that final decision, but you made the right decision. The last thing Eddie would have wanted was more suffering. Enjoy the good memories that he has left you and look towards the future. I know it hurts. We had to make that decision with our cat Romeo, too. Thinking of you and hoping that the pain has reduced somewhat since he left you.
