Just recently, a very good friend of mine had to have her
cat put to sleep. Her darling Alfie was
17 years old and had led a charmed life, but she was really struggling with her
health and euthanasia was the kindest thing to do for her.
As an owner, I think making this decision can be the hardest
thing in the world but if you can assess your pets quality of life, you can
help prevent suffering.
Cats Protection have created an essential guide which is designed to help you assess quality of life, help you
understand euthanasia, what it is and how it works and how to handle the grief surrounding this hard decision.
Losing a much-loved pet is a very traumatic experience and
you may go through a mixture of emotions – sadness, loneliness and even
anger.
My personal advice would be to
talk to friends and family… don’t feel guilty about your cats death, you made a
decision to end suffering – it was an act of kindness. Try to remember the good times you spent
together and treasure those wonderful memories.
I hope this blog post can bring some comfort, when needed
and please do take a look at the essential guide as I feel it will be very
useful essential guide
