I am so very very sorry - it is hard to know what to say. . . .

Our old girl passed away at home last year. There was a gradual decline over 24 hours and we knew it was going to happen. We made her comfortable and all of us lay down next to her (she wasn't the sort of cat to like to be hugged, either) and told her how much we loved her but that it was okay for her to let go. We kept saying this over and over again, gently stroking her from time to time but more importantly, talking softly to her. She knew and we knew what was about to happen so we just let her know that we would miss her but that it was her time to go.

My thoughts are with you at this very difficult and sad time.

Thanks girls, she is 18 this year so it's not like she has been taken young, but, well you all know.

I've given her strokes but don't want to bother her. She has always been affectionate ( very much of a washing you cat ) but on her terms, and I don't want to bug her.

My hubbie has arranged the ' other stuff ' for tomorrow ( er, a while you wait service ) so she won't be away from home long. Fortunately his boss is a cat person.

As some of you may remember from a while back, my oldest girl is hyperthyroid, hunking great thyroid on left hand side.
Well, early hours of this morning, I heard a cat being sick by the cat tray, so I went to check and my lovely old tiny girl was lying in the tray ( after having been sick, she has almost always, if got the urge to honk, managed to make it to the tray ). Completely out of character. ( Well indeed for any cat ).
Anyhow, after we got her settled on her cushion and everything, I was stroking her and noticed the ' hunking great thyroid ' was no more. The lump ( whatever it was ) has burst. Oh ( insert choice swear word ) hell.
This is a cat who was absolutely great at the weekend, trying to steal my babies food when I fed her as she normally does.
She had some water this morning and moved about but things have gone downhill in the last few hours.
Anyhow, she is now upstairs with her cat family, as comfortable as I can make her, waiting for my hubbie to get home early to take her to the vets.
I feel so powerless, I can't drive, no local vets I like do housecalls, there is no-one who can get over to look after my daughter in order for me to get her there before my husband could anyway. I can't leave my daughter with anyone because of her current disability, and couldn't get to vets any quicker anyhow.

Just posting here because you all understand.
