When will it stop???

Sorry for your loss. At 14 years I'd say he had a wonderful long life around people who loved him. They are not just pets, they are family members. Thinking of the great times you had together helped us and in due time you will feel better.

It is going to take a while, CTT, but you will get through it. I have had to put down a couple cats and a dog and, yes, I too went through all the feelings of guilt about not saying cost be damned and trying to prolong their lives. However, like your cat, my animals were all pretty well up there in age, had lived good lives, and I ultimately decided that it was not the money, but rather the fact that I did not want the animals to live a reduced quality of life, and so ended their suffering.

In time, I believe you will want to get another cat to replace the one you have lost. Will never replace your beloved pet, but will help fill the void.

Charlie, i'm really sorry and i understand you 100%. I was a kid maybe 14-15 when my first ever dog died on me, i'm in my 40's now and sometimes when i think of him tears come out. I have a 10 year old Husky now and sometimes when we play together i just get very sad just thinking that in a few years he won't be around, he looks at me and his eyes look like they are crying, do they understand that much? Anyway, again, sorry about your loss and no, is not that easy to forget or to go away. God bless you.
