Charlie, you did what any responsible pet owner needed to do. I just put my lab down last month. It has been bothering me ever since. At 16 years of age she was not the same. My best friend was her vet and said she probably had tumors on the brain and showed signs of other health issues, such as dimentia. She was walking in circles and I couldn't get her in the house. She would stand outside in the pouring rain even in thunderstorms (that she feared). She would run from me and her hind legs were shot. I couldn't even pet her.
I miss Buca... but I know what I did was right for her, as what you needed to so for you beloved cat. I look at Buca's pics from pup to later years. She was not herself, she was sick and she was not happy, I would not have wanted to live any longer if it was me in her place.

thanks all. i just couldnt ever have imagined it would be this tough. my 12 year old is a mess. those two loved each other, and the kids have never known life without their cat.
road king, we already have a dog and in her own way i think she misses him too. i dont think it would be the right thing to do at this time to replace him. i feel like i would just have all these expectations and the new guy wouldnt live up to them. i just dont think it would be fair to him, or me right now. maybe in the future, when we have healed completely but right now, we're just gonna stick with that stupid dog. thanks again all, it just good to know that others have gone through this and the hurt eventually goes away. regards, C

Gotta disagree with you CTT... Although you may not realize it, now is the perfect time for a new cat. Waiting for the healing to complete is like waiting for the ocean to go dry... it ain't gonna happen.... But the whole idea of the new cat is to keep your mind from dwelling on your lost friend and also to start getting into a rotinue with the new cat...feeding, grooming, catching mice together, watching football games together... you get the idea.. Yes my friend, it's time....

I had to put my dog down in 06 that I had had since I was just a little kid, and then last year my dad's dog. It was wierd though that not even a month after I had to put my dog down, another dog was droped off on our road that had been beaten badly. After I had to put my dad's dog down, low and behold another abused animal showed up at my uncles place across town. So now I'll take in drop-offs as they seem to appreciate having a home, and appreciate any love that you give em. Just don't think of them as a replcement, they can never replace your long time friend. Think of em as a new friend.
