Hey, /an/. My cat died today.

I let her outside, because she really wanted to go out. I figured she needed to pee or something and that she'd be back.

We found her 24 hours later, curled up by a radiator, dead. We managed to guess her time of death; she had only died about an hour after she had gone out. She had been sick for a very long time... it was kidney failure, something we think she had her whole life. She was only five years old, and she had always been a small, frail cat. We figure she was born with it, and that it was only a matter of time.

I am so distraught. She brought me so much joy over the years, and I'm going to miss her very much.

The reason I'm making this topic, /an/, is that I want to know: do you think she suffered? She just went outside to find a place to curl up and die...

I am honestly crying right now. If she had a painful death, I could never forgive myself.

You guys have no idea what this cat meant to me.

All I want to know is if you think she died peacefully or not. There's no reason to be dicks about it.

Peacefully, yes, but probably in some pain.

Either way, don't come crying to 4chan about it. Take her to the pound for incineration and start looking for new kitties, then make

I'll be blunt about this. There is no good way for your cat to die, every option for death carries at least some pain. That said, be thankful it was natural causes and not torture by some retarded kid.

Give yourself some time to deal with it, then maybe look for another. There are lots of cats alive right now that would like to come by and mooch some food from you.

probably.

i would like my pets to be with me when they die, but they will most likely get under my house and die there.

Motherfucker, you're too smart for us. Your detective skills are sharp and honed like the sword of a mighty, ancient, samurai.

If you love /b/ so much, I recommend you go back there.

If your cat had suffered, OP, she'd have let you know. As it is, anon is right, there are hundreds of horrible ways for cats to die, mostly at the hands of humans, but a long life and peaceful death is really all anyone can ask for in the end, human or feline.

>>344177
Call it a hunch, but might you be high right now? If so, why don't you set aside the money you have for your next fix and use it to get your cat some help? You could always pawn your computer, since you obviously still have that..

I had a beautiful white growing up and it swear it committed suicide. We lived in a townhouse and my bedroom was on the second level with a window overlooking our back yard. It was quite a drop and one day my cat was laying on the window sill with my window open for a nice breeze. All the sudden my cat got up, stretched and fell sideways out the window. He landed on the patio below. I even think he landed on his fee but he just laid there.

When ran downstairs I noticed this brown stuff all around his back. Come to find out his back broke and he shat upon himself. Soon after we put him down and I buried him beside the porch where my mom grew greens every year.

After that each time I ate the greens I felt like I was ingesting a part of Spooky, my white cat, and as sick is it might seem I felt he was closer to me/a part of me.

You can take that any way you want but I know your pain.

My cat did this.

Prideful old bastard, he was. Cheers, mate.

One of my cats died of kidney failure. He didn't leave before he died(this is instincual, cats often congregate on one location and will at least try not to die there so as not to make others sick). We stayed up with him, kept him comfortable. Purred to his last breath.

If it was kidney failure, then I guess you can take heart in this: it is a painful condition as it's progressing, but for the last few hours, as their body slows down and they slip into shock, they don't feel it.

op please disregard all these virgin faggots from /b/

More trolls on /an/ today than normal.

Anyhow, if she had been sick for awhile, as you said OP, was she on medication? Did she see a vet? How could she get to the point where she's going to keel over and die without you like, you know... putting her down or getting her treated or shit. You may have, I don't know, just judging from your post it seems like you could have been a better owner.

But I am sorry for your loss, losing a kitty is really hard, especially when they're so young. I'm sure it was a happy, loved kitty though.

We took her to the vet as soon as we noticed that she was getting abnormally thin and eating less. They took blood tests, hydrated her, and found out about the kidney problem once the bloodwork got back from their lab. The treatment was getting her kidneys flushed out; three days in a row she spent almost all day at the vet getting all of the poison cleaned from her system. After she got home the third day, we bought some medicine to give her, and had planned to start her on it the next day.

That was the night she went outside and died. She was always an outside cat, so like I said in the OP, I figured maybe she was feeling better and just needed to go out and go to the bathroom. I feel so guilty because even though she could have gotten outside any other way (open window, pet door, etc), I'm still the one who let her out. I feel like I sent her off to die. The medicine might have given her a chance.

Other than that, my family and I did everything we possibly could for her.

Cats, and many dogs, when they know their time has come will go off and hide to die alone.

You didn't kill your cat by letting her out. She would have hidden in your house if not let outside. She knew it was her time.
You should be happy she got to die a peaceful death, curled up warming herself. I'll be lucky if i get such a treatment when my time is up.
Sounds like you were a wonderful owner to her. She was lucky to have someone who cared so much.

Also, thanks. Even if you're just some guy on the internet, that means a lot to me.

Two of our cats we saved from a dumpster, and she was one of them. I can take some solace in the fact that she had five good years with me that she wouldn't have had had I not done anything.

She was just the most precious little cat. She helped me get through a lot of depression over the years, and she meant the world to me. I just need some time, I guess...

I know 4chan isn't my livejournal, but it's just not fair. She was supposed to stay with me until I was 35. It was just too soon, it still feels so unreal.

It keeps sinking in little by little that I'll never see her again.

some people are just insensitive because they either
1. are faggots who didnt know the joy of having a pet to love you
2. and perhaps maybe they are just heartless people.

anyway.. like i guess you seen this quite alot of times.. dont be too upset... i was thinking maybe your cat do know how upset you will be if you seen her die thus she 'requested' to go outside to enjoy her last moments in the beautiful environment outside and to spare you the sight of having to watch her die.. Dont be too hard on yourself.. you have done whatever you can to her to make her life easier... focus mor eon the happy times you have with her and not her death...

When my dogs were poisoned 3 years agho.. i was angry beyond anything else... but after thinking about it i decided to focus on the happy times i had with them instead of wishing that bastard or bitch who poisoned to be killed a horrible death and to rot in hell...

Don't feel bad about posting here. /b/tards are /b/tards. I would be equally upset in your shoes.

I had a cat die recently. He was not as fortunate as yours to get a peaceful death... It was very hard on my family.
We adopted a kitten a few months later. She couldn't ever replace him, but she was a wonderful addition to the family.

Think of the good times you guys shared. You gave her such a wonderful life.

People are fucking broken. Let me assure you kids that do this will probably be facing prison time in the future. Not just for the dogs, but because they will likely treat their wife and kids like this someday.

If they think hurting dogs is funny, then it might just take a few beers to get them to try people next.

I'm sorry anon, my dog died about 5 days ago and I feel your pain. I cried a little bit. But know this, it's not as tragic as losing a relative or friend, and you WILL get better.

By the way never come to 4chan with this type of thing, because people will just troll you.

Greetings from /o/, I came here after someone posted a tiny puppy, and remembered there is /an/

My last cat who died, did so on my mother's bed, slowly losing temperature, purring till he no longer breathed. I pet him past that, in case he was still alive and just unable to move anymore. Very sad day, had him from birth to death.

One of my cats has FIV now, and has withered away to half his weight. Both of them 14 yrs old, I don't expect him to last much longer. I'm not sure who will take it worse, me or my kids. They are both unnerved by the cremated chihuahua in a box on my dresser

the last cat i had that died on me was a cat i had since i was five, until i was about thirteen or so.
he was an orange tabby, and a couple months before he had contracted feline leukemia from a cat fight (which he kicked ass in, by the way. was a tough little fucker till the bitter end..)
my parents said they never put him to sleep because i was objecting to it, but i knew my mom was dead set against it for whatever reason. he was suffering and in pain, though it was dulled through the expensive medication and treatments my parents paid for..i came home one day and he was sprawled out infront of our heater, dead and stiff as a board.
my mother said she was sitting in a couch, near him as he neared death. she said she swore he was giving her an apologetic look, like he was trying to hold on for dear life or something. my mom said it was okay for him to die and then he did.
sounds pretty fruity i know, plus it was my mom saying it but it's still pretty sad.
fucked up thing was when my mom waited for me to come home for ME to stuff him in a box. she just literally sat there next to his dead body reading ann rice or some shit.

i don't know what i'd do if any of my two cats died.
i don't even want to know how each of them might react, they're sisters and they've never been away from each other. save for one time my one had to be stitched up after a cat fight, the other seemed like she was depressed about the cat not being home with her.
