Me too when I typed that. She was my baby. Had her from her first day, abandoned. I bottle fed her.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Ours was also our baby even though I only met him when he was already 3 years old. It felt like I had to protect him and couldn't because he had cancer :-( we and he fought so hard and in the end we had to euthanize him, but it felt like we betrayed him. I would love to hear from your kitty if you want to tell something about her!

You didn't betray him, you did the opposite. You provided love, care and warmth until his last moment, and you saved him from terrible suffering. There is nothing even remotely treasonous about that. He would be proud of all the choices you made.

Rationaly I know but sometime it just hits hard. Thanks for being such a nice person!
