This is my cat Belle, this specific photo is about 3 years old. She is currently 17, but today had been diagnosed with very aggressive lung cancer. She will not make it to Christmas, and we have decided to put her down tomorrow to spare her the pain of what is to come.

I don’t know why I’m posting this. She’s spent the whole day with me in my bed since coming home from the vet. She hasn’t left once, not to drink, not to eat, not at all. Her breath is becoming more labored, and a part of me wonders if she’ll make it through the night. I suppose that doesn’t really matter anymore.

Thank you to whoever read this, it means a lot.

    She’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing her with us.

    It sounds like you’re doing the right thing to save her all of that pain. It’s so hard to let go of the ones we love. I hope you can celebrate her life and love her extra hard tonight.

    I’m so sorry.

    Poor girl, she is absolutely adorable in this picture. I hope she gets some good cuddles and pets tonight.

    I’m sorry, buddy. Be strong. One day the sorrow will go away and you will only remember the good moments with your friend. Hugs.

    I’m so sorry. Belle is beautiful. We can never have them for long enough can we? They come into our life and want nothing but to be a part of it and forever would be too short of a time to keep them. She’ll be waiting for you over the rainbow bridge.
