Oh my goodness. SO SO SORRY. losing a pet can just tear you up. I have had almost every kind of animal as pets through my life. My brother calls them, "little tragedies in the making". Almost lost our cat to an unexplained reaction to vaccines last week, and he still isn't 100%, or even close to it.
Really tough news.
Your brother is pretty sharp. Yes, unfortunatly in every pet owner's life we have to pay for the good times, and the love we had, someday.
Sorry to hear about your cat. You are from MN right? In August I lost 2 outdoor cats to coyotes. Are they in your area? The fuckers are really starting to come through now that fall is approaching. I even set up a bunch of deer meat in my backyard with a crossbow one night in hopes of killing them.
I am sooo very sorry to hear about Lucky's fate! I am sure you made him happy and comfortable the last moments of his life, heck for his whole like, and for that he is grateful.
Thanks MP, I will. About to wrap it up. The music as always helps. Thanks buddy.
Mutt, thanks. Lets go back to 2000 and listen to rogue Stern again. Ahh but alas we can only go forward.
Cyberhustler, I take what you say seriously. I dont think I can own another cat and let it run so we'll see. Maybe I'll get a dog.
L-Pink, Thanks buddy.
And EVERYONE else thanks. OK gonna call my brother in Tampa.
Guess I will wrap it up.
It takes some time. I came home and poured out his water dish. I guess that is the first step. It will take time but this thread helped get me off on the right foot.
I am ok and could go longer but I think we all did a good thing today and you all can be proud of yourselves and of each other. The response was overwhelming.

Yes MN. I havent heard of any around here but it is poss. My absolute best wishes. They have to be pretty bad in that area if you lost two.
Thanks Deej, Good idea, I am about to crack one right now.
Ah ya know we do our best that is all we can do. As Tjeezers said, it is sort of our place to realize that someday we must put them to rest and then carry on. There is a day for mourning but we must carry on. We never forget. But we must also carry on.
So many cats/dogs never get a home so let's remember our pets were the "Lucky" ones.
It is tough but it is life. It was this way before us. It will be this way long after us. It is just nature and to everything there is a season.
It is something that is out of our hands. Let's celebrate that one lil cat in 50,000,000 strays had a good life, ate nothing but Fanci Feast. Let's remember, let's never forget but let's also carry on.
But man, you did what you could, you were there for him.
As cat deaths go, it's not the worst kind, he went as a warrior, a real cat, and cats like that kind of thing.
Well said. That was my point. He wanted to live his life that way. He killed and eventually he was killed. I hoped it wouldnt go that way but it is always a poss for an outdoor cat. Maybe not a good policy but he was a cat's cat and I am very proud of him.
