Well, Tinker our 22 year old cat died about an hour ago. i fought for him all his life, but I had to let him go so he would not suffer. I found him this morning have what looked like a seizure. The vet said we could try to revive him, but if it was her she wouldn’t because he was old and exhausted. Tinker will be cremated, and we will get the ashes, then, it will be placed in an urn. Our hearts are broken, but the really hard part has not happened yet. My daughter that lives in an assistant living place will be told by us in person when she gets off work My heart will break even more when I tell her the news. Tinker is no longer suffering, but we are suffering from his loss. Tinker was a member of the family. The death of a pet is like someone in the family that has died.
Thank you all for reading this. Maybe leave words of comfort that I can show my daughter.
Tell your daughter that Tinker had an amazing life always surrounded by love.
Thank you for the nice comment.
So Sad – My heart is broken today
Thank you BestFeeds for caring
Oh LaJenna. I am so sorry. I hope your daughter is fine. That is one of the hardest parts, telling loved ones. I know he lived a happy life with you. He wont need shots where he is. I hope there is a rainbow bridge.
Thank you Kim for the caring thoughts.
My deepest sympathy to you and your daughter and everyone who loved Tinker. I met a stranger today in a parking lot and she was crying and said her “baby” had died and I knew instinctively she had lost a dog. I said some things to console her and gave her a hug and went about my way. More with cats than with dogs I have heard many stories about how the cat’s presence is deeply felt on and off for many years after its passing. So I have to think they do not go completely away. You will love Tinker forever.
Thank you Ann Hartley for this nice message to help us during our time of need.
I’ve experienced this too, so I know how you feel … the feelings are really the same as the death of a family member

Thank you Rajeshmukul for your thoughts
I’m sorry about your loss.
At least he will be enjoying himself in a better place…
It’s way harder for him to be hanging on and suffering…
Thank you alibb for caring, and yes he is not suffering anymore.
So very sorry LaJenna. I can relate to your heartbreak. I did the same with my Momma Kitty who died in her 20’s. She was Dustin’s cat so I feel your pain. Take some deep breaths and know you did all you could do. She lived a long life and you are the reason for that.
Thank you Carol my friend for your kind words. Now to tell my daughter a a few hours. Your words of love have helped in some way.
I hope I have helped. These times are tough and you have to get through it in whatever way works for you. Remember the life you gave to Tinker. Without you she would not have had that. And now you have memories.
