I have never answered one of these blogs before, but your story has really touched me. Well done for being so pragmatic and stepping up for Pixie. I have had many cats over the years & faced some heartbreaking decisions at the end of their lives. I truly believe just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. My advice is take as many photos as you can of her & of the both of them & feed her anything she wants. You will know when the right time is because her little face will tell you & you are tuned in to her body language. Well done for being such a special cat Mummy. Make the decision re after the end before you go to the Vets. I found myself agreeing to everything with one of my cats, paid a small fortune for a wooden box with a brass plaque, that just sits on the side. I hope you can be with her at the end in these uncertain times. I don’t believe in all the rubbish about rainbow bridge etc. Take the time now to enjoy her & after to mourn. I have at the moment a 5 cats, 18, 14, 13, 12 & 8, so I know it won’t be too long before I am in the same boat as you. Take comfort in the rowing 🙂

I am so sorry – I have had two british shorthairs and both died at 13. One with melanoma on the eye and one with
lymphoma. So sad – I know what you are going through but sadly pedigree cats seem to live shorter lives. Thinking about you and her sister who will miss her.

Dear Catherine,

Your news has moved me to tears! I love reading about and looking at your photos of your beautiful furry friends. I remember when you got your cats..

My last cat was 20 when he died last year, his brother died the year before, and I miss them so very much. You are such a devoted cat parent I know you will do the very best for her. Just enjoy every second.

Thank you for your lovely posts. Thank you for your wonderful contribution to QVC, they are very lucky to have you on their team.

Kind regards

Oh Catherine crying (again)as I read this although I know about it as I follow you on Instagram and have already messaged you. My heart breaks for you as I lost my darling Mimi, 13yr old Lhasa Apso 2wks ago with only 24hrs of illness. I would give anything to have had more time with her so hold dear to the time you have with your precious Pixiecat. She knows how much she is loved. Lots of love xxxxx

In reply to HelenW.

Sending you much love, Catherine. Be assured that Pixiecat is having the most wonderful life with you, and any decisions you make are totally in her best interests. The final act of love you can do for anybody – animal or human – is to put them before yourself when their time comes. Remember the good times, and give Popsiecat all the love and cuddles you can! Pixiecat will always be with you, in your heart. xx
