Question by ? Primus ?: Anyone have any magic words to help me get over putting my cat to sleep today?
My heart is breaking. He was 14 and I’ve had him since I was 8 yrs old. He was actually born in my bed. 🙁 He just started having seizures Friday morning and his health declined dramatically in the last two days. I had to go have him put to sleep and I’m dealing with this all alone. I’ve always had my mom with me in the past, but now I live hours away from any family. I just need some kind words, I know it’s lame, but I just can’t keep crying all night.
This is my baby: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v682/primus567/pumpkin.jpg
His name is Pumpkin.
Thank you all for the kind words. I can’t choose a best answer. So many were helpful.

So let the voting begin 🙂
