Today, five years ago, I had to make one of the most painful decisions of my life. To give the vet the ok to put my orange 16 pound cat, Gordito.
Gordito was my baby. He was with me for 5 years, he was an outdoor/indoor cat. everybody on the block knew Gordito. He was so sweet and so friendly. I would get my keys out of my purse and he would come running to greet me with a meow and rubbing himself against my legs, then we would go inside and I would give him him favorite food ,Whiskas.
Sometimes I feel sooooo guilty for not staying with him on his last minutes, but the pain was soooooo deep in my heart too be able to watch him die. When I gave the vet the ok to send my Gordito to the Rainbow Bridge it was because my baby was very sick. I chose to go thru the pain of losing him, rather than see him in pain.
The wound is still in my heart, but I know he is happy at the rainbow bridge playing with Oscarito and he is not in pain anymore.
I love you Gordito, I love you a lot my big fat cat.
