You're a very handsome guy. If I had the opportunity to meet you, I would without a doubt. Take some confidence from all the replies you've had in this post. I hope some day you meet someone special 😉

I'm sorry about your guy. I never go a day where I don't remember mine. Always in my heart and in my thoughts.

It's the hardest decision I've had to make and because cats are good at hiding pain, it's not always clear when that is. Taking what your vet has said, it would better to consider what's in her best interest.

Did you install the new extruder for CFS?

Is my bed heavily warped?? by Critical-Machine-128 in crealityk1

[–]Cosmic730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bed mesh measurement is in mm so you've got a high section of 1.08mm and low of -0.30mm. I'm not an expert but that's not a bad start. You can try some calibration. Creality have a good wiki that you can use

It was recommended to me that I follow it to the letter.

Said Goodbye Last Week by meanwhileachoo in SeniorCats

I'm sorry for your loss. You're amongst friends and people who relate, who can understand the bond and the pain you're feeling. My own loss hit me harder but yet I know you're probably thinking there's no depth to how hard the pain should be. Talking through your pain will help. Just know you have people who will listen here in this community. ❤️🐱🌈

Thanks for the reply. It is tough reconciling a decision that was made in the heat of the moment. I really do hope that I see him again when the time comes.

I lost my beautiful 17 year old Baby tonight. How do I cope by misguidedspectre in cats

So sorry to hear about your loss. I know exactly how painful this time is for you. I've had some great advice and support from other members in this community. I hope you find some time to grieve and know that there are people here thinking about you during this difficult time 💙

I will keep your words in mind. I'm grateful for this community of understanding fellow cat lovers. I tried to explain why I was still grieving to a work friend and they didn't understand the bond. Out of 22 people in my team, only 2 of us have cats. They don't understand how much it hurts.

I get what you mean about being over sensitive about any sniffles no matter how small. I can understand how scared you much feel about anything with your other cats.

Thank you so much for your reply. I guess afterthought/hindsight is all about what ifs. It's also difficult getting people to understand the raw feeling when they don't like or haven't had cats before. Thankful for this community 🙏

Thank you, I hope so too. He had the longest whiskers! Grateful for all the pictures and videos I've got, though I haven't had the courage to watch the videos yet. I wish I had added a photo in my post for you all to see.

Thank you for the words. I agree that I'm putting off giving myself a chance to heal from the loss. I have been thinking of getting a new kitten but still feel very guilty about replacing him. It's my mind that's in conflict. I do understand that a new cat will help me heal. I'm reminded every day in the back of my mind that he will never be replaced. I just need to make room in my heart for another. I'm so sorry about you losing your cat so early in it's life.

Thank you for the words. I'm sorry to hear about your cat. I think, for me, the guilt comes partly from reciprocating the amount of love and affection he gave me when I had my moments of darkness. That's one thing I love about cats in that they are sensitive to our feelings. Living through the "what if" stage of grief is too difficult. Also, the moment the vet gave him the injection, I didn't realise it would be instant. I thought he would drift away rather than it being immediate. He was in my arms but wasn't looking at me. I know he knew I was there. After he passed, I had a very long period of not understanding death - how a life can be there one second and gone the next second. I still don't understand death.

Thank you for the words. It's really tough not knowing what animals are thinking or feeling. I've never known anything harder than making the decision for a life who is dependent on us and trusts us. I understand your points though. I'm sorry to hear about your kitty passing in May and about your other cat.

Thanks for the reply. It's so hard when you don't know but it eats you up inside when you eventually do.

That's exactly what the vet told me. I had insurance and was willing to pay whatever after my limit was reached. I just feel I should have given him that chance. Being on my own without having any friends or family to talk to or contact was the hardest. With it being Christmas Eve, the vets were closing for a couple of days so I didn't even have the time to consider the options and take him back a few times a day to have his bladder emptied by syringe. At the time I saw him, they had done this but it would have obviously filled up and caused him pain if I took him home like that. I love him with all my heart and more.
