My lovely Minxy is gone and I miss her. Her brother has cried for her for days but now, but even he has had to accept that she will never answer. On reflection I suppose it might have happened in another way: Her love of the outside combined with avoidence/refusal to wear a harness, a dark stormy night, wet decks and rogue seas. With no life jackjet on (the jacket count would show that she was not wearing one) her survival time in cold water would not be long. It is likely that a jacket would merely delay the inevitable. In the dark she would not be easily seen -even from the air. But back to hard reality, her rapid loss of sight left me with but one hard decision -I could not bear to see her unable to play or move freely so I chose a warm quiet end for her -rather that than the cruel unseen wheels of a car or cold, smothering embrace of the sea.

Nav,
Sorry to hear of your lost pet. I'm a person who understands the bonding that take place between a human and an animal. It is something that can only be felt but never explained. Sorry friend Ole Thom |

What an asshole! Do they kill people who go blind.
A cat has other senses than their eyes. You should have allowed her to live in the house where she would know her whereabouts by sound and smell. Instead you killed her and deprived her of many years of happiness. Do you know that time spent dreaming is just as real to a cat as time awake in the real world with eyes open? Did you not realize that your cat would not be blind in her dreams? After all, a blind cat doesn't even realize she is blind. It's not like that at all for a cat. The only thing she would have known is it got really dark during her waking hours and the sun doesn't seem to come out anymore. She'd have coped. She'd have spent more time sleeping and dreaming. You'd only have had to change your life just a little to assist her in living safely. Instead you wimped out of your obligations and killed her. You're despicable. Who gave you the right to play God?

There you go shooting off your mouth. You have no idea what was
happening to her -apart from the fact that she was going blind. FYI this was a 5 month old kitten -and a major factor in both the disease process and it's outcome. For an older cat, blindness would not be a major problem. This decision was not taken lightly and was taken with expert vetenary advice. Believe me, we loved her lots.

Nobody let's me play God but God did give me a brain which with to think and eyes which to see and ears which with to hear and other senses. If a couple of my senses happen to become faulty or even if I lose one of them completely that does not make me so impaired that I would wish somebody to execute me to put me out of my misery. You, on the other hand profess to miss you cat, a cat you killed because her existence had become something that may have required a little more work on your part. I maintain that since you executed your cat you did not love her at all and you certainly do not miss her. What you really feel is guilt because you did the wrong thing. You took on the obligation of a pet and then when the pet did not turn out the way you expected you simply killed her to get rid of her and any inconvenience she may have caused. You are the typical cruel, careless, and asshole pet owner who seems to think pets only exist to live up to their owner's expectations. You and your ilk have no conscience and no business even calling yourself human. You're sick and that's a fact. You even post a psychotic post describing murder of an animal for no good reason other than your being inconvenienced and you expect sympathy. Well, you got sympathy but not from anybody who has a pet and loves a pet. The sympathy you got was from other people like yourself who think pets are for throwing away any time they don't live up to their warped expectations. You're an asshole plain and simple.

For me, the most humane option when one sees a loved one
suffering is to try and end the suffering of that person or other being. I can't speak to whether or not this particular blind (or otherwise afflicted) cat was suffering, but I can speak to not wanting a loved one to suffer and seeking to end that suffering, especially when that loved one can no longer do anything but beg to have an end to it.

Generally it would mean in this context that the critter was a goner anyway, eventually, so the choice was made for it. Go gentle into that good night now... or rage against the dying of the light later. Humane is an intent.... the reality is the outcome remains the same. If the cat had learned to talk... it could have decided whether it would rather die in a battle with an enraged pitbull or gently in it's sleep having it's tummy rubbed and ear scratched. Then again if it could talk it would have hired a team of lawyers... sued it's owner, demanded freedom for all cats and become a burden on society.

Good question. I'll answer that with another one... what about
the situation where, as you say, the person hasn't specifically expressed a wish to be euthanised, but is in obvious agony and can not speak, and of course, there is no reasonable outlook for recovery or improvement? Moreover, what if that "person" is an animal that can't express its thoughts, but is just as obviously in pain most or all of the time? I am not an advocate of euthanasia per se. I am an advocate of treating people with respect, especially if they voice their wishes. "Wally" wrote in message ...
