I so hated to hear of kitty's diagnosis.  Just wanted to make sure you know your J12 friends are supporting you with lots of creepy internet hugs, thoughts and prayers.

Thanks guys. Yesterday was hard to make the decision and schedule for Thursday. Today I feel like I am probably doing the right thing. I am lucky to have the luxury to be able to be thoughtful about it and to have time to say goodbye as opposed to having it thrust upon me.  Her final diagnosis was "distended stomach and small tumors most likely cancerous" They had a 50/50 shot of giving her more medication to basically sedate her and make her comfortable for a couple more months. That just seems like prolonging the inevitable and I don't want to see ehr get worse.  I can be at peace with this.  Thanks for the thoughts.  I've never had to do this before.

I'm jealous you had time to think about, but also so glad you do.  You're such a good kitty mom and I'm sure she's thankful for the amazing life and love you've given her.  This is the single hardest decision I've ever had to make also and while I know it's painful, it's also very unselfish to put your cat's well-being ahead of your emotions.  Aaaaand now I'm crying.  Darn you, @bellaxanthe.  I said I wasn't going to cry.  Let me know if you need a buddy to talk about your kitty with!

I am so sorry you have to go through this. She is very lucky to have such a caring owner and will be free from all her pain. You have the right outlook, but it doesn't change how hard it is. I will be thinking about you both. Hugs!

Awh thanks guys. You truly are more supportive than my husband sometimes!  @Stokedwifey - I didn't mean to make you sad.  

Awww it was just sad for you.  I'm a softie.

Thinking of you Bella. It's so hard to say goodbye to our furry little loves. You are being a great cat mom to let her go and not let her suffer. Biggest hugs to you.

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this, but she's a lucky kitty to have you for family. When I lost my dog a few years ago this was something I watched over and over and it helped me to feel better. It is a tear jerker, but somehow helped me, and maybe it would for you too. Hugs!
