I don't know why UA-cam suggested this to me now, but it was a very nice video tribute. My cat was born in 2001 and died in 2019, also at the age of 18, after becoming increasingly weaker over months. He stopped eating and drinking and retreated to the darkest corner of the house. He didn't want to live. My sister held him in her arms just like the woman in the video and I stood next to him as a grown man and cried when he passed at the vet. He has accompanied me my whole life, experienced the death of my mother, my grandmother, my aunt and other people as well as several moves, he was always there for me, even comforted me when I had a toothache. And even if I wasn't always fair to him, I was always there for him. The love that we give to other animals, they give back to us. We are all animals, we are all part of a cycle that ends at some point.
I am so sorry for your loss😞. I had a cat named Aggie. I got her in July of 1993 when she was 8 weeks old. She lived to be 16 years old. She had a couple places on her sides that were busted open and bleeding. I took Aggie to the vet and the Veterinarian told me she was ate up with fleas. The Veterinarian was going to treat her for fleas but I decided it was best to have Aggie put to sleep 💔. She had a good life with me. I miss my Aggie 💔 but she's in a better place. RIP to Bonnie 🌹🌷💐❤🙏✌
@@sallyfreeman9971 Adopted Minouche my cat at also Just 8 week old , he's 3;5 yo today ,sleeping in HER chair at my right ^^ wish for him the best the sweetest and longer life in the world !
She's such a sweetheart! 😢 I can feel your loss, ... ❤️ as we lost our brown tabby cat on 4 of October this year. The veterinarian came at home to put her for eternal sleep. She was almost 18 years old, and she's been family all her life. My husband and I are still crying every day. It seems we can not get over the grief... She was our baby, ... I believe one day we will meet again!
Heartfelt condolences on your loss. 😔😢💔 Young or old, saying goodbye to our precious animal family members is heartbreaking. Each one leaves their 🐾🐾 on our hearts on their way to the 🌈🌉 May the many treasured memories of your time together bring comfort and healing to your hearts. 🤗Hugs and purrs from our hearts to yours.
My heart grieves along with yours. May God bring comfort. My girl, Sox, was 17 when we had to put her to sleep. She had cancer. That was in 2002, and I will miss her for the rest of my life. Best cat ever 😥❤️🙏🐱 Yes, we will be together with our babies again. The sting of loss will ease, but take all the time you need to grieve. My girl is missed still.
So sorry for your loss. We just had to do the same last month for our beautiful 14 year old Golden Retriever Sophie. Two years previously, for our 12 year old Golden Duke. My 19 year old cat Echo decided to do it herself at home. She was perfectly fine that morning... asking for loving, eating, and just being herself. I left the house for 2 hours and came home to find her sleeping peacefully in an odd spot she would never usually sleep - under the kitchen table, which was the last place I saw her that morning. It was sad but really much easier on her people, I just hope it was fast for her because she was alone.
I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss . Bonnie was a beautiful young lady who loved you and you loved her . She knew it and is resting in Heaven now until you meet again. Rest in Peace, Beautiful Bonnie. Fly high.
Omg I could not stop crying watching this and to be there right at the end with her when she took her last breath is the final act of love you could have given no matter how much it hurt you or the pain you felt after for weeks , I lost a pet I had for 10 years he took his last breath in my sons arms and I cried everyday for months I thought I would never get over it but I was so glad he died at home and I did not have to have him out to sleep . And you finding that little duck statue with the name Bonnie was just incredible what are the odds of that so she is still with you ❤️
Beautiful girl got lots of love from you and gave it back. Their love is lasting and real. Losing one will change our lives forever, whether they passed or can't find their way back home, the pain is the same❤
That's amazing with that duck... I had to cry. My cat got lost and he returned after 5 days, just a few days ago, we are both still recovering from the drama.. Realising how horrible it will be one day when he really has to leave me forever. My condolences to you guys. What a beautiful long life your cat had
This was too sad to sit through the entirety 😢 These little creatures are our families, and it is always difficult to make the decision to let them go.
It is hard to let them go even if they pass on naturally in their sleep and after 5yrs I still miss my precious childhood pet cat mittens and my other one Dudley as well even though Dudley didn't go naturally.
Yeah my baby died the day after Christmas!😿I had known for almost a year that she was dying from cancer .the good thing was I didn't have to put her down .she died on her own, unfortunately she died in my arms the night after Christmas two hours after I came home from work and I told her it was all right to go to Kitty heaven.😭
Poor baby I lost my cat in 2022 and I was very emotional when she died in front of me in my room We called my mom and dad and my sister and we went to bury her in my backyard.
I'm so sorry for your loss such a beautiful baby. I couldn't imagine a world without our fur babies. Bonie will always be with you no matter what even if she isn't physically there she is there. I hope life gets better for you both my prayers go out to you both. I'm not sure if you would want another fur baby in your lifes but I know that you would love them the same if not the same as you had bonie.
@@alesimorales2766 I know it's a hard thing for any person to do but animals get old to I've heard this way makes to were their not in pain when they pass even though we are the ones in pain. She is in a better place now where she can feel young again and run wild.
@@alesimorales2766 todo está bien, solo te estaba asegurando que se que es algo di fícil de hacer para cualquier persona. Pero los animales evejecen porque he oído que de esta manera llegan a donde no sienten dolor cuando pasan aunque nosotros somos los que sufrimos. Ahora está en un lugar mejor donde puede volver a sentirse joven y volversa loca.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm on kitty number three, and I can honestly say that I'll never not have a cat in my life. They're the best pets, and when we have to say goodbye to them, is the worst pain. God bless you and your family. 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss. I had a cat that I lost to kidney failure, and it devastated me. I adopted a cat who has FIV and I love him more than life itself. He makes me laugh and happy and I wake up every morning to my best friend. He has me wrapped around his paws and I would not have it any other way. God Bless You Both because it does my heart good that people love their animals as much as I love him.
I have had to say goodbye to several beloved cats in the last several years. I am alone now with my cat of 16 of years. He is still super healthy and still runs around at times like a kitten. Being alone with health issues myself, he is what keeps me going each day. I know I may not have much longer with him. I dread the day where I will have to say goodbye. I burst into tears watching you say goodbye to Bonnie, reminding me of my previous losses, and another yet to come. Thank you for sharing this painful moment, and the story of Bonnie's time with you.
I could not watch most of this; I live alone, having my third cat in 28 years. The previous two each broke my heart when I had to let them go, and I know how difficult it is. I had someone take me to the vet; I didn't feel I could safely drive being so upset. Thank you so much for the love you gave to Bonnie-she was beautiful, and like many kitties, an angel with fur and whiskers.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Been there and have done that. I take care of alot of kitties. It's never easy to let one go. God bless you & god speed sweet bonnie.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your fur baby😢 she knew and felt the love that you guys had for her and she will be waiting for you on the other side. I truly believe this and I hope it gives you a little solace. Our bodies are just a vessel for our spirit and our spirit never dies it just transfers to a different form
That's so sad. After 18 years, we had to put down our family cat, Friskey. We really loved her. She was a great cat!.. That was 43 years ago and I still think about her and still miss her. I guess, I always will.
What a lovely tribute to your cat. ❤️ I hope my cat lives at least that long too. I believe we meet our beloved pets again. I actually had a visit from my previous cat that jumped onto my bed and walked down my side and laid down next to me. First I thought it was my present cat but she was sitting in the window and followed the whole thing with her eyes. 🌸❤️
Watching your video made me cry. My wife and I had to face the same thing. Our Lilou was 14 years. The vet came to our house and it was done in a room she especially loved. We held her the whole time. It was, as if at fall a leaf is slowly flying down from a tree. Very soft. We also cried for a long time. Nevertheless our Lilou was with us still some weeks. My wife felt her presence and once I noticed her very quickly turning around our ash can as if she had light speed.
My heart has been rebroken along the very scars I have acquired over the past decades of this exact same anguish and distressing event with saying goodbye to our furry family members. May God ease your heartache. You know you did the correct thing for her. You appear to be wonderfully sensitive people. You recognize that animals also can feel not only 🙏🙏physical trauma, but emotional pain as well. I truly do empathize with you, and my pray for your and yours, including Bonnie.
My condolences on the loss of your sweet Bonnie. I’m so glad she had you both. I cried hard for her and for you two at the end, I know that process too. I also have a little duck by the same company - not the same name as my cat, but bought on the last trip before I came home to find my cat terminally ill. The little duck makes me think of my long-gone baby every time I pass it on the shelf. I think your duck was more than serendipity….
My friends cat lived until she was 21 years. She had become her carer after her Mum passed away so she felt that Honey was a part of her mum. She was devastated when Honey passed. Our Gracie is 16 years and full of beans but we have to accept that one day she will pass too. Loving and caring for our animal friends is for me a privillage. Thank You for sharing your memories of your beautiful Bonnie.
My cat was put down on the 31st of December just before this new year 2024 started. He was the same breed as boni. We had him for 13 years. He was 16 as we got him when he was 3. This video reminded me of my baby kiddy. I'm currently mourning but seeing this video and how strong you guys are and the way it's made it's honestly helped me so much. I love you. Thank you for this video. ❤️
I know how you feel my name is Bonnie and I run an animal rescue out here in ashland Montana I run an animal rescue in my heart goes out to my babies no matter what breed they are when I lose all my heart cents so as she raises in peace may she be play with her little brother Clyde up there in heaven
I bawled when I had to say good bye to each of my cats and dogs, and I bawled as you were saying good bye to your little mountain lion. I also still miss my fur kids, and bonnie must have sent you the wooden duck to let you know it's all OK.
Oh my goodness! How very sad. May God comfort you. I too had to do the same thing with my late girl, Sox, in 2002. She had cancer of the jaw. I was with her to the very end. She was 17, the best cat ever, was almost never apart from us all those years. I will love and miss her for the rest of my life 😥❤️🙏🐱
What an absolutely beautiful presentation that was about Bonnue the cat. I t was heartbreaking yet compelling at the same time. I have had to put two cats down due to medical conditions. I love cats.....more than humans..
Thank you for loving her. Beautiful story tho I cried my eyes out. I've had many dogs as family and currently I have 5 cats which I love so this touched me. It's just life I pray to our Lord we can reunite with our beloved fur babies when his kingdom comes.
I’m Sorry for your loss… you gave Bonnie everything you could as it gave you back so many good moments you’ll carry deep inside… I have a 23 years old white cat and she’s pretty strong yet.. But it could be any day now that she decides it’s time to move on… hopefully when that times comes she’ll go in peace..
Oh, my beloved Sox was all white too, pink ears and nose and toe beans. We had to put her to sleep at 17, cancer. That was in 2002. I will miss her for the rest of my life.
The last things she ever knew were the touch of a familiar hand and the sound of a loved voice. You gave her a gentle and peaceful way out of her pain and she would thank you for that. I am always a complete sobbing mess when the time comes to face up to my responsibility to a much-loved pet ... but it's the price we pay isn't it? And we love them enough to do the right thing no matter what the cost to us in terms of grief and loss.
My heart goes out to you I've had to do it twice so far and I know it SUCKS I miss my other 2 babies in on #3 now and will get another one after him God bless you hope you feel better soon sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for the loss of your Bonnie, they bring us so much joy when they are with us, it’s been a year and six days since I had to make the difficult decision to let my beloved cat Marley go and I don’t think a day has passed since then that I haven’t thought of him. Please accept my condolences to you and your family.
This , friends is one of those stories that's neither a👍or👎. Sooo sorry for your loss-I had to put my Minkii down Dec. 2009, then my 4legged grandbaby Pheobe Feb. 2021. She was almost 22 yrs. old. Some days are good, others soso !!!
Thank you for sharing your story the way you did. I have lost two kitties and two dogs over the last 5 years. I have 21 years of military service and many more years in the fire service after retirement. Nothing made me cry more than when I had to say goodbye to my fur babies. It still hurts but I came to realize it is a part of having a pet. I pray that God will bless you and give you comfort as time goes on. It never goes away but in time, you will find comfort in the decision you had to make.
I'm so sorry. I've gone through this too. 😪And I will again. And again. "We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan." --Irving Townsend, from The Once Again Prince
Eighteen wonderful years with sweet Bonnie. AND you were there right to the end. That, to me, is one of the best gifts you can give your cat - holding them at the end. Sorry for your loss. One small cat leaves such a huge hole in your heart, and life 💖
I had to let my best friend go a little over a year ago. He was a little black kitten when i brought him home. I didn't go anywhere without him for the next 14 years. Eventually he was diagnosed with diabetes. About 6 months after that his lungs filled with fluid and there wasn't much that could be done without collapsing his lungs. Ill never forget him and I hope he is waiting for me. This is a beautiful video and the memories flood back making me cry all over again. Thank you for sharing.
what was the sign? I watched but couldn't finish - we lost one too recently. I know that our cats, and dogs, give us signs they're OK. And many times send another cat/dog that needs a loving home. Not to replace them, but because they know how much love we still can give. But, dang, it hurts.
just to talk: I was cruel with a few animals (pets). I saw a movie about bullfighters, that changed my mind. I adopted and rescued some cats and pets, and I saw a miracle (real miracle) I saw it with my own eyes in real time how the Tabata's paw (Tabata kitty) was amazingly healed, repaired, restored after injury. I swear, I won't get anything just to lie with this, . . and so, my mind changed again. Time after I adopted Goya, a siamese/balinese mix kitty. She died in accident, no gore no bad, just injuried she being little couldn't resit. , it was the most sad day in my life full of pain and sorrow, my life change _again_ . - Time after I rescued cat named Zed, after a few months with me , he learned to be friendly and he started trust in humans, he died being sick by years of homless living, it was a "bel ringing" in my life again, and I changed, my mind and my belief / knowledge now is different in my life: after a few pets we've "lost" , here now we have 3 dogs, 9 cats. Frida maybe is the older kitty. the pets aren't a treasure, maybe the treasure and prize is the chance to make them happy.
This made cry bless her you gave her the very best I had to let my 20 year old cat go xx her was shadow by name an nature she special needs and she couldn’t meow so she was an inside cat but loved to go out with me in the garden and that’s where I buried her God bless her I know how you feel because I’m sat here crying
Bonnie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. So sorry for your loss. I've been through it twice, in 2008 and again in November: 10 more days and it would have been 14 years and 6 months since the first time. 2 beautiful young females. I have since adopted a 5-month-old and she is SO charismatic. Your Bonnie loves you and wants you to open your heart up to another tabby. Please consider it,or foster care, which I know little about. Great Video.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Hi, in October of 2021, my sweet old cat Willow was not herself back and forth to the vet and there really was nothing they could do she was 24 years old. On the morning of November 1st I woke up to heavy strange breathing from Willow in her cat bed on my bed. It was not long after that she took her last breath my sweet little tiger girl had cross rainbow bridge, I miss her but what a long life…she will be forever in my heart…thanks for sharing
Hi sorry for your lost thank you both for giving bonnie a good loving home as she was also grateful as well she went sad but she also went happy still feeling your love for her for she knows you all will meet again may blessings and peace be with her and all ✌️🙏✌️🙏
She was and is beautiful, and clearly very happy , you guys gave her the best life and in return you got all of hers , she will never leave your heart and her soul is off across the rainbow bridge 🌁🤍🐈
Beautiful dedication to the "love she gave us" and also to pets of the world. I watch and cry and cry...And miss my cat Jacov like yours Bonnie in similar situations ....
I had 2 put my kitty Tigger softly 2 sleep bcuz the vet misdiagnosed him several times...he had squamous cell carcinoma which is a very aggressive form of oral cancer n cats...I was holding him n my arms on June 23rd 2023
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my fur baby this last March. She had just tired fifteen and then was diagnosed with cancer. So I had to let her go. I still miss to this day.
So sorry for the loss of your baby... 18 years is a very long time. I have had cats in my life, four of which have passed. my fifth and final is probably the most near to perfect kitty I have ever known. Doesn't bite, doesn't scratch furniture, is super lovey, and very playful. If all cats were like him, there would be no homeless cats.
My TabbyBoy just died. He was 15 years 1 month and a half. I did not see it coming. I just had his funeral on Wednesday. So i understand. R.I.P. dear cat.....
Just lost my 17 year old M.coon Daisy. So heartbreaking. My other pets are sad too. The last few weeks of her life were very hard for her and me. Sorry for your loss 🐱💜⚘
Hi Guys I’ve been there & as they say done that . With my loving ginger boy Gringo . And Taz our loving ginger girl . & also young ginger Elmer like your boy died of a similar illness. We now have Lance Norwegian forest boy & Lacey black & white tuxedos they are just as loving as faithful dogs. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦👍🇺🇸🐈🕊 Thanks for sharing.
That was beautiful! I lost my Russian Blue cat (Mia) of 15 years last month and I still cry every night because she slept with me every night, except a few nights when she wasn't feeling well. I miss her strong purr, her patting my face in the middle of the night when she wanted under the covers. She saw me through several major health issues including a triple bypass heart surgery which turned out to be very complicated. When I got home from the hospital she kept her distance and let me settle in and get comfy. My sister offered to take time off work to care for me for a few weeks which was hugely helpful. At bedtime that first night Mia jumped on my bed and had to lay on my chest and then she had to see my scar, there were no ifs, and or buts about it. So I undid my shirt for her to look and sniff and then when she was content everything was ok she went and laid down between my legs which was her spot. Each night for about 2 weeks she did the same routine while my sister stood close in case she started to scratch me, which she never did. It was just amazing she knew where my problem was. So, a year and a half later I had to put her to sleep because of tongue cancer which had spread. I always felt we knew each other from a past life. I am heartbroken. Sorry for your loss of another very special cat! 💔✌️
For two of my kittens I was there at the end. One passed during surgery and our beautiful kitten had 2 seizures and died in my arms on the way to my vet. I'm so sorry for your loss. It is NEVER an easy decision even when you know it's the right and humane thing to do
You are so brave to have done what was right for Bonnie to end her suffering. We had to do the same when a tumor was pressing against the eye of our cat Charlie. So hard to say goodbye as they became a part of you.
I feel your pain. I have many times had to put my cats to sleep. It's never easy, but I can say there are many more to be adopted. She thanks you for all you have given, and most importantly for showing love to her. I'm so sorry..
She was loved and will live forever in your hearts..Death is the ultimate truth...No one will make it alive ..So just remember and cherish the time you spent with both of your cats💗💗💕💕
My 17 year old cat has become ill recently and for the first time I am facing the possibility of losing her. I am convinced that we will see our pets on the other side. They are beautiful souls that give us the kind of unconditional love that we never get from elsewhere. All creatures great and small, the Lord God made them all.
Hi, everyone! Thanks for watching my tribute to Bonnie. When I made this video, we had

Well said. 🫶🏻
I know that Bonnie would be very happy, if a cute little kitten found their way into your home soon! You certainly gave Bonnie and Clyde a good home.
That's amazing with that duck... I had to cry. My cat got lost and he returned after 5 days, just a few days ago, we are both still recovering from the drama.. Realising how horrible it will be one day when he really has to leave me forever. My condolences to you guys. What a beautiful long life your cat had
Thank you for the kind words. So glad you were reunited! We lost a dog (you can see the video on our channel) and know what it’s like.
This was too sad to sit through the entirety 😢 These little creatures are our families, and it is always difficult to make the decision to let them go.
It is hard to let them go even if they pass on naturally in their sleep and after 5yrs I still miss my precious childhood pet cat mittens and my other one Dudley as well even though Dudley didn't go naturally.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm on kitty number three, and I can honestly say that I'll never not have a cat in my life. They're the best pets, and when we have to say goodbye to them, is the worst pain. God bless you and your family. 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss. I had a cat that I lost to kidney failure, and it devastated me. I adopted a cat who has FIV and I love him more than life itself. He makes me laugh and happy and I wake up every morning to my best friend. He has me wrapped around his paws and I would not have it any other way. God Bless You Both because it does my heart good that people love their animals as much as I love him.
Thank you for sharing and the kind words!
@@TheMotomuras you are most welcome. I will keep you both in my prayers.
I have had to say goodbye to several beloved cats in the last several years. I am alone now with my cat of 16 of years. He is still super healthy and still runs around at times like a kitten. Being alone with health issues myself, he is what keeps me going each day. I know I may not have much longer with him. I dread the day where I will have to say goodbye. I burst into tears watching you say goodbye to Bonnie, reminding me of my previous losses, and another yet to come. Thank you for sharing this painful moment, and the story of Bonnie's time with you.
I could not watch most of this; I live alone, having my third cat in 28 years. The previous two each broke my heart when I had to let them go, and I know how difficult it is. I had someone take me to the vet; I didn't feel I could safely drive being so upset. Thank you so much for the love you gave to Bonnie-she was beautiful, and like many kitties, an angel with fur and whiskers.
😭R.I.P Bonnie now you have crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge 🌉 ✨️ ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. Been there and have done that. I take care of alot of kitties. It's never easy to let one go. God bless you & god speed sweet bonnie.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your fur baby😢 she knew and felt the love that you guys had for her and she will be waiting for you on the other side. I truly believe this and I hope it gives you a little solace. Our bodies are just a vessel for our spirit and our spirit never dies it just transfers to a different form
That's so sad. After 18 years, we had to put down our family cat, Friskey. We really loved her. She was a great cat!.. That was 43 years ago and I still think about her and still miss her. I guess, I always will.
Aww. How sweet…and sad. Those were 18 wonderful years, for sure.
What a lovely tribute to your cat. ❤️ I hope my cat lives at least that long too. I believe we meet our beloved pets again. I actually had a visit from my previous cat that jumped onto my bed and walked down my side and laid down next to me. First I thought it was my present cat but she was sitting in the window and followed the whole thing with her eyes. 🌸❤️
Watching your video made me cry. My wife and I had to face the same thing. Our Lilou was 14 years. The vet came to our house and it was done in a room she especially loved. We held her the whole time. It was, as if at fall a leaf is slowly flying down from a tree. Very soft. We also cried for a long time. Nevertheless our Lilou was with us still some weeks. My wife felt her presence and once I noticed her very quickly turning around our ash can as if she had light speed.
My heart has been rebroken along the very scars I have acquired over the past decades of this exact same anguish and distressing event with saying goodbye to our furry family members. May God ease your heartache. You know you did the correct thing for her. You appear to be wonderfully sensitive people. You recognize that animals also can feel not only 🙏🙏physical trauma, but emotional pain as well. I truly do empathize with you, and my pray for your and yours, including Bonnie.
My condolences on the loss of your sweet Bonnie. I’m so glad she had you both. I cried hard for her and for you two at the end, I know that process too. I also have a little duck by the same company - not the same name as my cat, but bought on the last trip before I came home to find my cat terminally ill. The little duck makes me think of my long-gone baby every time I pass it on the shelf. I think your duck was more than serendipity….
My friends cat lived until she was 21 years. She had become her carer after her Mum passed away so she felt that Honey was a part of her mum. She was devastated when Honey passed. Our Gracie is 16 years and full of beans but we have to accept that one day she will pass too. Loving and caring for our animal friends is for me a privillage. Thank You for sharing your memories of your beautiful Bonnie.
That wooden duck figure named Bonnie was definitely her telling you that she is OK.
My cat was put down on the 31st of December just before this new year 2024 started. He was the same breed as boni. We had him for 13 years. He was 16 as we got him when he was 3. This video reminded me of my baby kiddy. I'm currently mourning but seeing this video and how strong you guys are and the way it's made it's honestly helped me so much. I love you. Thank you for this video. ❤️
I am so very sorry for your loss, she was very lovely cat.
I know how you feel my name is Bonnie and I run an animal rescue out here in ashland Montana I run an animal rescue in my heart goes out to my babies no matter what breed they are when I lose all my heart cents so as she raises in peace may she be play with her little brother Clyde up there in heaven
I bawled when I had to say good bye to each of my cats and dogs, and I bawled as you were saying good bye to your little mountain lion. I also still miss my fur kids, and bonnie must have sent you the wooden duck to let you know it's all OK.
RIP forever remembered Bonnie Cat .. Rainbow Bridge 🌈
Oh my goodness! How very sad. May God comfort you. I too had to do the same thing with my late girl, Sox, in 2002. She had cancer of the jaw. I was with her to the very end. She was 17, the best cat ever, was almost never apart from us all those years. I will love and miss her for the rest of my life 😥❤️🙏🐱
I wish I had heeded the warning at start of video, I couldn't stop crying. Sorry for your loss she was beautiful. xx
What an absolutely beautiful presentation that was about Bonnue the cat. I t was heartbreaking yet compelling at the same time. I have had to put two cats down due to medical conditions. I love cats.....more than humans..
Thanks for giving her 20 years of love.
Bonnie lived a wonderful life. The final act of love is helping them cross over the rainbow bridge.
The most emotional painful decision to do.
I'm in tears, seriously 😢😢
Thank you for loving her. Beautiful story tho I cried my eyes out. I've had many dogs as family and currently I have 5 cats which I love so this touched me. It's just life I pray to our Lord we can reunite with our beloved fur babies when his kingdom comes.
I've said goodbye to too many fur kids. Breaks my heart every time. But you love them for as long as you can. 💔
This is the absolute worst day of a pet parent’s life. My heart to you both. Some just leave bigger paw prints on our hearts than others.
Im chopping onions 😢 wow what a big cry. Its like i lost one of my cats
😭 Losing fur babies sucks.
Bonnie is in heaven telling all of her kitty friends about you! She loved you so much! 💚💛💖💌
I’m Sorry for your loss… you gave Bonnie everything you could as it gave you back so many good moments you’ll carry deep inside…
I have a 23 years old white cat and she’s pretty strong yet..
But it could be any day now that she decides it’s time to move on… hopefully when that times comes she’ll go in peace..
Oh, my beloved Sox was all white too, pink ears and nose and toe beans. We had to put her to sleep at 17, cancer. That was in 2002. I will miss her for the rest of my life.
So sorry for your loss!
The last things she ever knew were the touch of a familiar hand and the sound of a loved voice. You gave her a gentle and peaceful way out of her pain and she would thank you for that. I am always a complete sobbing mess when the time comes to face up to my responsibility to a much-loved pet ... but it's the price we pay isn't it? And we love them enough to do the right thing no matter what the cost to us in terms of grief and loss.
My condolences for your loss.
Every creature is on its own journey and we only walk together for a short time.
You will meet again in a better place..
My heart goes out to you I've had to do it twice so far and I know it SUCKS I miss my other 2 babies in on #3 now and will get another one after him God bless you hope you feel better soon sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for the loss of your Bonnie, they bring us so much joy when they are with us, it’s been a year and six days since I had to make the difficult decision to let my beloved cat Marley go and I don’t think a day has passed since then that I haven’t thought of him. Please accept my condolences to you and your family.
Thank you for the kind words.
Cats are so beautiful and show true affection, you did a fantastic job. I'm heartbroken just watching 😢😢
This , friends is one of those stories that's neither a👍or👎. Sooo sorry for your loss-I had to put my Minkii down Dec. 2009, then my 4legged grandbaby Pheobe Feb. 2021. She was almost 22 yrs. old. Some days are good, others soso !!!
Sorry for your loss. 🥲
18 years full of love, goodbye Bonnie R.I.P-
That was sad and beautiful at the same time you know what to and it is sad
Thank you for sharing your story the way you did. I have lost two kitties and two dogs over the last 5 years. I have 21 years of military service and many more years in the fire service after retirement. Nothing made me cry more than when I had to say goodbye to my fur babies. It still hurts but I came to realize it is a part of having a pet. I pray that God will bless you and give you comfort as time goes on. It never goes away but in time, you will find comfort in the decision you had to make.
It brought tears 😭 to my eyes! I’m a cat 🐈 lover! It is hard to make such a decision like that.
Yes. I agree. It is.
I am glad you found a lot of joy in your cats.
I'm so sorry. I've gone through this too. 😪And I will again. And again. "We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan."
--Irving Townsend, from The Once Again Prince
Eighteen wonderful years with sweet Bonnie. AND you were there right to the end.
That, to me, is one of the best gifts you can give your cat - holding them at the end.
Sorry for your loss. One small cat leaves such a huge hole in your heart, and life 💖
I had to let my best friend go a little over a year ago. He was a little black kitten when i brought him home. I didn't go anywhere without him for the next 14 years. Eventually he was diagnosed with diabetes. About 6 months after that his lungs filled with fluid and there wasn't much that could be done without collapsing his lungs. Ill never forget him and I hope he is waiting for me. This is a beautiful video and the memories flood back making me cry all over again. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words. And sorry for your loss. 🥲
So touching, you were with her till the end and she gave you a sign...
what was the sign? I watched but couldn't finish - we lost one too recently.
I know that our cats, and dogs, give us signs they're OK. And many times send another cat/dog that needs a loving home.
Not to replace them, but because they know how much love we still can give. But, dang, it hurts.
Hurts so much. But I can't imagine not loving a pet like a family member.
just to talk:
I was cruel with a few animals (pets). I saw a movie about bullfighters, that changed my mind.
I adopted and rescued some cats and pets, and I saw a miracle (real miracle) I saw it with my own eyes in real time how the Tabata's paw (Tabata kitty) was amazingly healed, repaired, restored after injury.
I swear, I won't get anything just to lie with this, . . and so, my mind changed again.
Time after I adopted Goya, a siamese/balinese mix kitty. She died in accident, no gore no bad, just injuried she being little couldn't resit. , it was the most sad day in my life full of pain and sorrow, my life change _again_ . - Time after I rescued cat named Zed, after a few months with me , he learned to be friendly and he started trust in humans, he died being sick by years of homless living, it was a "bel ringing" in my life again, and I changed, my mind and my belief / knowledge now is different in my life: after a few pets we've "lost" , here now we have 3 dogs, 9 cats. Frida maybe is the older kitty. the pets aren't a treasure, maybe the treasure and prize is the chance to make them happy.
This made cry bless her you gave her the very best I had to let my 20 year old cat go xx her was shadow by name an nature she special needs and she couldn’t meow so she was an inside cat but loved to go out with me in the garden and that’s where I buried her God bless her I know how you feel because I’m sat here crying
Wow you've given and received love for 18 years. Amazing experience and a painful decision. Take care
Wow, I love cats, your cat lived that long at 18 for cat years, that shows you loved and took care of her!
Bonnie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. So sorry for your loss. I've been through it twice, in 2008 and again in November: 10 more days and it would have been 14 years and 6 months since the first time. 2 beautiful young females. I have since adopted a 5-month-old and she is SO charismatic. Your Bonnie loves you and wants you to open your heart up to another tabby. Please consider it,or foster care, which I know little about. Great Video.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
How peace ✌️ fully she gone .U r amazing guys.
Wow. These fur babies are so lovable.*
Hi, in October of 2021, my sweet old cat Willow was not herself back and forth to the vet and there really was nothing they could do she was 24 years old. On the morning of November 1st I woke up to heavy strange breathing from Willow in her cat bed on my bed. It was not long after that she took her last breath my sweet little tiger girl had cross rainbow bridge, I miss her but what a long life…she will be forever in my heart…thanks for sharing
Sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing.
Hi sorry for your lost thank you both for giving bonnie a good loving home as she was also grateful as well she went sad but she also went happy still feeling your love for her for she knows you all will meet again may blessings and peace be with her and all ✌️🙏✌️🙏
Go gently darling Bonnie. I am sure she knew how much she was loved. Bless you darling girl!
She was and is beautiful, and clearly very happy , you guys gave her the best life and in return you got all of hers , she will never leave your heart and her soul is off across the rainbow bridge 🌁🤍🐈
Beautiful dedication to the "love she gave us" and also to pets of the world. I watch and cry and cry...And miss my cat Jacov like yours Bonnie in similar situations ....
Oooh Bonnie you are a special girl and loved so so much.
Thank you so much!
You are a wonderful couple and you gave your hearts and souls to this beautiful adorable cat 🐈 and you had all of her love 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾✨💫
Thank you so much!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Please know that your cat is now at peace and is over the rainbow bridge.
Poor baby. 💔🐈⬛

I had 2 put my kitty Tigger softly 2 sleep bcuz the vet misdiagnosed him several times...he had squamous cell carcinoma which is a very aggressive form of oral cancer n cats...I was holding him n my arms on June 23rd 2023
Sorry for your loss. 😢
Ruby Jean passed away at home on March 8, 2022. She would have turned 20 on April 16. She was the best kitty ever. A real little princess.
RIP, Baby Bonnie ❤ your pets are our children. I have lost many pets , they live in your hearts forever ♥
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my fur baby this last March. She had just tired fifteen and then was diagnosed with cancer. So I had to let her go. I still miss to this day.
Sorry for your loss. 🥲
So sorry for the loss of your baby... 18 years is a very long time.
I have had cats in my life, four of which have passed. my fifth and final is probably the most near to perfect kitty I have ever known. Doesn't bite, doesn't scratch furniture, is super lovey, and very playful. If all cats were like him, there would be no homeless cats.
Thank you for the kind words.
😢💔😢💔😢 I cried watching this 😭 May the Lord bring you peace 🙏
Beautifully done
My TabbyBoy just died. He was 15 years 1 month and a half. I did not see it coming. I just had his funeral on Wednesday. So i understand. R.I.P. dear cat.....
Sorry for your loss.
Just lost my 17 year old M.coon Daisy. So heartbreaking. My other pets are sad too. The last few weeks of her life were very hard for her and me. Sorry for your loss 🐱💜⚘
Sorry for your loss. 🥲
Hi Guys I’ve been there & as they say done that . With my loving ginger boy Gringo . And Taz our loving ginger girl . & also young ginger Elmer like your boy died of a similar illness. We now have Lance Norwegian forest boy & Lacey black & white tuxedos they are just as loving as faithful dogs. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦👍🇺🇸🐈🕊 Thanks for sharing.
Please don’t wait too long to fill the gaping hole in your hearts. 😢😢
Omg..... My cat does the same thing....
Painful urination?
That was beautiful! I lost my Russian Blue cat (Mia) of 15 years last month and I still cry every night because she slept with me every night, except a few nights when she wasn't feeling well. I miss her strong purr, her patting my face in the middle of the night when she wanted under the covers. She saw me through several major health issues including a triple bypass heart surgery which turned out to be very complicated. When I got home from the hospital she kept her distance and let me settle in and get comfy. My sister offered to take time off work to care for me for a few weeks which was hugely helpful. At bedtime that first night Mia jumped on my bed and had to lay on my chest and then she had to see my scar, there were no ifs, and or buts about it. So I undid my shirt for her to look and sniff and then when she was content everything was ok she went and laid down between my legs which was her spot. Each night for about 2 weeks she did the same routine while my sister stood close in case she started to scratch me, which she never did. It was just amazing she knew where my problem was. So, a year and a half later I had to put her to sleep because of tongue cancer which had spread. I always felt we knew each other from a past life. I am heartbroken. Sorry for your loss of another very special cat! 💔✌️
Aww. Sorry for your loss. 🥲
@@TheMotomuras Thank you very much!
For two of my kittens I was there at the end. One passed during surgery and our beautiful kitten had 2 seizures and died in my arms on the way to my vet. I'm so sorry for your loss. It is NEVER an easy decision even when you know it's the right and humane thing to do
Thank you for sharing.
You are so brave to have done what was right for Bonnie to end her suffering. We had to do the same when a tumor was pressing against the eye of our cat Charlie. So hard to say goodbye as they became a part of you.
Thank you for the kind words. And sorry for your loss. 😢
I feel your pain. I have many times had to put my cats to sleep. It's never easy, but I can say there are many more to be adopted. She thanks you for all you have given, and most importantly for showing love to her. I'm so sorry..
She was loved and will live forever in your hearts..Death is the ultimate truth...No one will make it alive ..So just remember and cherish the time you spent with both of your cats💗💗💕💕
Boy,did I cry like a baby! Made me think of all the pets I had!
That was a beautiful tribute to Bonnie, thank you.
It is always hard to say goodbye to our furry family members. I cried each time.
My 17 year old cat has become ill recently and for the first time I am facing the possibility of losing her. I am convinced that we will see our pets on the other side. They are beautiful souls that give us the kind of unconditional love that we never get from elsewhere. All creatures great and small, the Lord God made them all.
Well said!
So sorry for your loss and it is so sad. I cried as I watched
Thank you.
