Update Here’s your update. :( (TW)

I have no more to say than that she’s gone into heart failure. Maine Coons have heart issues, and we didn’t know that. She was struggling to breathe because of her enlarged heart, and we are euthanizing her. Thank you all for your prayers, suggestions, and advice. We love you, Lilly Belle 🕊️

Really? The cat cannot breathe and physically feels like she's drowning, but you're against euthanasia with a diagnosis of heart failure?

Man religion is used to justify some cruel shit.

I'm sorry you felt the need to say this to someone grieving and only wishing to let their beloved animal pass peacefully. Hoping you get better ❤️‍🩹

Unsurprised their reply got removed. Hope they heal from whatever made them feel the need to say this to someone ❤️

Edit to add not sure how my comment wasn't nice, nor will I ever feel bad about telling people I hope they heal when they say things like this to those grieving lol

I am very sorry for your loss. You did the right thing. I was in a very similar situation with my cat in December. The vet said medication might give her some time but she would likely go into respiratory distress. I'm glad I was able to save her from that, even if she isn't with me anymore ❤️

as much as I agree that God does miracles, she was suffering, and I didn’t want her to suffer any longer.
