I am very sorry about your cat, Jeffrey but I think you should accept death as a natural part of life. Instead of trying to perpetuate the life of the cat in some sort of substitute existence, it's better and healthier for you to let go, grieve for the pet and move on. You would not try to have your parents cloned or stuffed, would you? If you try to deny the finality of death you will get caught in the past and deprive yourself of the pleasure to have another cat. That may sound cruel to you at the moment but I am sure you will manage to deal with your cat's death.
My cat died in December of liver cancer, and while I miss her very much, I wouldn't have had her cloned, or stuffed. I don't even think I'll get another pet for a good long while, until I'm sure I'm over her :(
I'm sorry to hear of your pets' deaths.
My sister had a hamster I was attached to, and he died a almost over a year ago. I kind of miss him, but I'm so busy I don't often have time to think of him
Aw I'm very sorry to hear that Jeffrey :(
I also have 2 cats, (one is 14 and the other is almost 9)and I really feel bad when something's wrong with them. However if I were in your situation, I'd not think about cloning or stuffing. Both 'options' seem horrible to me.
And it may sound a bit harsh, I don't mean to, but I really think you should decide that it's been enough for your cat. You can, your cat can't. And from what I read, I think the cat is suffering a lot. I hope you understand what I mean, I don't mean to sound rude or harsh. But if there is no possibility for your cat to get better, and it's this ill...you said "she just won't die" ..well you know, that is just awful.
My first cat was 6 years old when the vet discovered she had a braintumor. It was incurable. That was a terrible situation, but after a few days of thinking about it, I decided to stop it all. It was not easy, but knowing she was in pain and her life was miserable was even more difficult.
Please, think of this: remember the good times and all the joy your cat gave you, and put an end to the misery?
