I will have to go to the vet this week and will probably be faced with the desicion to have my wee cat put to sleep and Im really struggling with it. I don't want him to be in any pain but I feel as if its not up to me to make that decision and tbh would much rather let him go naturally as long as he isn't in any pain. Hes about 22 years old which makes him probably in his 90's in cat years. I have had him for about 12 years now and I really love him to bits but hes really went downhill the last couple of weeks. I have tried to use reiki on him myself but Im not sure if I am doing any good with it. Can I also bless his food and water and if so how? I really would appreciate any help or advicce on how to do this and if you can some reiki for my wee cat. His name is lucifer and tbh I am devastated I know whats going to happen and I dont want to have him put down but I just want him to know that its ok if its his time and I dont want him to be distressed or in any pain. It would be preferable if he could go at home with me and my daughter around to be with him. Please any help or anything would be great for my loyal wee cat xx

Hi Fruity,
Keep your hands above his food and water or even hold his bowl in your palms and send Reiki for a while, intending that Reiki fills the water and food. Reiki flows to him to his highest good, to you too.
With love, Monica

Hi Fruity Reiki on the way for Lucifer, it's heartbreaking to see a beloved pet in pain, and even more heartbreaking to make that decision. From past experience you'll know if it's time to make that decision, until then just give him as much love and care as possible. Reiki flows to you too love stef

Thanks I really appreciate it. This is the first time I have ever had a pet this long and hes the only cat I ever had too, did have another cat a few years ago but he was a wee terror and was making lucifers life a misery and he was far too rough with him so we had to rehome him.
He was miaowing today for food a few times which he hasnt done in a few days, hes just mostly been sleeping and eating and other than that he seems a little better but hes really at the end of his life. Just want him to go peacefully. I dunno if I said what age he is, hes about 22 which is pretty long for a cat!! I think if he was a human he would be a centenarian by now, think thats what its called anyway. Thanks again for the help, advice and reiki am sure its helping to make things a bit easier on him.

Thanks both of you it still hasnt sunk in its going to be just so weird with him not around. I dont suppose you could send my daughter Toni some reiki. Shes only 16 and never experienced death apart from my gran I think she was really upset more because she saw him when he was dying.
She took some photos of him last week so we are gonna get some of them printed out and put them in a wee frame. Still not sunk in at all. Thanks loads for your words of support and the reiki too. I think it must have helped him a bit because he did seem a bit more brighter the last couple of days before it. xx

Hi I FELT i really needed to write this to you. I completely get where your coming from Animals are our gift they usually show us what we need to be eg stronger or a little bit more canny regarding people getting healing sent to your pet is the greatest gift you could ever give the belief is it helps prepare the soul/body/mind to let go with peace your cat was blessed to have you That is why they came to you at such an important time..... the time to leave this world with love and peace As awful as this sounds i would suggest that you go to the cat sanctuary and maybe get another cat or help as your cat has opened the door to your heart for the cat that needs you the most.. these cats are crying out for love some have had a bad time others just abandoned they are there not by choice but they are there for us. This happened to a dear friend of mine i 'felt' she needed to go and get a cat not to replace 'wheezy' but to help her with her grief.... at first she said no then a cat just turned up and sat at her house day in day out she ignored it but it kept coming back and waiting at her door crying but would never go in So in the end she looked at the cat and said to ok i'll go off she went to the cat sanctuary and came home with a cat 'buzz' the mystery cat has never been seen since... now don't go like my friend as the visit to the sanctuary really struck her and now they have four cats she was the last person i 'felt' needed to go till now just go have a look around maybe you need to go to help or choose only you will know when you get there bring your daughter to help her I wish you well take care

Thanks that does sound like a good idea but think I will wait a little while till the time is right. We were so lucky to get wee lucifer it was only by chance really. I had always liked cats and had always wanted one and it was an advert in a window for someone who had found a lost cat and on the spur of the moment I took the number down and the girl who had him was pregnant so wanted to try and rehome him as soon as possible, turned out to be a girl I had went to primary school with and hadnt seen for years. Ive always felt that he was meant to come to us hes always been such a gentle wise wee cat. Im sure he was an old soul who had been here many times before. I even had this weird epiphany last year one day I had a migraine and was trying to lie down and sleep it off and lucifer was sat purring at my head wanting me to pet him and I felt as if he was trying to tell me not to worry that everything was the way it should be and there was nothing to worry about. I hope wherever he is now he is happy. I wonder if he is with my gran. I know she would look after him, she always loved animals and I know she would take care of him. The house is so empty and not the same at all without him. I feel so priveliged to have had him and to have been there with him when he died. Everybody loved him who met him, even my mother! She was scared of cats but the first time she ever came to my house after we got him he was scratching at the door as I had put him in my daughters room because my mother had been scratched by a cat but she felt bad when she hear him trying to get out and she really loved him in the end, he would sit on her chest being petted and put his paws around her neck actually cuddling her. He was definitely a special wee man I feel so lucky to have had him its just so heartwrenching that hes gone now. Thanks for everyones support and for any healing for my wee lucifer adn for me and my daughter. We are going to have some photos framed of him. He really was a wee angel sent to watch over us and teach us things. In a way its brought me and my daughter a bit closer the last few days because things had been strained with us for a while but I think he knew that too. xx

This is a link that Monica sent me after I had told her how my cat is always sitting on my lap when I'm relaxing at home. I'm in almost constant pain with my back these days. I got my cat just over a year ago when he was about 3 months old, he's very affectionate with my partner too, but when I'm home he's with me more.............it's amazing how much they know www.suite101.com/content/cat-purring-heals-humans-too-a301041Lucifer was a gorgeous cat and he obviously cared about you and your daughter............I'm sure he'll let you know when it's time for you both to find another pet to love

Yeah my wee lucifer was like that he used to come up and lie his wee head on my arm and if I was petting him and stopped he would hit my arm to get me to start again and look at me he always seemed to know when either of us was upset and he was really always there for both of us. My daughter moved out for a few months because we werent getting on and it was just me and lucifer. It was nice becaue I got even closer to him when it was just him and me, he was like my wee shadow lol if I went to the toilet he used to go to his litter tray or sometimes he would sit at the door lol
We were having a look at the rescue cats today just for a look theres a wee boy cat called ryley who is disabled and only has three legs. Will see though cause dont want to jump into anything but I dunno I get a bit of a good vibe and would love to home a wee cat who really needs it. Its such a shame that so many people will just dump their pets the way they do. I couldnt ever do that to any animal.
Ive been really sick the last year or so and lucifer has always been there for me. I think he hated being alone in the house at all so its been great in a way having to stay home with him. xx

Thank you for posting a picture he's handsome that's for sure they say that animals are natural healers that is why the Egyptians loved them so. They have a great energy for grounding and pulling out negative energy I have over the years noticed that cats seem to be around more healers spending time in the healing rooms they always seem to join in. A healing friend of mine found out her cat was always with different families how? Well she was giving free reiki and different patients would say" hay" that's my cat he'd just purr and give what looked like a wink The most amazing thing about him was that she used to call him in her mind and blam he's come running meowing sadly he got hit by a car and his connection to her helped her find him in the street. Since then she got herself a dog and another cat and is trying to communicate via thought to prove that we all have the ability. So far my cat just looks at me yawns and walks off Thank you for the picture it's nice to know about him who he was and what he did it keeps his energy alive I wish you well and thank you for sharing /color]
