Sympathy please and pixie dust.

[magicwand]

I had to cancel my reservation today - I have a very sick cat home who might not make it. I know may sound silly to some of the "haters" out there but he is our family. We just cannot go on vacation with the situation what it is. Maybe next year. Feeling very sad but, "it is what it is."

Sorry to hear the news. Hopefully, you got a refund on everything.

Cats and other pets are part of the family. Disney will always be there.


Jimmy Thick- Best Wishes.

Pets are just as much family as humans are. Disney will always be there. Best wishes to you!

 

[HRHPrincessAriel]

I would have done the same. Good Thoughts!

 

[MickeyPeace]

As others have said, pets are family. Prayers to you and your cat. Spend quality time at home. WDW isn't going anywhere.

 

[MouseDreaming]

That's hard. If our family were in that situation, I'm sure we would have done the same thing. I don't think we could have a good vacation under those circumstances. Sprinkling much Pixie dust your way.

Best wishes to your cat.

Our pets are our kids. You have my deepest sympathies. We would have done the exact same thing if we were in your shoes.

 

[rufio]

My puppies are my children. There's no way I would go on vacation if either of them was seriously ill. Sending pixie dust your way!

I almost had to do the same thing last year. My dog was diagnosed with lymphoma a few days before we were supposed to leave. I was ready to cancel, and had even emailed my awesome TA Tammy at KK asking her to cancel. Unfortunately, she went downhill so so fast that I had to send my baby girl to heaven before we were supposed to leave. We went anyway, and I spent the entire trip in tears. It was still better than being home in a lonely, quiet house though.

If I may ask, what has your pet been diagnosed with? I only ask because I've been in veterinary medicine for 10 years, and maybe I can offer some tips or ideas. You and your family have my deepest sympathies, and I will keep you all in my prayers. *virtual hug*

Sorry about you sad news. As others have said you are doing the right thing for your family - you can visit that world when your family is taken care of.

 

[ddbowdoin]

that is too bad... maybe I am a bad cat owner, I would have just taken it for what it is and enjoyed my vacation.

 

[Minthorne]

I'm sorry to hear that. My cat is 14&1/2 and I think I'd probably do the same.

 

[harveyt0206]

I'm so sorry. We lost our beloved dog, Emme, to cancer in February and I can tell you right now that nothing, not even Disney, could have torn me from her side during those final days. This is a family member who has shared unconditional love with you through the years. As others have said, Disney isn't going anywhere. I hope your time with your pet is peaceful.

Hope your kitty feels better!!!

 

[tinkerblonde11]

Very sorry to hear your news, best wishes and prayers sent your way.

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

I'm so sorry. Pets are definitely family. Last September, my golden retriever Chelsea was diagnosed with lymphoma and did well until a week after I got back from Disney World.

 

[NeedMoreMickey]

Sorry to hear about your cat and understand completely about staying home. You probably wouldn't enjoy you trip very much if you are worried about your pet.

 

[Tiggerfanatic]

I am so sorry to here about your kitty being sick. Our pets are indeed cherished members of our family, and I know I could not enjoy a vacation if one of my fur babies was home sick. I would never forgive myself if they were to pass away and I wasn't there. Hugs to you and your kitty.
