[Hot Tabasco]

God gave us dogs and cats for a reason...........

I lost my cat last Saturday morning and now there is a huge void in my life.

I’m sorry to hear that-I lost my 18-19 year old Maine Coon less than 2 months ago-he went to sleep and just stopped-losing two pets in a year is hard-I’m comforted by my other two cats-do you have another cat companion?

We lost our kitty last Sunday night close to midnight. Courtney was 21 and a member of the family. She was a very small Tabby and loved to be held or sit on my lap for hours. Late Sunday she was moaning and could not move her back legs. Her old heart and arrhythmia created a blood clot that lodged in her back spine and prevented blood flow to her back legs. We suspected micro clots had been occurring over the last few months. It was a hard decision to put her down, but the vet said it would be painful to remove the clot and would likely keep occurring and suspected her breathing was also impacted by clots in the lungs.

I can completely sympathize that the house now feels so empty without her. My wife and I had her with us every waking moment. Courtney marked the passing of time for our family and our daughters growing up with her. Courtney always slept on the younger daughters bed when she lived at home and even our daughters are very upset at her passing. She was just a fury bundle of love.

If your kitty was suffering, you did the only kind thing possible for your precious pet-I’ve felt guilty after having a suffering pet put down, too-but I couldn’t bear to have them leave a happy life in such pain-I don’t think we ever feel right about the decision...
