I hope I didn’t miss anybody. I just wanted to update those who have responded so kindly to my thread about our furry loved ones.
Kitty died Thursday morning. I took her to the vet that Wednesday after I posted this thread. She wasn’t diabetic, she had a urinary and kidney infection. She was to be on antibiotics for 2 weeks.
After a few days, she seemed to perk up and I thought yay, she’ll pull through. The weekend before she died, I knew she was going. She started to wobble.
I went into work Monday and told the girls Kitty was going, it was a matter of days. Went into work Tuesday and took 1/2 a day, because I knew it was Tuesday or Wednesday (her 2 week follow up, after the antibiotics was on Wednesday).
Went I got home on Tuesday I canceled the vet appt. I knew it was time. I was able to spend the last almost 2 last days with her, kissing her, crying into her fur, knowing this was it.
Tuesday night was the last night she arose. She laid there dying. I was with her from Tuesday afternoon until her death Thursday morning (no, I couldn’t even shower. Anytime I left her she mewed, something she never did before). Wednesday night, about 8:30, I begged God to take her so I wouldn’t have to do it.
I begged for just one more hour though. I laid there on the couch with her and cried my eyes out, thinking I had just 1 more hour. 9:30 passed and she was still breathing. I stayed up until 11 or so.
I awoke the next morning and she was still breathing, but it was different.
She died about 9:30-9:40 Thursday morning. I was there for her last breath and was devastated. I called my friend because I didn’t know what to do. She said to call your vet, if I couldn’t, she would call for me. I said I would.
The vet’s office (whom I will now be using for my other 2) said I could bring her in for the Dr. to check and confirm. They were so sweet and understanding. I said I wanted her cremated and they explained I could leave her and they would take care of it.
I said I wanted to bring her to the crematorium myself. I took my shower, called the vet’s office and said I was on my way. When i walked in, they took me immediately to the exam room and the Dr. came right in. She confirmed my Kitty was gone.
They were so sweet. I broke down, again, apologized to them and they said “no, please, we’re so sorry for your loss”. The Dr. then took Kitty’s head in her hands and rubbed her head.
I took her to the crematorium and they too were so loving and kind.
I’m picking her ashes up on Tuesday. I have not been myself since and now it seems this pain will never go away. The man who performs the cremation said I will have closure once I get her home (he wouldn’t let me leave until I had my self control back. I was devastated.)
I just wanted to update you guys who were so kind and loving in my time of despair. I’ll never forget it.
One thing I realized this morning.....I asked God to take her, but to give me 1 last hour. If He had given me what I had asked for, it would have been around 9:30 Wednesday night. At the same time I was begging Him to take her, I was begging Him for more time.
Thursday morning, just after 9:30, He took her back. He knew I needed more time, but yet He knew I didn’t want her to suffer anymore, as I’m sure he didn’t either, nor wanted me to suffer anymore.
That’s my update. I am still devastated by her loss. Feels like a large chunk of my heart has been ripped out and will never be replaced.
I thank the Good Lord for seeing what I needed, not wanted, as He took my Kitty back to His Kingdom.
Again, thank you ALL for your support and kindness. I have learned much and am now applying it to my other 2.
God Bless you all.
So, so sorry. You will feel better, but you will always miss her. I have two who make me misty eyed to this day, and I lost them years ago. Some kitties just create such strong bonds with us, and it is very painful when they go. I am so sorry.
My condolences to you on the sad passing of your beloved cat. :(=^..^=
Pax vobiscum.
You did everything right.
So sorry...They take such a big chunk of our hearts with them.....it’s very hard....just hope I see them in Heaven.
Sorry for your loss as I just read that your beloved kitty died. May The LORD comfort you as you grieve. Maybe the info I gave you will someday come in handy with your other two. Again, God bless you and keep you.
