Yesterday I had to have my cat put down. A few weeks ago he began showing symptoms of something. First his bathroom then vomiting then off his food. Tried changing his food adding fiber worked for maybe a week. He soon went off his food. Long weekend prevented me from taking him Thursday evening when he really got worse. Vet said Liver of Kidney disease nothing I could have done no matter how early it was caught.
$400 I can't really afford right now including having him cremated and a cedar box for his ashes.
He was always a good cat. If such a thing can be said he was very polite. He never went outdoors. My daughter brought him to me when he was about 4 weeks. To young to leave his mom but she had just been run over by a transport truck. So Rocky was a big help and we managed to nurse him back to health.
I am not supposed to have a cat I am allergic to them and am not looking for another.
Still it hurt very much. He would have been 6 in September
Needless to say I am not taking this well emotionally. Blaming myself when I know I could not have done anything.
My religion believes in a number of levels of heaven. It also believes you can visit down but not up to see your loved ones. Hopefully he will visit me one day if he doesn't mind the heat. They also believe one can visit below those levels which would be considered heavens.

Thank you Odette. One thing which has really been bothering me since is Rocky is 17 an extreme age for a dog and I keep being afraid he may soon have to follow Mister Whisker's.
ReplyDeleteI am at the moment seriously cutting off human contact and becoming for all intents and purpose a hermit. My brother's death, disinheriting a second brother over his conduct and my remaining brother being mad at that plus both parents in ill health. Add to that my own illness and it seems like a sensible choice. Since last June I have been trying to see my Dad with no sucess and the lose of a few thousand dollars in attempting to. It feels like my fate is to live out my life in solitude. Unlike most people I have already spent more than half my life living alone. Not just my adult years but with my Childhood years counted as well
Hi Sid, I read your comment on Tracey's blog, and just wanted to tell you I'm so sorry about your cat.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry too. Cheer up Sid, you did what was best....now he won't suffer. xxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThe cat was rescued very young when his Mom was killed. I always knew that meant he wouldn't live long but we had almost 6 years. I know it seems an odd way to describe a cat but he was a real gentleman.
