[H1C2]

so, i dont what i ever mentioned about our pets, but we had 3 cats. 2 boys and a girl, all bro's/sis. 3 days ago my husbands cat was acting weird, like he had a bladder stone again. i know this b/c our other male cat had one and i know how they act w/ one. well 2 days ago i took him to the vet, he was unable to pee, and (fun fact?!) male cats have a hard bone for a penis, and the stones cannot pass b/c the urethra isnt able to open up more to let it pass, well anyhow.... the vet had to keep the cat and give him anethesia to straight cath him to get it all out and clean out his bladder. yesterday dh was supposed to pick him up, he was still not doing well, so they kept him overnight again.. i was supposed to work today, so dh called to see how he was doing if he could pick him up, vet had to talk to him and he had died during the night.

now this cat was so lovey, did some of the coolest things! i was always a dog person, til these 3 kitties, so i feel horrible!!! its nothing we did, and i know that his kidneys had backed up too, and i am sure the anesthesia wasnt able to process thru the body, so- thats what took him.

i feel so bad, dh called crying so hard i couldnt understand him, i felt so bad ladies!! i have gone thru stuff w/ other pets that were mine that i had to put down, and its horrible. the thing i feel the worst about? that Liger passed away in a cage, himself, in a place that wasnt his. but i know that the anesthesia was still in him pretty heavy, so i am pretty sure he wasnt in pain. ya know?

the other 2 kitties keep looking for him, the brother keeps crying, i feel soo dam.n bad!

Thanks for listening!

Ah, man, I'm so sorry I can't imagine how much that hurts...only lost cats growing up, My cat, Audrey is still kicking and I know I'll cry, hard, when she dies. And poor kitties, looking for their brother

[~I ♥ my Munchkin~]

I am SO sorry for you & your DH's loss. OMG, that's horrible!! I have a very soft place in my heart for kitties. My princess, Neko, is 14-15 years old now. I CANNOT imagine what I will go through when she goes (it makes me get all choked up thinking about it). My kitty Lil' Dude has diabetes really bad (we're talking 2 insulin injections a day/regular blood sugar monitoring/& a strict diet of grain free/low carb canned food). He has neuropathy really bad too. You know, but I will do whatever is within my power to make him well.

Sorry, the point is my heart goes out to your husband (and you of course). Losing our furbabies really is like losing a family member. I hope you don't blame yourself that he wasn't at home, you know, you were trying to get him better.

*big hugs* Have you ever read that poem about losing pets called The Rainbow Bridge?

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.


All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.


They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.


You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.



Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
