Its with a heavy heart that I have to post that Princess, Spikes sister passed away this morning. She was just shy of 18 years old. She was the only female besides me in a house of all males. I'll miss her dearly.
She had been fine up until the last month. Over the past week I noticed her breathing heavier than usual. I brought her to the vet last night and she had fluid around her lungs and what looked like a mass near her heart. After her xray she was mouth breathing a lot. The vet gave me all her options which included having a eco cardigram under sedation, a catheter maybe tapping her lungs just to see how her heart was. She also had kidney issues. In my heart I didnt think she would make it through all the stress and the vet hinted that the results probably wouldnt be good. I decided to take her home and spend some time with her. I knew to bring her in with any signs of distress. I was laying on the couch early this morning and heard her vomit, then I saw her she was mouth breathing again with her tongue hanging out. I knew it was her time. By the time we got to the vet she couldnt use her back legs, she had thrown a clot. I was with her when she took her final breath and she was looking at me and knew I loved her always. I took her home and dh and I are bringing her to be cremated this morning. I always hoped shed live to be 20 but it wasnt in her cards. She was well loved and cared for ever since the day she was found in a tree trunk. Im sure all her brothers and sisters that went before her are meeting her at the big cat nip field in the sky. Bye sweety, I love you.
 
janice, i'm so sorry. she lived a great life with you, and what a blessing you could be with her as she passed, knowing how much she was loved. 18 is a damn good life, but i know it's never long enough. (((Janice)))
 
Sorry about your dear Princess. She had a good life. I will share your grief. Best wishes. Dan
 
I'm so sad to hear about your dear Princess but I'm glad you were with her. What a gift for her to look at you right before she passed. I have tears in my eyes as I write this because even though she lived a good long life, it doesn't make it any easier when it is time for our kitties to leave us. Lots of love and hugs coming your way.
 
(((((((((Janice))))))))) ((((((((((and Spike))))))))) I'm so sorry about your loss.
I'm glad you could be there with her before she crossed. Big Tears.

Janice, I am so sorry. I don't even know you and the tears are just rolling down my face. Your sweet Princess knew you were there for her and loved her to the end, and now she can roll around in the big catnip field with all our GA friends. Big hugs to you.

Goodbye

With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes
after all these years; we must say goodbye
Please understand; we've done all we could
if there was anything we could do; you know we would

I'm sitting right here; gently rub your ears
while I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears
The memories you gave us; we'll never forget
especially the ones; of the day we all met

One last hug; and one last kiss
you have no idea; how much you'll be missed
To look into your eyes; this one last time
you tell me it's ok; you know it's your time

Close your eyes now; and go to sleep
we'll pray to the Lord; you're soul he'll keep
Go in peace now; our good friend
we'll stay right here with you; until the end

Dream of that special day and time
when we'll meet at the Bridge; and all will be fine
We'll run and play; side by side
with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside

Your memory will live on; in each one of us
you'll always be number 1; to all of us
Have a safe journey; through the night
I promise when you awake; you'll be in God's light

So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes
just for now my friend; we say goodbye.

--John Quealy
 
(((Janice))) I'm so sorry.
I know how special Princess is to you - and how much you love her...
I'll always remember the stories you told me bout her. The things she liked to eat... :)
It's funny how cats we've never met can make such an impact... please know she won't be forgotten.
I'm glad you were able to be with her. Fly free sweet Princess.
many many hugs :(
 
Our very, very deepest sympathy in your loss, Janice. Princess was obviously extremely well loved and had a long, happy life. She is free now and you gave her the greatest gift of all through your love for her.
