I'm pretty sure a heart attack got her. I was in the room with her and she's been having trouble for about a week now and the vets couldn't really find anything but a bladder infection and high liver values.
Still holding her in my arms, in shock. Will take her to vet tomorrow for cremation.
She's been through Diabetes (3 years), Lymphoma (1.3 years), hepatic lipidosis, and other ailments.
I've known her since she was 1 month old, and she's 17 now.
I'm glad at least I could be with her at the end. Please pray for me and my baby girl.

I am soooo sorry! You have given each other 17 beautiful years. Fly free sweet Cleo, land softly at the bridge.

I am so very sorry for your loss but how wonderful for Cleo to be at home and with you. She removed your need to make any decision for her. Be at peace, Cleo.

I am so sorry. There just are no words that are even close to adequate. I am sure you are in shock. I am glad you could be with Cleo and even more, that she wasn't alone. She was wrapped in your loving arms and she knew she was safe and cared for. Know in your heart she will be waiting for you at the Bridge. All of our GA kitties will keep her happy chasing butterflies and each others' tails until you are reunited.

Fly free beautiful Cleo.

Chris, I am so glad you were with her. I know that was a comfort to you both because you have cared for her and loved her for so long. I also know that you must be missing her terribly at this moment. You both have my love and prayers.
 
I am so saddened to hear this. ((((((Chris)))))) I am so glad you were together at the end, but it doesn't make your heart hurt less. Sending prayers for a joyful crossing to rainbow bridge for Cleo. And prayers of peace and comfort to you.

I'm so sorry to see this, Chris. Even knowing she hadn't been feeling good, I'm sure this is a shock. I'm glad you were there with her, but so sorry....it's always too soon.

Fly free, sweet Cleo. wings_cat
 
Oh Chris...I am so, so sorry to hear this. I'm just glad, for her sake, that she died in your arms, surrounded by love.
 
omg Chris...... I'm in shock. She's been such a trooper, I thought she would go on forever.
Cleo has such a special soul. ... so yes, she will go on forever.
I'm just so very very sorry her furry self had to leave you .
a little incoherent here, typing through tears.

(((((((((((((((( Chris ))))))))))))))))

Sending our love with you dear sweet Cleo. wings_cat
I'm sure Winnie and Wolfie will greet you .

Take care of you Chris.

with deepest sympathy,
 
Chris this is so heartbreaking and I'm so very sorry that your beautiful Cleo had to leave tonight. Your love for her is the light that helps her on her way. (((Chris))) I wish I could ease your pain on this sad day.
 
I'm so sorry, Chris. She chose her time, in your arms. You have been through so much and have taken such good care of her through everything. She was so lucky to have you as her bean. Hugs to you and DH.
 
Oh Dear God not CLeo!! I can't believe this. I know she was feeling poorly but I never dreamed this could happen. Like Cheryl I kind of felt she would beat everything that was thrown at her . Chris words can't express how sorry I am and how much I wish that there was something that I could do to help ease the terrible pain you are feeling right now. My heart aches for you.

Fly high and free sweet Miss Cleo. Heaven has gained a very special angel tonight and I know our GAs are all there to greet you at the Bridge. You will be truly missed.
 
Aww, Chris, my heart goes out to you. Such a shock for you but I am so thankful you were there with her when she passed. Your beautiful girl.....fought so many battles.....you were a wonderful Mom to her for all those years and so many of us know how deep your pain is tonight. You have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy. Bless her and may God hold her close on His lap. Many tears are being shed reading your post.......we feel the pain. wings_cat
 
Oh man...how hard. I am glad she chose a time where you were there to carry her to the bridge, but so sad it's happened.

She was blessed to have owned you, and you were blessed to have been owned by her. Fly free, sweet Cleo, and wait at the bridge for Chris...

Prayers and lots of hugs for you.

Best-
Michele
 
Oh I am so sorry for your sudden loss. That is so sad - but 17 years - I guess we Brits would call that "a jolly good innings" - especially having gone through such a lot.
I hope you can take comfort in that.
 
{{ Chris }}

My heart is breaking for you. No matter when, it is always too soon.

Fly Free Dear Cleo.

Remember Our Love

I was chosen today
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone

When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

My heart is crying with yours. I have looked at her picture so very many times. She seems to just radiate love and sweetness from her sweet face. You were blessed with 17 years with her and I know she was twice blessed to have spent them with you and receiving your loving care. To have left on her own terms, to have the angel carry her from your arms to heaven's gate.... I know she is with our angels and will be waiting for you. I'm so very very sorry.
 
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((CHRIS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I know you are probably still numb.. as I said, let me know if you need anything. I am so very sorry Cleo had to leave you tonight. Wrapping you in many cyber hugs.. I know Merlyn will look out for Cleo in the spirit world for sure.
 
((Chris)) I'm so sorry to see this. You two have been through so much and your sweet baby has always been such a fighter and has come through it all - and then so suddenly. Less suffering for her but you are left with the real suffering in saying goodbye. I'm so glad you were there with her and able to hold her and say goodbye.

There's a group at the Bridge welcoming her - all of our beautiful companions that have gone on before and she will be whole and free and young and once again feel no pain.

My heart goes out to you - l7 years - what a long and yet short time together - it's never long enough. I'm sending many comforting prayers your way tonight - she has left you (and the board) with so many wonderful memories. We're saying goodbye to so many of our old-timers - and it's so sad.

Sending many hugs,

Emmy & Dude (& Mittsi too)
 
Oh Chris ...what a shock! I'm sharing your tears...... I 'm so glad you were with her.

Fly free sweet beautiful girl you will be missed by all.

((((Chris))))) Sending you hugs and prayers
 
oh, chris- so terribly sorry for your heartache. we will hold you and cleo in our hearts tonight.

celi & binks
 
Chris, I am so sorry to read of your loss.
My thoughts are with you at such a sad time.
I Know our kitties that have gone ahead will be helping to make the transition for Cleo, a little gentler.
