Beenie (GA)
Member Since 2017
I so deeply appreciate everyone’s support in all this. So amazing to have all of this kindness, empathy, and console at such a very hard time in my life. I read everyone’s posts yesterday but couldn’t bring myself to log on and respond because it hurt way too much. If you asked me a month ago that I would be writing Beenie’s GA post I wouldn’t have believed it for a second. She was not herself for a good year. Months after the FD dx I continued to keep those patience pants on waiting for things to turn around. I can’t thank Wendy&Neko enough for pointing out the heart could be an issue with an Acro cat. God knows my vet knew nothing about Acro and what it can do to the body. With that I pushed for more tests and it was indeed my poor Beenie’s heart. Had I not known she would have continued to suffer. I will be forever grateful Wendy, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Beenie came home with us on September 16, 2005 along with Ming. The two were inseparable, like peas in a pod. Always played together, ate together and of course slept intertwined with each other. Beenie was a smart cat. She loved to talk and always got the last meow in. For as long as I can remember she loved food. Her favorite room was the kitchen. If either of us was in there better believe she would be weaving in between your legs and pawing up the kitchen cabinets wondering what was on that counter top. We never gave her people food knowing it was bad but she would get deli meat whenever a sandwich was being made or a little piece of chicken. She loved ham and turkey.
She was full of life and energy. She greeted you at the door whenever you got home. She would greet house guests too! She was also a kisser, always gave you little licks on the hand to let you know she loved you. Believe it or not Beenie was DH’s cat. She was in awe of him. Looked at him with those big blue eyes like “I love my daddy sooooo much”. I’ve read people call their cats with that special bond their soul kitties; Beenie was DH’s soul kitty. She gave me tremendous love and affection too of course. She was my little Beenie bear.
We did have a special moment on Wednesday where she wanted belly rubs that seemed to last forever. She purred nonstop and not once coughed. It was truly special. Thursday morning I pet her and she gave me her final Beenie kisses with licks to my hand. We gave her lots of ham and even some Swiss cheese…she was so happy
DH held her in his arms as she crossed the rainbow bridge to meet all the other wonderful kitties there. She is now free to play and eat whatever she likes, no more pain, and no more trips to the vet.
We will miss her dearly. I wanted to share the prayer I read right before she past.
Dear God you have given us care over all living things; protect and bless the animals who give us companionship and delight, make us their true friends and worthy companions. Please take good care of our Beenie. She has filled our house and hearts with love, cuddles, and purrs.
No more pain baby, fly free. You will always be with us and us with you.
We love you with all of our heart forever and ever
I want to still be a presence on the FDMB and hope that I can help in any way I can. These past six months I’ve learned a great deal from everyone here about FD, feline health and nutrition. I too hope that I can share anything I’ve learned with others in need. This is truly the best place you never wanted to be.
