I got the call we all dread from the vet. His kidneys are failing, and judgeing from his rapid decline, they are going fast. She estimated that he had less than 25% kidney function left based on his test results.

We are going to have to say goodbye. Neither one of us can cope with long goodbyes, or literally watching to see if he is breathing, in pain, etc so it will be today. Sylly and I are on the couch, having a snuggle, and he just had a meal of his favourite dry food (that has been forbidden in this house since Sammy was diabetic). I am going to call my son to come with me to the vet. My hubby cant face it.

My heart is breaking. Sylly is literally hugging me as I cry. This is so hard.


Update: he has crossed over

My heart is breaking with yours. He and Cali left together. May they both be running free healthy and happy together in the meadow at the edge of the rainbow bridge.

Oh heavens, Mel, this is too bizarre that we are going through this at the same time. We are a mess here, and I am sure you and Jon are too. Love you, my friend, and wish we could sit and talk about our kitties in person some day.
 
We are and she wasn't even ours. Anytime my friend. My guest room and front porch is always open. You could even bring Sammy. Btw..Duvessa and Myrrdin are twin brother/sister tuxes.

So sorry for your pain Linda. I love how Sylvester and Cali went together to fly free at the bridge. I am praying for peace and comfort to be with you in your memories as you mourn.
 
So sorry for your loss, but he's in a better place now, making new friends to play with.
 
I'm so sorry, Linda. :cry: May Sylly be forever in your heart and may you be reunited at Rainbow Bridge. rb_icon
 
Thanks everyone. We have come to terms with it, rather quickly it seems. He had gone downhill so very suddenly and was quite obviously not having much joy in his life at all. His test results were extremely conclusive, so there was no arguing to be done really. That makes it so much easier... the truth does set you free.

I feel good about that last afternoon. I spent time hugging him, gave him a meal of "forbidden favourite foods" and took him outside in the backyard for a little while. (he was an indoor cat who always really did want to check out the outdoors, if he had the nerve to do so). I was also glad I took some treats for him to the vet, so that he was getting a nice nibble while they sedated him. Did all I could to make it easy for him.

Sammy has not really shown signs of being upset about it all, which surprises me some. She can be such a vocal cat, we really thought we would have nights of her hollering "Hello? Hello?" (she literally says that). She is doing great, still OTJ and healthy and fit. Ironic, since she was the one we thought we might lose.
 
So sorry for your loss. You seem like such an excellent cat mother and did everything you could. Keep your head up. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
 
i am so sorry linda :( reading this made me cry. i cant imagine how u feel :(
glad syl is free now. thoughts and prayers r with u. much healing to ur heart.
 
Aww... I've been out of town and just saw your post. I'm so very sorry for you loss. It's never easy to lose a fur baby. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time. :YMHUG:
