My white kitty is old and on his last legs. He has been slipping, little by little all summer. He is 15 or more years old and is finishing up his life. He has been a real buddy to me. This morning he wouldn't eat anything, and when he walks we is very uncertain in walking. He is drinking water though. But he still comes up beside my chair and wants his ears scratched. I am really gonna miss him when he is gone. The vet says that he is just too old to do anything for him. The not eating is just his way of saying it's time to go and he isn't in any pain.
Oh My Captain...I am so sorry (((HUGGLES))) I know it is not easy to loose a long lived Baby my Boo Boo is 16 and slowly dieing... It hurts me really bad but I know there is nothing that I can do.. It is just becoming her time.. I will keep you in my deepest thoughts till this time of grief passes I know it bites.... Wolfie
Oh Capt, so sorry to hear that it is time to let your friend leave. We will miss pictures of him stretched out behind the stove on cold winter days.
I remember when I was in the hospital after I broke my hip. He would go from room to room and meow for me. He was looking for me. After I was home after my hip replacement he would lay at my feet or next to my chair and keep me company. He had been fixed before he came to live with us and never scratched the furniture, or even tried to get up on the furniture. He loved being outdoors and laying in the sun beams. He is outside now and I have been keeping an eye on him. He has been moving around the yard following the sun. I was just outside and couldn't find him. Will just have to keep checking on him to see if he comes back to the house. Most of the summer he has been vomiting his food almost every evening and has problems with his bowels. And the vet says these are all signs of his age deterioration.
Having seen photos of your kitty Capt we know that you are going to miss him a lot. Try to cherish the last times you have with him. I'm sure if he had a voice he would be thanking you.
He disappeared for 2 hrs. this afternoon. I figured he had gone off to die. I walked all over the yard trying to find him, but couldn't After my son had gotten up I told him about it. I was worried as he was so weak. My son found him under the bridge in the driveway in a tile. It is a steep climb down of about 6 ft. He was too weak to climb back up. My son got down there to get him. And e carried him up to the house. He was so weak he could barely hold his head up. My wife came home from work a little while ago and I asked her what we should do. I just didn't want him to suffer. So he is on his way to the vets and will more than likely be put down as there is nothing that can be done. I couldn't take him without breaking down. So my wife and son took him. Goodbye to a loyal and special friend.
I'm so sorry to here this Capt.My heart is with you as I know you love him so much.You will so miss him but you will have such great memories of your white buddy.He was a great friend.I would have been like you I would have said my goodbyes at home too.God Bless you Capt.
Oh, Capt, He had a long and happy life with you and I know you are going to hurt like h*** for several days. May the pain ease soon and the good memories help you find peace.
Capt, I am so sad for you. Our pets are so special to us, especially when we have had them for so many years. I am glad your son found kitty. Your heart will surely ache for awhile. My prayers are with you.
Capt, So sorry to hear about your kitty. Just remember you will meet again someday at the Rainbow Bridge. Karen
I feel so sad for you today Cap't... The way you described it, it was like your pal just wanted to walk around and take a look at things one last time today. It's the hardest thing, to let them go when it's their time. He's had such a long happy life with you... Special thoughts and prayers for you today. And for White Kitty too.
