My sweet boy was just diagnosed with kidney failure and probably renal cancer.
The news is so sad I just need to lay the weight somewhere. I hope you don't mind if I write about him here.
Jazzy is ten and my little sweet-tempered, beautiful Balinese companion. He came into a house with severe pet allergies (hubby) but managed to be low enough in allergens that my husband was able to live close to a cat for the first time. Jazzy quickly stole his heart and he has said a hundred times how glad he was I pushed for a "hypoallergenic" cat. Jazzy (until a week or so ago) would wake me up on the sofa with quiet meows to go to bed. He both wanted me to go to bed, but was polite enough to wake me quietly. Occasionally, I would also get a "tap-tap" if I was sleeping soundly.
My furniture doesnt have a scratch, but he has shredded several wave scratchers. Such a good boy. He is such a smart cat.
In time, we had a whole sleep routine built, where I would be herded to bed by Jazzy, and get into bed. Hubby would lay down and I would "present the arm". Mainly, lay my arm down so himself could settle across it and self-snuggle. Only my arm please, he will wait for it expectantly. Daddy's was a second fiddle choice, but acceptable if I were out of town. He adjusts himself, tail high, like a king in his throne and purrs his happy place purr. It's so funny how a little cat built such a grand night routine of snuggles.
In the middle of the night, any bathroom trip if guarded by himself, his back to me facing outward in case of attack. He is a smart cat and seldom gets underfoot. He sits on a little cat tower beside my desk in my office. He has crashed a few meetings in his day. No one minded too much. He comes to get me about 5PM so I will come upstairs already. In the morning, he lays on my leg when I am on the computer and reaches for the keyboard. he is obviously trying to work the computer too.
Himself also loves to wear Daddy's slippers.
he is slowing down and we know the time will come soon. We found a vet who will come here to put him down when he is ready to go. Until them, we are giving him so much love. What a gift he has been. Pets always teach us more about love. Thanks for reading and hug your pet.
