And we came home to a very relaxed Bertie.
Bertie looks very much like the Fluffa Duffa, Fluffy also has very hairy feet and is in the process of maulting out a thick winter maine

Hi! My name is Luke Skywalker (butterscotch tabby). My mom rescued me from a garbage can when I was a baby and very hungry. I love snuggles and I am very attached to my dad and big brother. Mom gets frustrated cause she wants all the snuggles and she says she saved me, so she should get them all. I have a furry sister, her name is Leia Skywalker. She’s pretty annoying, and I get jealous every time she gets to go outside.

Lucky I’m not the jealous type
She’s swooning and she only does this for Greg. Not for her momma. Not for anyone else. Just Greg.
This is too cute!

Today this afternoon while I was in a meeting, I heard this "thud" in the living room. Lucky was laid out on the floor not breathing and her sister losing her sh*t. So I pick her up, I shake her I pump her chest and get her breathing.
Then I get her put in my car. Not an easy task when her sister is losing it too. Thankfully the VetER is really close to my house and they're really really good. So unfortunately her platelets are low. both are low. RBC is @35% which for greys is exceptionally low.
Along with enlarge side of her heart (right side), She's got a tumor on her spleen.
For now, she's at home. Anyway I knew this was coming. I could see it, I could feel it. I'm hopeful she can wait until her dad gets here because he's currently traveling. He changed flights and should be here tomorrow.
I've contacted our service and let them know that next week is that time if she makes it that long.
Never want to miss a party.
This guy has a huge following. If he liked people, he could have modeled and paid for my grad school. But I just want him to be happy. He has severe anxiety. He’s really happy with all our love.

Oh no, this is heartbreaking news for your family. Hope your husband makes it home to spend time with her. I am so sorry!

He did make it home. She was so happy to see her dad. But last night solidified the decision. If she could whine or bark, she would have done so all night. She was suffering.
We have the vet come to the house today at 4pm. I can't and won't wait another day.

I'm so sorry. I know how hard this can be. But you know that the time has come and are making the right decision for her.

As hard as it is for you right now, you know that you are doing the kindest thing for your fur baby. We have gone through this several times and it never gets easier. I’m so sorry that you have to go through this , but it’s the price we finally pay for all the love they give us over the years.

I just wish I could be there to hug you to convey so much more than words. All the things.
Sweet girl, may she run with the wind forever.
As sad as this is, you are doing the right thing by her, for her. We have been through this as well. You will miss her, no doubt, but you are doing the most loving gesture that you can do to stop her suffering, in the most comforting environment she knows: home with her family with her.
I am so sorry - big tight hugs.

I have a very similar story about my butterscotch tabby girl. I found her on my property, yelling and screaming much louder than one would expect from a 5 week old kitten. Mommy was nowhere around, so I fed her milk with an eye dropper.
Later, I found the mother cat dead - she had been attacked and partially eaten by a ? So the kitten has become our house cat.
Even though I saved her, she prefers my hubby probably because I’m the one who had to administer eye drops several time a day when she was a young kitten.
She’s 3 years old now, and great fun. But I DO wish she was a bit more affectionate with me.

I'm thinking of you and I'm very sorry to hear your news. I'm sure you know that you're doing the right thing, but that never makes it easier. It's so heartbreaking to lose our furry family members. They are such a wonderful part of our lives.

Her passing was so peaceful and it was absolutely her time. Last night showed me it was her time because she suffered so so much. I couldn't comfort her even though I slept right next to her, even though I held her and carried her where she needed to go, it was too much. people say dogs can't cry but she cried.
Today we got her in the car and it was for the next 2 hours, just me and her, went for a ride. Just to different places with no destination. Def. went to the beach (she got out to pee but too unsteady for anything else) and then, we just slowly rode home and stopped different places. She rested in my (well her) car and she was just at peace. I was able to put the windows down and she just really enjoyed it all.
So when she got home, she was very relaxed. She was ready.
She knew. She was in her right mind until the end, but her body was failing. And I could do something about that...so absolutely no regrets for doing this now. My hope is that where she is now is pain free, and happy. That's what I would want for her.
She was my heart, and took a big chunk of it with her.
And because this is me, let me tell you she went through a whole freaking pound of BoarsHead turkey dammit! She just dived right in. I guess she figured, "let me get some of this before I go"
I love her not only because of how beautiful she was but she showed me so much about life and how to live. I'm thankful to her for that.
