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.
Not only beautiful but distinguishingly named...and sick of the shenanigans
You gave her a beautiful end to her life, a lovely last day. Your post brought tears to my eyes.
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.
Oh @MMtwo, She is beautiful!!! How could anyone resist that sweet little face? I’m guessing it took all of 3 minutes before she found her place in your heart? I’m so very happy for you!
With all that is happening in this country and the world it would be nice to hear others opinions, even if we don‘t always agree on everything.
Most of us have been on here long enough to know each other‘s hot button topics and know where they are coming from or at least want to try to understand where they are coming from. Hearing other’s opinions help us grow. So what if we don’t completely agree. We don’t all have to agree on everything in order to care about someone and how they are feeling. Heck most of us here have all tried to helped each other thru kindness when one of us is dealing with difficult things. I know first hand that kind words have been sent my way here by people who don’t share my every view. It was one of the wonderful things about this site.
Thank you. I'm sitting here alone and just trying to not cry so much. (Gigi is with her dad, as we're keeping her on her routine)
Tomorrow is 7 days. Sometimes I wish I hadn't stopped drinking (it wouldn't help me much but might help numb the pain I feel)
