this is for my cat lucky...she was going to be 15 in march...she died sept 16 at 9:35 pm...she had been losing weight for about 2 months, but seemed ok otherwise...she ate, and every morning, she came into the kitchen when she heard me in there so i could give her a dish of milk...people say it's not good for them so i only gave her about a tablespoon every time...she'd meow and meow until i gave her her milk...she ran over every time i opened a can of cat food...she was using the restroom normally...everything was fine...then i noticed her nose was getting pale, and with the weight loss, i decided to take her in...the doctor did blood tests and said her kidney and liver levels were not where they should be, so maybe there was a tumor somewhere, so we did a chest x-ray, and that came back ok...the next thing to do , the doctor said, was to get a sonogram of her abdomen, which would be at least $300...and i didn't have the money...so they gave her some med. and then, the following week she died...in the end, she could not really walk anymore, she'd fall to the side...she wasn't very active, but she never complained...she was quiet...unless of course, i had a can of food for her...on the last day, she didn't want to eat, and that night, she tried to walk to the bathroom but got about 5 ft. and laid down and peed right there...within 40 min, she was gone...i held her as she took her last breaths...and then my family all said goodbye and i took her to the ER...one other thing, she was eating litter, and i don't know why...she never did that before...and i think she only ate the clean litter because once when i changed it, i watched to see if she'd go to the bathroom...but instead, she came in and started eating the litter...i tried 'yesterday's news' litter, but she didn't like to use that, so i had to use the regular litter...we had her cremated, and i brought her back home...i miss her so much...i have 2 other cats...one is my mothers, and the other one is lucky's neice...they grew up together, and she misses her...she's 13...i hope she stays with me for a long time more... rebecca

I am so sorry for your loss. I just lost my Hoggie yesterday and feel your pain. I have my other cat Bells but she misses her brother and keeps looking for him. I know your other cats will be getting a lot of extra loving over the next few months

It is so sad that you have lost your Lucky kitty. It is so difficult when the vets can't really figure out what is going on. I'm sorry she is gone.

Rest in peace, Lucky girl. You are truly missed.

Welcome to TCS (TheCatSite), Rebecca. I hope you will stay and post about your other kitties.
