My Grandma Lost Her Second Cat in 2 Weeks!

We're not sure if Snowball and Buttons were littermates. My grandma and I got them as shelter kitties when her 16 year old cat finally passed away. Not 2 weeks ago, Snowy and Buttons were chasing each other down the hall and Snowy just collapsed on the floor. My grandma thinks she might have just had a heart attack (she wasn't much over 2 years old). She tried to massage her heart and maybe bring her back.

Since then, Buttons became extremely depressed. She wouldn't eat or drink a whole lot. My grandma tried to comfort her but I found out today she just died. We guess she was just so depressed she lost the will to live anymore. My grandma is a bit sad at having to bury two cats in two weeks, but deep down I can imagine them chasing each other across the bridge!!

Just had to get that off my chest!

How upsetting for your Grandma!

RIP Snowball and Buttons! and some for your Grandma

Godspeed over RB, Snowy and Buttons Condolences to your Grandma - that is so sad Maybe the kitties had something wrong that was due to their unknown history. I hope that your grandma finds the healing and comfort in know that she was such a blessing to her cats, that they crossed knowing that what it was to be loved, to have names and a real family to miss them.

This is so sad for the poor babies and your Grandma

Have fun over the bridge Snowball and Buttons

Aww thanks you guys. I will be sure to let her know that there's lots more vibes than those of us that knew her furkids personally!

The good news is, she's planning to adopt a shelter cat in the spring so yet another one will know what it's like to be totally spoiled rotten - just one this time though, she couldn't go through losing two so close together again!

She lives by herself so having a cat to pamper and care for is good for her (and doubly good for the cat!)

I'm so sorry for your Grandmothers loss, how sad. Rest in Peace Snowball and Buttons.

Oh my goodness! That is so sad. They must have been so close for one to pine away that much

I guess they are at least together again
