Tedi - You had a long life and fought to the end

I have had Tedi since middle school and he was less than a month short of his 17th birthday. He battled heart failure for 3 years and kidney failure for 2, but with the medications starting to build up from 2 a day to 6 or 7, I just could not do that to you and you also were feeling miserable at that point. You were such a shameless begger, but you were also very loving and just fun to be around. As you started to have more problems breathing and walking, I could not see you suffer to the point you could no longer get up and I promised myself I would not let you get to that point. I did everything I could to slow down your disease, but I could no longer control it. So I did what I felt was best because within the last week you had gone downhill so fast that I would rather let you go to sleep than risk suffering a heart attack. It was such a hard decision to make, but I did not want you to suffer more than you already were.

I will always miss you and you were such a sweet, patient cat when it came to medications and fluids. You truly were a fighter and now it is your time to rest in peace. You were my first cat from beginning to end and I will never forget you. Maybe you are now with my mom who truly loved you.



Here is one of him and my mom together.

Oh Sabrina, my heart just broke when I saw this. I will say a prayer for sweet Tedi's little soul, and a prayer for you to find peace in this time of saddness.

I tried for so long, but his heart was no longer functioning enough and the fluid was building up. His kidneys were fine! He never would have made it as far without your help and my vet now offers that as treatment for kidney failure.

I know he isn't, but I was struggling all day long whether or not to take him. He would get really bad, and then have a good day. So it was hard.

I firmly believe that when our kitties go, they will find the humans they loved in life.

I believe Tedi is with your mom and all is well there.

You were a wonderful fur mom to take such care of your beautiful little friend.

God bless Tedi. No pain just light and love and happiness he knows now. Hugs to you. God bless.

I do wonder about that and hope he has found her.

No matter how old they are, it is never enough time. I am sorry for your loss.

He is probably cuddled up with your Mom right now.

Sabrina, I am SO sorry sweetie! It's a tough decision because you love him so much, but that's also why you did the best thing for him, not for you, sweetie.

That picture of him with your mom is just precious beyond words. I am SURE he's found her, and is snuggled into her shoulder, smiling that gigantic smile.

Tedi
