I drove home to my parents' place today to take care of my mom after her surgery. When I got here, no one was home and it turns out my mom was in the ER because of some nausea she's been having. She said they'd be back soon. I made dinner and cuddled on the couch with Rudy (Bowser didn't come back with me this time because he has an eye infection). I couldn't find Abby but she hides a lot so I didn't think much of it. I get a call a few hours later from my mom saying they're still in the waiting room and will be there all night, but there was something she wanted to tell me. My baby girl Abby died on Tuesday. My mom wanted to tell me in person but that didn't end up happening. I'm angry she didn't tell me when it happened, but I know I wouldn't have been able to go to class or anything and she wanted to be with me when she told me.
I've been crying nonstop the past hour. All I want right now is to hold her. She was my baby girl. I got her when I was 9 years old and she never left my side. She followed me everywhere, and I was the only one who could pick her up or hold her in my lap. She hadn't been eating much lately but she's always been a picky eater and we didn't think too much of it and were planning a vet visit. Turns out she had a tumor on her spine. I can't even think right now.

I'm just going to dump all of the pictures I have of her on here. I need a place to put all of them anyways. She was so gorgeous.









This is the last picture I have of her, taken just a couple weeks ago. You can tell she's looking sick and skinnier. Still pretty though.

Your girl was beautiful!
I am so, so sorry for your loss


I had to say goodbye to my beloved Velvet back in June (She was in end-stage CRF). I had had her since childhood, so I definitely understand how those beloved kitties we grow up with can leave such a huge pawprint on our hearts.

She was a gorgeous girl.


We lost a beloved dog to a spinal cord tumor last year....they are nasty, vile and evil things that I would never wish on another animal. I'm glad your family let her go peacefully, it was truly the right decision.

I'm so sorry about Abby. She was such a beautiful little girl. She's at peace now at Rainbow Bridge, romping with all of our Rainbow Angels.

Please know that we all understand how you are feeling and our hearts are with you.

I'm so sorry.
All I can do is imagine the pain you must be feeling. It must be terrible to be told something like that, especially not being able to be there when she passed.
Remember she's free of pain now. Abby was truly a gorgeous cat. RIP

I'm so SO sorry! I know you would have to find out a different way... but I do understand your mother's intention.


Your baby was beautiful, and she lived a long and wonderful life. I know she's sending you lots of love and comfort from over the bridge!

Rest in peace, sweet Abby.
