Tuesday morning Cat Cat (her formal name from the humane society was Princess but we ended up calling her Cat Cat or her nickname Mama) passed away. It was so unexpected and so traumatic. I cannot stop crying. I woke up at 3 am on Tuesday and she was not well and by the time I got her to the ER it was too late she had been in back to back seizures for too long and the best thing was to put her to sleep. 

I feel an immense sense of guilt. And I just can't believe that she's gone. They asked if I wanted to go in there with her and I did because I couldn't bear the thought of her being alone when she passed. She was such a good cat. We bonded instantly when we met at the humane society. She fit in perfectly with our family. And she wasn't that old - only 7 if her birthdate is correct. We only had her just about a year and a half - which again makes me so sad that we didn't have that much time with her. 

There was one point in the night before I took her into the ER where she seemed to be feeling a bit better (before she started seizing) and she seemed like herself for a few minutes and I sat with her and we just looked at each other. I feel like maybe that was her way of saying goodbye? 

I keep going over the events of the night and I keep thinking maybe I should have done this or that. Maybe I shouldn't have let them put her to sleep so quickly. Maybe I should have let them try to save her. Although, I know in my heart it was best- her breathing wasn't good and her heartbeat was erratic. 

I just am so distraught over this. I went into the ER with our beloved cat and walked out with her empty carrier and a clay paw print. 

I just wish I had one more day with her.

I'm very sorry for your sudden loss. It's good that you stayed with her. It must have made her crossing easier. RIP, Cat Cat.
