Last Tuesday in the late afternoon I went to check on my sweet 18 year old girl, and found her laying in the hallway, not anywhere near her usual therapeutic bed. She was blind, had a significant hear murmur, high blood pressure and arthritis, and her kidneys were slowing down. I just knew something wasn't right.
When I checked her over, I found her back leg was broken.
My heart is broken. What caused her leg to break, I will never know. I do know she most definitely was not jumped on by my other cat or my dog, nor had she tried to jump, she hadn't in a couple years. The Vet. thinks she had more going on, perhaps a tumour or bone cancer.
The last couple years I have spent quite a bit of time taken the best care I could of her. We had a special bond, she trusted me, and because she was blind I found ways to communicate with her through singing, finger snapping and different sounds to direct her.
On Tuesday night she was forever released from all the pain and discomfort. I like to believe she has regained her sight, and her health, no broken leg, heart and kidneys healed, normal blood pressure. That she has met up with my other pets that have crossed the bridge and they are all playing together. I just had to let my sweet boy cat go 10 weeks before Midnight. Missing my girl, the most gentle spirited kitty I have ever had in my home. Always in my heart forever.
I know I have only been part of the site a very short time, and only had a couple post, as well as only a couple responds, I'm sure due to the question on meds I had.
Thank you for allowing me to share this with you.
