Tony, who I had for only two months, had to be euthanized about two hours ago.
He and my other cat, Rexy (who is still with me), were both still scared of me and Tony was very good at hiding and staying quiet. I had to vacuum in my closet and Tony shot past me. That was the last I heard or saw of him until tonight.
He had gotten behind and under the clothes washer. I’ve no idea how long he was under there. I heard a single cry and I tilted the washer to the floor and he was there, still alive and crying occasionally. I got him out from there and took him to the nearest emergency vet clinic. I was still filling out the top of the form when they came out and told me that he was in critical condition, treatment would be over $1,000. They could not guarantee recovery or no pain. So, I had him put to sleep.
When I get up, I’m getting shelving, a two-by-four, something to put over the space behind the washer and dryer. Once it’s safe, I may get another cat.
Rexy is doing fine, though I don’t know if he’s realized his friend is missing yet or not. I am sick with guilt that this happened.
God bless all of you and please hug your fur babies for me.
