This is a very sad day for me. One of my kitties died this morning. I don’t know what caused his sudden death. Ike had lost weight very suddenly and rapidly. I had to wait until payday to have the money to take him to the vet. Payday was on Thursday, so I wanted to take him to the vet for blood work on my next day off, which is Monday. I expected it to be something simple like hyperthyroidism. But at around 1:00 last night, I saw Ike in the upstairs hall and he meowed at me. It was a weak, sad meow which told me as clearly as if he said it in words ’ “my gosh, he’s going to die!” I hugged him a while and I put him on my bed. I didn’t expect him to die as fast or a soon as he did. I was on the computer for a while after that and I checked on Ike at round 3:00. He was dead and rigor mortis had already set in. So he must have quietly died soon after he meowed at me. I’m completely devastated and I just don’t know how to cope with this. I feel like I let him down some way. Ike was only ten and a half years old. Such a fantastic cat! I’ve been through so many cat deaths over the years and I know I will suffer many more, but this is just so hard. I just can’t wrap my head around why this happened. How do I get through work today? Why oh why did Ike die?
I hate to dump my gloominess on all of you, but I kind of needed a release. I just wish there was a release from the pain of having lost one of my furbabies.
