I hate to have to say this so early in the comments and sorry I have to run off to bed right after posting my couple of comments because I have to go to bed soon, but I have sad news. Some of you have been following the story of my Lovebug. Well, Lovebug died a little over 2 hours ago. just before 10:30 Saturday night. I had a bad feeling yesterday morning because when I got up, I found her not in her cat bed like she normally would be, but on the floor instead – like she needed a cooler spot. Something told me not to even bother her with her pill, but I did dish up some canned cat food for her, though I was certain she wasn’t going to eat it. She didn’t. I put her back in her bed with her food dish. Still, I decided I would go to work for some overtime hours on my day off. Overtime pay is good and I really need the money. So I worked from 2:00 in the afternoon until about 7:45. I didn’t want to work late because I have an early shift today and I need to get up early. Anyway, after work and doing a little shopping, I got home at around 8:30. When I got home, she was on the floor again. She actually looked dead and I had to check her to see if she was alive. She was. So I put her back in her bed and I carried her, bed and all, into the living room so I could have her close to me as I watched TV. I was feeling sure this was going to be the end. Then, just before 10:30, she started having spasms and she was drooling a lot. Then suddenly, there was nothing. I checked for a heartbeat and there was none. She was gone.
Though my heart is broken, I can take comfort knowing she is free of suffering. RIP, my sweet little Lovebug. And I’m glad I was there for her, petting her as she took her last breath. I’m going to miss that little girl an awful lot.
