Goodbye Sweet Mimi (RB)
Hi Guys,
I haven't posted here in along time, but wanted to let the old timers know I lost my sweet tortie, Mimi, today. She would have been 18 in July. She was doing remarkably well despite having CRF and pretty bad arthritis in her back hips. This morning when I checked on her, she couldn't walk - had peed on herself and was pretty out of it. I think she may have had a stroke. I tried to get a vet to come to the house, but no one had any time on their schedules, so I took her in to the local vet and said goodbye. Before she passed, she gave me some purrs and reached out her creamy white paw, just as she had done through the cage bars at the Humans Society 17 years ago. She was an awesome kitty - my first pet while living on my own - and hopefully now is a kitten again, playing with Peewee on the RB. Goodbye Sweet Girl - I love you! -L. (Lyn) |

I can relate to how difficult the process is but please know you are not alone. |

I'm so sorry, Lyn. that is a long time to love a cat. She could not have had a better home or a better life, I have no doubt. I know this is heartbreaking, and I know you will always miss her. She was lucky to have you. |

Lyn,
I am so sorry to hear about Mimi. It is never easy losing a furbaby. I share your tears. Sue "-L." wrote in message ...

The fact that she reached out her paw was enough to rip your heart out. She sounded like a very sweet cat. Take care, Rhonda |

Forever youthful, frolicking until she sees you again. -- -Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding. No I am not. |

On May 15, 6:40 pm,
Lyn, I know you've been dreading this. I'm so sorry. I remember when I had to say goodbye to my first cat that I had living on my own - Marley. He was with me through so much of my life and it was really painful to say goodbye. Without Pee and Mimi you don't have any cats now do you? I have 2 mice now along with my 4 cats. Marley and Shadow will always be in my heart no matter how many pets I have after them. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. hugs Thanks, guys. The fact that she was so bad off made it easier, and I'm glad this was an "episode" instead of a long, drawn-out illness where she really suffered. The pet sitter remarked last week at how wonderful she was doing, in fact. Her poor little body just gave out. Yeah, I am kittiless now. It seems so weird to even write that. DH is allergic, so unless we move to an area where I can have outdoor kitties safely, I don't think we will be getting another. We're down to one doggie now (along with one snake and the turtle), and she's going to be pretty lonely. There may be a puppy in our future, but not until J is in school full-time, for sure. Again, thanks for your kinds words. -L. |
