Hello .. I have not been here for awhile but I know this is a wonderful site with many cat lovers who are very well informed.
Two weeks ago ,today , I had to put my dear cat Buzz down . He was one month shy of 16 years old.
He was losing weight but he was always hungry !! He also stopped using the litter box. He had blood work done and I was told he had the start of kidney failure and also I.B. D. I had litter boxes everywhere but he would not use them. Sometimes his stool was explosive and he also took to peeing on my throw rugs . Can a cat become senile????
Or does anyone know why he would not use his box??? I know it is too late for any answers but I was just wondering if there was a reason .......
Besides his "accidents" ,he was looking and acting so miserable so I knew I did the right thing but it is still so hard for me to get over that day !! You see, I opted to see him "after" and when they brought him into the room ,all wrapped up in a towel, his eyes were wide open !! Does that always happen or did the vet just forget to close his eyes??? I broke down but I managed to go over and kiss his little head and say goodbye !!!
He now joins his kitty sisters.. Cookie
who died on her own at almost 19 years old and Toonces
who suffered from total kidney failure..she was 13 years old AND her doggy brother Smokey
who lived till he was 15.
R.I.P. my dear pets..I will always love you guys
as you made my life so joyful !!!! I look forward to the day when we will meet again !!
