My Previous loss threads. It's been a rough last year and this one is not shaping up to be better.
Farewell My Friend...
Another Story To Add...
This morning we had to put Sox to sleep. He was between 3 and 4 years old and a rescue cat who showed up as a tiny kitten with dirty feet in our back porch. He was very friendly and talkative and loved to get on me at night and lay on my chest and try to smother me while I gave him luvs.
He had sudden paralysis of both of his back legs. The vet thought they might be fractures, but x-rays turned up nothing and they diagnosed Saddle Thrombus. Everything seemed to fit with the symptoms.
He was a good cat and I will miss him. He was unhappy and in a bit of pain and a very active cat, I couldn't imagine trying to put him through a hospital stay and recovery where he may never actually recover, so we chose to let him go.
He can be with Morpheus now...he was Morpheus' cat...he was always looking for affection from him and he changed after Morpheus passed away. He hung out downstairs a lot less.
But he was still playful...he was also one of our sprayers, so I won't miss his bad habit *Chuckles*. He was fun and I'll miss his luvs back.
He was a black cat with a white tuft on his chest and all 4 feet were white.
Here are a few pictures (Luna is the other cat in the pic, she is about his age and they were rescued relatively close together).
Anyway...I hope he finds Morpheus to help him along. I feel so bad, he was so young...but I suppose he might not have lived as long as he did if we hadn't rescued him. Still, he was my buddy and my heartaches.
thanks for reading and remembering. He too, won't be forgotten.
