We brought my BIL and SIL’s 13 year old cat home with us last night to keep while they were out of state for Christmas and she passed sometime in the last couple of hours. She had taken a turn for the worse in the past few days but they couldn’t delay their trip (BIL had already left with the kids last week and SIL had to catch her flight this morning) so we took her to give her comfort and love in her last time on Earth. She was so tired and uncomfortable last night. My heart as broken. We were going to have the vet come today to gently put her to sleep but she sadly did not make it long enough.
I held her in my lap at 2am for 30 minutes and pet her and loved on her. It was the first time she didn’t seem restless or in pain and she rested her head on my leg and her labored breathing slowed a little bit for the first time all night. I told her it was okay to go to sleep. I hope she didn’t feel alone or scared when she passed. I hate that I didn’t go check on her sooner so that I could’ve been in there with her to help her cross over the rainbow bridge.
I’m just happy that she’s no longer suffering or in pain and can run and chase mice and bugs and eat grass again.
Rest In Peace, Roxy. You were so loved and lived a good long life.
