Lynn and Bob,
I am so very very sorry for your loss. Even though
you know it is probably coming, there is still a part
of you that hopes for the impossible.
I told you a bit about Smokey. The morning he died,
he woke me up as usual nuzling my ear and purring. I
will never forget that, ever. We too, had just had
the aspiration done, but he wasn't eating and it was
so hard for him to breathe at times. We went through
the same thing at the vet. It seemed the more we did
the aspirations, the quicker the fluid came back.
After he died, the vet looked into his chest. One
lung was collapsed, and he was full of tumors. He had
to have been unconfortable, and it was time.
Cats are such noble and unselfish beings. You never
really know how sick they are until they have no more
to give. Console yourself with the fact that Boo was
really happy until just before the end, and he knew
true love and devotion from you both. Not many cats
on this planet can claim that.
God bless you both, and don't worry about BooBoo. He
is fine, happy and healthy, and waiting for you.
