I had two cats.
My black one Salem, was yowling earlier, I got up a few hours later, and found her on the kitchen floor dead.
I loved her so much.
The vet, based on how I described her as I found her, (she had blood coming from her hind end, said she died from a urinary infection.
:cry:

it's awful to lose a friend. Tootsie, DC, and Pooky send their condolences too (imagine kitties pawing the monitor). Hugs!

What a horrible thing! I am so sorry. I'm shedding tears for you, too. Give your other kitty lots of extra love because he/she will be looking for the lost kitty. Take care.

My dog had a urinary infection about a year ago. Luckily, I noticed that she was peeing blood, and I caught it in time.

That is one of my worst fears, too.. my condolences...
If it helps at all, think of it this way... when a cat passes on, on that same day it's re-incarnated, and another person who really needs that companionship will get him/her and will love them as much as you do....
I know it's hokey supersition, but maybe it helps..

losing a beloved pet is one of the toughest things any of us go through. I lost two kitties in the past year, and it was completely heart breaking. We all enjoyed your stories of Salem, and I believe you gave us some photographs as well. She was such as sweet girl, and everyone could easily see that you loved her very much. I'm certain that she was grateful for the care you gave her over the years and loved you much in return.
Grief is the greatest evidence that we have loved, and loved well. For now, you must grieve, but someday-maybe only months from now-you may welcome another "fur child" into your life and bless them with the love and care you gave Salem. I did, I have two kittens racing around the room as I type this. They are not replacements, and I still greatly miss my Peewee and Jasper, but they, too, are loving and beloved.
May you reunite with your beloved Salem on the rainbow bridge someday.Until then, Peace. :hugs:

46. A friend sent me this poem. It helps, a little. |
|
When we got home, it was almost dark, Our neighbor waited on the walk. "I'm sorry, I have bad news," he said, "Your cat, the gray-black one, is dead. I found him by the garage an hour ago." "Thank you," I said, "for letting us know."
We dug a hole in the flower bed, The lilac buhes overhead, Where this cat loved to lie in spring And roll in the dirt and eat the green Delicious first spring buds And laid him down and covered him up, Wrapped in a piece of tablecloth. Our good old cat laid in the earth.
We quickly turned and went inside The empty house and sat and cried Softly in the dark some tears For that familiar voicem that fur, That soft weight missing from our laps, That we had loved too well perhaps And mourned from weakness of the heart, A childish weakness to regard An animal whose life is brief With such affection and such grief
If this is foolish, so it be He was good company And we miss his gift Of cat affection while he lived The sweet nature Of that shy creature Who gave the pleasure of himself The memory of our cat, Ralph.

47. I once missed 3 days of work mourning for a deceased cat... |
|
Her name was Sammy. My wife and I adopted her during our first year of marriage and vowed to raise her like she was our child. We both really loved that little bundle of brindle-black beauty.
She passed away of a wasting infection that the vets couldn't find a way to treat within six months after the birth of our daughter.
It was as if she had served her purpose as our surrogate child and was making way for Alexis.
sad.
my heart goes out to you.
