Requesting lounge vibes

[libodem]

Last night 20 something year old Toonsie Mooner Mow stated to have blood behind her right eye, seemed disoriented and weak. She yowled a couple of times today so we made an emergency trip to the vet. I made the decision to have her put down so she wouldn't suffer. My son went with me and we both cried our eyes out. We've had this kitty since he was 5. I'm very sad.

I have to teach a class tonight so I won't be around to respond to your replies right away but I'll check in, tonight after work.

Thanks fellow cat lovers.

1. My dear libodem...

Major vibes to you, sweetie!

Your kittie had a very good life, thanks to you...

You did the right thing, for sure...

20 years is very good innings!

I hope your great memories will sustain you in this time of sudden, unanticipated loss...

Safe passage to her...

:hug:

[libodem]

5. Thank you

For the very kind words, CP. I made it through my class tonight without crying.

[Call Me Wesley]

2. Safe passage to Toonsie Mooner Mow.

May she be free from suffering. Peace and comfort to you, libodem. :hug:

[libodem]

6. Thanks so much CMW

She came up to our house as a baby kitten and used to sleep by the frig because the motor blew warm air out of the grill.

3. Safe journey to the Otherworld, Toonsie Mooner Mow.

And peace and comfort to all who love her.

[libodem]

7. I think she'll be there

to greet me on the other side.

[AwakeAtLast]

4. Awww, so sorry

20 is a long time for a cat, but I know it's still hard.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[libodem]

8. The vet's chart had

1988 as her birthday but I'm not a 100% if she was really 22 so I'm saying 20. She looked good for her age.

9. Big hug for you.

[libodem]

16. Thanks

My big bed feels so empty today.

[SeattleGirl]

10. I'm so sorry, lib

It's so difficult to lose a furbaby, especially one you've had for such a long time.

:hug:

[libodem]

17. I know I did the right thing

but it's still really hard.

[LiberalEsto]

11. Blessings of healing to you and your son

I'm sure your Toonsie is in a good place now.

[libodem]

18. Thanks

My son has been really sweet. He's not very demonstrative but he have me a big hug when we got home yesterday, and he's been checking in with me quite often to see how I'm doing.

[dembotoz]

12. so sorry for you and your son

but you did the right thing.

[libodem]

20. I didn't want her to

just get worse and worse until there was nothing left. She was never a very big cat and she was down to 5 lbs when they weighed her. The bleeding behind her eye could have been high blood pressure or a tumor. I think it was a stroke.

[fizzgig]

13. rest well, toonsie girl

:hug: to you and your son, libodem, i'm so sorry for your loss.

[libodem]

21. Thanks, Fizz

I feel pretty low today. I took her blanket off my bed, threw out the cat box and took away the cat dishes from the bathroom. She didn't like the other cats so I kept her separated in my room, with me.
She was my special exclusive meow meow.

14. Lounge vibes coming your way

I'm sorry for your loss Lib. I hope the pain eases with time. :hug:

[libodem]

22. Thanks Notorious

Didn't you just suffer a recent loss of some kind, too? Thank you for your empathy when you have had things going on in your life. Reaching out can be healing.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

24. Reaching out in time of crisis

is healing and comes from the heart and soul because I can fully empathize with you and your loss. I'm truly sorry for your loss and sadness. :hug:

[libodem]

26. Thanks again!

It means a lot.

[Bertha Venation]

15. I'm very sorry, libodem.

:cry:

[libodem]

25. Thanks Bertha

I know you are a pet lover. I usually reply to threads about pet losses by suggesting that they might become a spirit animal companion. Well, it seems like a rather empty promise, now. You can't hold and pet that.

[Bertha Venation]

38. I know the emptiness.

As the hurt wanes, perhaps sweet memories can surface and stay strong. :hug:

[geardaddy]

19. Sorry to hear it libodem

RIP Toonsie Mooner Mow

[libodem]

27. Thanks

She was a such a perfect, dainty, little solid black kitty. Just the right amount of affection with out being demanding or overbearing. Tough little thing. She never did learn to sheath her sharp needle like claws when we'd play fight. I had to wear my black leather driving gloves to play with her.

[LisaM]

23. Oh I'm sorry

I'm glad you had so many years together.

[libodem]

29. The vet was impressed

She had one white whisker on her solid black body. She never got gray, she never got fat, she jumped up on my bed which is at least 3 and 1/2 feet off the ground until a few months ago when she started climbing up it like a tree by using the bedspread. I didn't even realize she'd gone blind until, my son took her into his room and she could find her way back to my room down the hall. She was a special person.

[ceile]

28. Very sorry.

:hug:

[libodem]

30. Thank you

I appreciate the solidarity.

[sarge43]

31. Don't have to be a cat lover to send condolences

Peaceful passage Toonsie

:hug: Lib. It's never easy saying goodbye to a loved one.

[libodem]

32. Gosh, thanks Sarge

I'll really miss her. She was always here for me.

[sarge43]

35. I know, Lib

I still miss a couple of parrots. They find a place in your heart and never really leave.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

33. Fellow cat lover checking in with a truckload of vibes...

:grouphug:

[libodem]

34. Thank you Amerigo

I'm pretty blue but knowing the lounge is with me makes it better.

[GoCubsGo]

36. I'm sorry!

The longer they are here, the harder it is when they go. But, the fact that our kitty was over 20 years old is a testament to the good care you gave her. Hugs.

Your son sounds like a great kid.

[bluesbassman]

37. Vibes going out libodem.

I've been there several times and I know your sorrow. She had a very long run, so be comforted in that knowledge and your lovely memories of her. :hug:

[Odin2005]

39. I'm sorry!

:hug:

[tabbycat31]

40. I'm so sorry for your loss

Toonsie is in a better place now and not suffering. Hugs being sent your way.
