My beautiful boy has died

Got a call from a local vet to say my beautiful Watson had been brought in dead.

He had visited a neighbour, as was his usual, and passed away in his house. The neighbour very kindly brought him to the vet and they checked his microchip and rang me.

It was peaceful, and there were no signs of trauma or poisoning. Likely just his wee heart.

I'm on my way to the vet now from work. Trying to hold back tears on the train. He was only 7. My poor beautiful boy 😢

I’m so so sorry, my boy went to sleep on Saturday, blood clot totally unexpected, he was 15 though but still I miss him. Can’t believe I won’t ever see him again Flowers big hugs xx

Sending you hugs OP. It hurts like hell, but take comfort in the fact that he had a good life, was loved, and knew he was loved.

I’m so sorry

Harebellmeadow · 14/11/2018 13:23

I am so sorry for you losing him. It sounds like he was well loved and had a lovely life, and a quick end without pain or sadness. There was nothing you could have done differently and he loved you very much. 💐

FedUpWithBriiiiiick · 14/11/2018 13:50

Thank you all for your kind thoughts, and I'm so sorry for your loss too @Loopy9

Vet thinks it may have been a clot too. And that he was probably older than we thought.

Thanks to all those who've lost a precious pet

So sorry to hear about your lovely boy. I know it's so hard at the moment, but try and hold on the fact that in the time he had you'd given him a loving home and up until the end he'd been out enjoying himself.

Vinorosso74 · 14/11/2018 18:02

I'm so sorry Flowers What a horrible shock for you.

FrankieChips · 14/11/2018 18:07

I’m so sorry. I’m sure Winston had the best ever 7 years with you xxx

FrankieChips · 14/11/2018 18:07

Watson sorry ❤️

catlovingdoctor · 14/11/2018 18:09

I’m so very sorry. I’m sure your lovely kitty had a wonderful life and knew how much he was loved. Xx

FedUpWithBriiiiiick · 14/11/2018 18:20

Don't worry @FrankieChips 😊 you actually made me smile because MIL always called him Winston by accident.

He was a rescue cat, we got him 4.5 years ago and he was in a sorry state - rotting teeth, only just neutered, gummy eyes. He was a bit thick bless him, couldn't jump up at all. But so loving and gentle. He was spoilt rotten by us, best of everything. I'm grateful he lived his last in comfort.

Oh what a beautiful boy.

Well done for giving him a lovely life.

It sounds like it happened suddenly so hopefully he didn't suffer.

DowntonCrabby · 14/11/2018 19:05

What a gorgeous boy. I’m so sorry Flowers

SoupDragon · 14/11/2018 20:25

My rescue cat disappeared overnight and turned up in someone's garden in similar circumstances. I consoled myself that he'd gone peacefully doing something he loved (mousing). Still sad and a shock but a small comfort.

Watson was gorgeous.

DramaAlpaca · 14/11/2018 20:28

What a terrible shock. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a very handsome boy & it sounds like he had a wonderful life with you.

Moominfan · 14/11/2018 20:31

FedUpWithBriiiiiick · 14/11/2018 20:43

Sorry for your loss too @SoupDragon. I've been lurking on your kitten thread, I hope they bring you so much joy!
