Lost my girl tonight

Don’t even know why I’m posting but I know all you moggy lovers will understand. My lovely Katy was diagnosed with diabetes in June. Been on insulin and had a visit to the vets on Monday this week where they said she was doing well, put on weight etc.

i went to bed last night and got woken up by her doing a terrible meow. Took her to the vets where they tested her blood etc. he thought she’d got some blood clots in her brain like a stroke I guess.

Had her put to sleep as I knew it was the kindest thing to do. Went with my eldest, and his girlfriend who Katy basically dumped me for during lockdown, followed her around etc.
can’t believe it am I’m so sad . Until Rainbow bridge my furry friend ☹️

So sorry for your loss. When I lost my old boy I was heartbroken, I'm sure he was my soul mate. It will get easier, I promise. Sending lots of hugs xxx

I am so sorry for you loss. Please be comforted knowing you took such good care of her.

Thank you Wowzers. She was 16, a good age for a cat, the softest nature ever. I love that quote, it’s so true isn’t it. A bit shocked I guess but I knew with her diabetes she was ill. Just horrible isn’t it. ☹️

Ah I'm so sorry. Sending hugs. I've lost several fur babies over the years so I know how it feels. I'm sure she had a fabulous life with you and that's the thing to hang on to. It gets easier. Would you consider getting a rescue cat or kitten. We got a rescue cat very soon after we lost our boy and it mended my daughter's heart ♥️

Thank you all ☹️ I have two other cats as I’m going to become an old cat lady I think !

just a shock as she was ok yesterday. She was 16 and as we took her to the vets I told my son I didn’t want her to suffer . It’s the kindest thing you can do for a pet . Just hurts your heart doesn’t it . Only peeps with pets understand xx

@FlibbertyGibbitt

I can completely understand my dear old cat has diabetes and suddenly went down hill last week and crossed the rainbow bridge

They leave paw prints across our hearts but it sounds like she has a lovely and loved life

She did , was a proper princess ! When she was diagnosed I asked how long diabetic cats live for and they said a year . Every day since I’ve made every day count as I knew I may lose her and she’s been loved just like yours and all our beautiful cats . 🙂 Broke my heart for my eldest 6”2 in 30 year old and his girlfriend crying their eyes out . RIP Katy
