Goodbye darling Cheddar.

Am absolutely blindsided. Thought she has pain from Arthritis and had a bad reaction to Gabapentin. Took her to the OOH vet early this morning as she couldn't stand. And they just thought she had severe pain. Then she started fitting. She was referred to Neurology at a specialist hospital. But was too unstable to transfer. She was minimally conscious by the time I got there. But perked up when she saw me.
She was the most amazing, affectionate, cuddly cat you could ever meet. Such a huge personality. I thought we had years left. It'll be weird to be able to eat unmolested and have a bath in peace.

So sorry to hear about Cheddar Flowers

Toddlerteaplease · 14/04/2024 18:15

@Compash, I suppose that's right about the vet. I also have absolutely no issue with the original diagnosis of Arthritis. As until she started fitting, that's what we thought it was.

Sorry to hear about Cheddar Flowers

Vinorosso74 · 14/04/2024 18:19

Oh no, I'm so sorry, that is very sad news. I'm not on the Litter Tray so often these days (not sure why) but Cheddar was always quite the celeb on here.
Goodbye Cheddar and look after yourself 💐

So sorry for your loss.

Snozzlemaid · 14/04/2024 18:46

Look at her beautiful little face. My heart is breaking for you.

So sorry to hear this, been following Cheddar for ages 😢

I'm so sorry for your loss.

So sorry to read about Cheddar. I enjoyed reading your threads. She was quite the character. Take good care of yourself and Pen.

TemporaryCatSlave · 14/04/2024 19:26

So sudden and so much harder for you to process. Cheddar was such a quirky, sweet character & your descriptions of her made us feel we knew her. Take care you yourself and little Penelope.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 14/04/2024 19:28

So sorry to read about the legend that was Cheddar. Difficult paws to fill, there.

Sending much love ❤️

Sending love and sympathy to you and Penelope, Cheddar was a wonderful cat. Flowers

CheeseSandwichRiskAssessment · 14/04/2024 19:41

So sorry to hear that!! I always enjoyed the pictures you posted of her Flowers

CatChant · 14/04/2024 19:42

I am so, so sorry about your lovely Cheddar. It’s such a shock when you think you have years left with them.

You gave her a wonderful life. Look after yourself.

Mumdiva99 · 14/04/2024 19:42

@Toddlerteaplease so so sorry to hear this news. I always enjoyed your tales of Chedder (and Magic). This must be a horrid shock. Look after yourself.

NCembarassed · 14/04/2024 19:45

So sorry to hear this. The last post of yours I read was that you'd taken Cheddar to the vet and they'd staged a miraculous recovery (typical puss).

I really feel for you. My cat is a total sod (we have the scars to prove it), but we love her to bits. Her name actually means 'beloved'. I'd be devastated to lose her.

Cheddar looks like a beautiful cat and I know you have lots of good memories. Best wishes.

Nicelynicelyjohnson · 14/04/2024 19:53

Very sorry to hear this.
I don't think I've ever been this sad about a cat I never met.

Your cat love is so sincere, you were lucky to have each other.

Mollyplop999 · 14/04/2024 19:54

So so sorry, sending you a big hug.

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss I think anyone in the litter tray knows about Cheddar x

CrushingOnRubies · 14/04/2024 19:56

I'm so sorry toddler. Sending hugs to you and Penelope

I've been a lurker on the adventures of cheddar and Penelope threads of a while and realise what a special cat Cheddar was
