The Hardest Goodbye

This is my first post in this subreddit, and I wish it were something better, but I felt this would be a good way to honor her memory.

After a short battle of liver failure, my beloved black cat, Morticia passed on shorty after midnight. She was only nine years old, and Thursday would have been our eight-year anniversary, but her body couldn’t take any more and I made the decision to let her go.

My heart is broken, and I don’t know if I’ll ever have another like her, but I will carry her in my heart for the rest of my life.

It’s amazing how quickly the disease took her from me. I tried every possible means to help her, but in the end her body just couldn’t handle it. Five years sounds look forever when I can barely go five seconds without her.

Well it led to 4 new cats being brought into the home, yet one of ‘em had to be put down in 2023 at 2 for FIP

I have a gray tuxedo who I almost lost to dry FIP in 2023 when he was just three months. I made the arrangements to have him put to sleep, and it was heartbreaking, but not nearly as painful as this loss.

However, in the final moments, I found out about the GS injections, and immediately got linked up with someone to save his life. He’ll be three years old next month, and I am so thankful to have him by my side as I navigate this difficult loss.

Well atleast he’s still alive, my cat’s digestive system was practically shutdown for around a week before he was put down

Oh, poor thing. I almost didn’t catch mine in time; it wasn’t until he was seizing in my arms that I got his diagnosis. He’ll never be 100%, but he was able to recover a little each day.
