Cali My Cat

[Ryewolf]

I had some bad news today regarding Cali she'd been off her food for a few days but I managed to get an appointment with the vet, anyway they took some blood and gave her a tablet to boost her appetite.

The vet said it would take about an hour or so to get the results back and that they would phone me at home. So they rang at around 2:30pm and gave me the bad news, Cali has a very advanced stage of kidney failure and that there was nothing else that they could do for her.

On Monday I have to take her back to the vets so that they can put her to sleep.

Sorry to hear that, Geoff.  I understand this is a common problem with older cats, although that doesn't really help you at the moment.

Thanks Jeff, I'm thinking of getting a large size canvas print of this (120x80cm) image.

So sorry to hear your news Rye … I remember you posting this pic …it a lovely portrait …something to keep as a treasured memory … She was rescued by you and has had a  kind and loving owner for the last seven to eight years  … we owe it to our pets to prevent unnecessary suffering  and hard as it is they seem to tell us when it’s time …  my thoughts  and sympathy  to you Rye .

Thanks everyone for your thoughts, it's been a tough few days, knowing that I can't do anything for her

I said farewell to Cali tonight for the last time, so long my little fluffy friend.

At least you did the right thing for her Geoff, sorry for your loss. Focus on the good memories and that lovely picture.

Sorry Geoff. I know the pain of this too from our previous pets. Always hard.

Paul.
