My beloved cat in dieing.......

Secret22 · Jan 20, 2006

This can't be happenign, my beloved cat of 9 yrs is going. He is old and is a skeleton. He won't eat and is fading away so I had to make the hardest decision of my life and get him put down.

I dedicate this to Murphy.

I remember when you were a little kitten, you would jump onto my high chair and share my dinner wth me when Mum wasnt looking. You would snuggle into my lap when I was watching t.v. Every night you wuold be in my bed and you would keep me warm and safe from bad men and bad dreams.

You brought everyone in this family so much pleasure and until today I have never seen Dad have tears in his eyes when I had to make the hardest decision of my life. I hope you understand that I made it for you Murphy, I was trying not to be selfish think of myself, I love you very much my baby and I will never ever forget you, see you up there soon my sweety.

Love You always and forever.

Mummy.

Please God look after my special boy, make sure he knows I love him and am thinking of him. I will never forget him, he deserves to go peacefully!!

He is burried beside some big flowers in my Mums garden under her window. Yesterday when Dad got home from the vet I was anxious to look in the car and see him standind up meoing at me but all I saw was an empty cat cage and a cardboard box. I was heartbroken, I was expeckting a miracle - the vet to have found a sore pimple thing on his gums that was stopping him from eating, I shouldn't of got my hopes up, it was horrible, Dad just said "His kidneys were mucked up, there was nothing they could do" I had to go spend some time with Secret in the back paddock while I cried my hearts out and he reasurred me.

To make it worse we had to go out for dinner at a friends and they had a new little healthy and fat little kitten.

It was to much to bear.

Many years ago I had to make that awful decision about my wonderful cat Stubby. He was 21 years old, and I had had him for 14 years. He was an alley cat that was looking for a retirement home, and he schmoozed his way into my house and heart.

He went through so much with me. When I was pregnant with my son, he would lay against my belly, and purr very loudly, I would feel the baby inside move towards the vibration. When Kyle was born, I knew that he and Stubby recognized each other.

He taught Kyle how to treat cats. Kyle's first word wasn't "Momma" it was "Meorwwww!

Kyle was in 2nd grade when we had to put Stubby down. He was sick and was not coming out of it. He had decided that 21 years was long enough to be on this earth. I took Kyle out of school when it was time to go to the vet...I said we had a family emergency, a family member was dying!

I feel your pain, all of these years later. I find peace when I remember what it was like when Stubby was young and strong. I remember his nobility, and playfulness. I remember how protective of our home he was, and how gentle he was with Kyle.

He and your Murphy are probably comparing notes about raising a family of humans right now...laughing at our awkwardness on two feet, when everyone knows that 4 do better! Stubby's job is to probably help greet all those who come to enter the Pearly gates...insisting on a pet before they go in...he'll have Murphy's help with that now!
