It saddens me to write that yesterday 24th May '08...
Kissy our beautiful Burmese cat passed away.
She was 15 yrs. old and although we only had her for 10 yrs. she shared her love so gently and quietly.
She was only really sick for about 4 days, apparently she was suffering from renal failure, became extremely weak,was in and out of consciousness. We took her to the Vet, he administered three separate injections and told us if there was no improvement within 48 hrs,the kindess gesture would be to put her to sleep.
In the next 40hrs. she went downhill really quickly,it gave us all time to say goodbye and give her comfort like she always gave to us all so unconditionally.So on Saturday morning we went to the Vet and stayed with her,our son stroking her head and me holding her paw,as the Vet did what seemed to be the only humane thing to do. My husband being the brave one for both of us. It didn't take long, she looked so peaceful. We brought her home, the boys dug a grave for her, we placed her in a wooden box with her pillow case that she normally slept on, we held a little service for her.
This all sounds a little morbid, but actually it was a beautiful event, our three remaining cats sense that she is gone and have been extremely loving in their gestures as cats are.
I felt it would have been wonderful if perhaps she had died without any human help,however it became evident that she would have suffered badly.She loved us all so much and if she had a choice I'm sure she'd rather have stayed. She will be sadly missed.
This is the difference between humans and animals, we do have choice, sometimes it's hard to either make a decision or for that matter trust that it's the right one, trust is so important, trust in yourself in the now moment.
In Love and Light .
