Mom hasn't submitted an entry for awhile because she was afraid to jinx me, so she didn't brag about how well I had been doing.

It all came to an end though tonight.

It was discovered @ an ER visit for constipation that I was in renal failure. A suspicious mass had also formed on my jaw rather rapidly and didn't show signs of being infectious. After spending the night @ the ER(I didn't seem a whole lot better) and a visit to my vet, my bloodwork showed that my kidneys were in bad shape and would be difficult to try and level out w/out compromising my heart. The doc gave me less than 50% chance of survival. Add possible cancer to the mix and my prognosis was considered "terminal". My pawrents had to once again in less than 5 months make the painful decision to let another furbaby go to the bridge.

I'm especially worried for my Meowmy because her Daddy died less than a month ago. I am the 3rd person she loved in 5 months to leave her.

I am greatful to my pawrents for rescuing me that cold, windy November night 13 years ago from that wretched hole in the wall in their laundry room of their apartment. Instead of being disgusted by my flea and tick infested body, they removed 5 or 6 fully engorged ticks and got rid of my fleas. Until I got to the vet to get checked before being exposed to their other cats, Meowmy would sit with me in her car out of the cold and pet me while we listened to calming classical music. She would let me sleep on her nice warm lap. I never forgot what my pawrents did for me and I showed them how greatful I was by being the sweetest and loving cat I could be. I will miss them very much.

If anyone can give me a set of pretty wings so I can really be Esmeralda the Gypsy Angel, I would like that very much.

Purrs!

I'm so sorry you had to leave, and that your mom's heartache of loss continues, what a rough year.
I requested wings for you in the A Team group, you will hear from someone soon.

purrs,

My mommy asked me to write for her as her eyes are wet with tears. Mommy feels your mommy's pain so much...she lost her Murder RIP in between the deaths of her mommy and her husband, over a period of 45 days. Poor mommys heart was broken. What my mommy wants me to say to your mommy, for her, is that ...the sun does shine and the days go on and that as long as the ones you love are remembered they are never truly gone. We will keep you and yours in our purrs and prayers! God Bless and silent purrs...Mayhem, Murder RIP and our mommy Mary

Thank you so much for all of your support. These past few months have been devastating.

Ez had stayed in our bedroom since June to reduce her stress levels and keep her away from Tom who would bully her. It feels so empty in there now and to see her pink cube abandoned and empty really hurts. She was so sweet, unassuming and gentle. She was a little girl(5 lbs.) but she had a big heart. We will miss her.

Thank you again for everything.

I'm so so sorry. I too have experienced loss in multiples many times. 3 pets in 8 months. 3 family members in 2 years. I wish I could make the pain go away for you. Know that Esmerelda is with you and she is safe. You will feel her around you.
