Goodbye, Angel - RIP 04.04.2013

Hi All,

Just so you know ahead of time, I may be putting Angel down tomorrow. He is just getting more and more uncomfortable. I'll wait to see how he is in the morning but I'm not expecting anything except that maybe he might not make it through the night.

For Jonathan, since you haven't seen him in a while, he stopped eating about 6 days ago, had a fever. He has taken two rounds of antibiotics with no help. His blood work was good except for just slight anemia. He now is so weak (living on just subcutaneous fluids that i administer every day) that I have to take him to the box to urinate, and today he defecated on himself because he couldn't get there. He is constantly nauseous with a lot of drooling, so he might be in liver failure. He is also having labored breathing now. He's 12 or 13 but has had some health problems over the years and had a rough start in life but at least he didn't have to live like the feral cats and fight to survive every day. I personally think that he even is taking the dying part like a trooper.

So, if you can't say goodbye in person, you can say it in spirit. Ashley probably said her goodbye today when she picked Jacob up.

He may not have been an angel at first, but he sure turned out to be an angel amongst all our cats. He was our pet therapy cat.

He will be remembered for Jenalee giving him walks outside, sleeping with Ashley and Alison and Jenalee and love from Jonathan, as well as me taking him in for a good home and no more trying to find food every day, and most importantly, getting neutered that helped change his behavior to an angel along with all the Brink's love.

He almost, and should have, died one year ago and was about to get the death shot, so I guess that was his 8th life. This must be the 9th. He is the strongest and toughest cat I have ever had.

love, mom xxoo
