I lost my best friend on Thursday. He was 10 and I thought we had at least a few more years. I did everything I could for him. I had to make the heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep after he suffered from a Saddle Thrombus. I had never heard of this before and it was absolutely horrible for both him and me. Apparently most cats that get this have no other symptoms of heart disease. He was so scared and in so much pain. I am just glad I was home when it happened and I could say goodbye to him.
My heart hurts so much. He was with me through most of my adult life. He could tell when I wasn’t feeling well and would always lay with me. He loved lying on his hammock and overlooking his garden. He would come get us when he wanted breakfast, or when we were up past his bedtime. He loved being gently tossed onto the bed, and having his tummy scratched. He was so funny and had the best personality.
He had so many places in our house, and seeing them empty makes me sob. I have three other pets but my house feels so empty. He was my first pet. I miss him so much.
