Hey all, it has been awhile. Every once in awhile things take you by surprise, often not for the better. Our beautiful 6 year old cat was having problems keeping food down, and was lethargic, a trip to the vet revealed last stage kidney failure two days ago. She didn't have most of the usual symptoms, excessive thirst, peeing, just occassionally not keeping food down. We have since learned it is not uncommon for middle aged Siamese to have kidney failure.
The poor thing barely ate and didn't pee last night and was asleep under the bed, (hiding is something they do to protect themselves). We made a collective decision and they just put my poor baby down. Ashley was working so we brought her there to say goodbye, when we got to the vets she called, and wanted to be there someone covered for her at work, and we all were there to say goodbye. The Vet assured us we were doing the right thing, because extending it only would have brought on more suffering to poor Luna, she made a few unusual cries on the way there, almost painful sounding so that made me sure that we were doing the right thing. We will bury her in the backyard and always keep a place for her where the memories are sweet. I will post my favorite picture of her soon when I get home tonight. Sweet dreams, we will all miss you terribly.
