This is sad so bare with me.
Our kitty, Ginger, over the last week, suddenly started hiding in places she would normally never go, her personality changed, odd meow noises, not eating much, lost 2 lbs in one month, not playing much anymore and the list goes on.
Mrs.CuddleBug was getting upset, so I alone took kitty to the vet and explained everything. She figured it was the kidney's failing or hyperthyroidism. After some tests, an x-ray and even a sonogram, the vet called me before I could call them. She told me, one of Ginger's kidneys is about 3x the size it should be with what looked like a cancerous growth on it and the other kidney was shrinking, probably kidney failure from overuse. We decided on the phone to put her down.
After I got off the phone, the emotional shock was too much for me and I actually broke down. Mrs. CuddleBug was crying too and gave me a hug. After that, I felt much better and when I went to the vet alone, I comforted Ginger and gave the vet permission to put her down. Only seconds later, Ginger was dead, the vet wrapped her in a blanket and the body will be cremated and spread in an orchard.
I know Mrs.CuddleBug is affected more than I am, so I went alone and did this all myself. She is greatful.
I did the right thing this time?
I have thrown out old blankets and our place is so empty and void with no kitty.
But I will be buying a new carrier and 3 new blankets tomorrow, to get ready for when we adopt a new kitty.
I miss her dearly.:(
