HCM <\3

[Toa and Ross]

A big hug for you and lots of cuddles for Spaghetti. You're doing the best thing you can do: being with him and loving him.

Just being with your boy is the biggest support. He will tell you when it is time. I'm sorry there is such uncertainty. And I know how hard it is to be strong but really take the time to cry and hold him now. Just be together. If all he want is treats take joy he is enjoying them. Your guy is so precious. Big hugs to you

This morning I said goodbye to my baby boy as he crossed over the rainbow bridge. This picture was taken just a few days before his HCM diagnosis, earlier this month. This is the happy and plump kitty who I used to say was a strong and muscle-y guy. He is my little house Panther, the very best of his kind. This guy gave love and laughter like no other. My heart is completely broken.

Thank you to all of our lairian family that's been here for us on this horrible journey. I know Sketti is giving lovey head boops to all, he's not in any pain anymore.

@skunkfoot I am sooo terribly sorry to hear this. This happened too fast and it's difficult to digest. I'm sending you and your family great big hugs and know that you did everything you could for Sketti, the little house panther. He is free now, free of pain and discomfort and he's playing wildly at the Rainbow Bridge with my little girl and all the other members' precious angels.

:cry:

This happened way too fast I almost can't believe this all happened. I'm trying to take comfort in knowing he's not longer skinny and fighting to breathe everyday. He's out there playing with all the other kitties who watch over us <3

@skunkfoot yes, please take comfort in knowing that he's free of all he went through this month. No more suffering, no more difficulty breathing, etc. Just so hard to digest when the first vet visit sounded so promising. Feel my hugs. I wish I could do more for you.

 

[skunkfoot]

He went to his first cardio appointment and was completely fine! Then boom 3 days later, he absolutely wasn't it's so bizarre and so damn sad. Never would I ever imagine this happening.

@skunkfoot I know, it's just insane. This is what makes it so difficult to digest. I can't even express how sorry I am for you and your family.

@skunkfoot, my heart breaks for you .. My eyes filled with tears for your families loss of your special friend Spaghetti.. So saddened to feel the sadness of HCM taking another lair baby

I know all to well the devastating heartbreak of HCM...
Sketti only knew your families eternal love and took that to the bridge.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful tribute photo..
Hold fast to the good memories.

Fly free and high at the bridge ^ Spaghetti^
You live in hearts forever.

@skunkfoot I'm just crying here reading this... I hate this disease! :'( I am so sorry for the loss of your dear baby. I know words don't make the pain go away, but know that we are always here for you. <3
Spaghetti will always be watching over you and your family, I know that. Tight hugs sent.

 

[Catzzzmeow]

I am so sad to see your update. Spaghetti was loved beyond measure and I hope you realize that is all that mattered to him. Keep the best memories closest to your heart.

Hugs are sent,

So sorry for your loss. You made a big brave loving decision for him. Never doubt you are an awesome cat mum.

 

[bluejay1919]

I just read this entire thread. He was so handsome & i can tell he was greatly loved. I'm just speechless...

Im so sorry you had to see his little body deteriorate but I promise you, he is no longer suffering & he's near you, always. One day, you will get to hold that little fella in your arms again.

I'm just so sorry for your loss. Sending light and healing peace your way.

 

[skunkfoot]

Thank you all ️️️
I don't know what to say other than thank you for being here. I feel so lucky to have had him in my life. What an awesome friend he was.

I am so sorry :cry: ...HCM is such an insidious disease and it seems cruel that it takes them away so soon. Too many of us know what it is like to lose our babies that monster. Sometimes, I think maybe their love for us for so pure and special that they were really just Angels in velvety bodies sent to comfort us and love us on earth for a little while...until God/Allah/the Great Spirit/Etc. called them home...

Regardless, you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers,
Lainey

 

[GoldHazel]

@skunkfoot no doubt Spaghetti was supposed to be yours. You both loved each other and you were a wonderful Mommy to him. He will always be in your heart and one day, many years from now, he'll meet you to be in you arms again.

Angels in velvety bodies <3 I love that.
Our babies are so very special. It kills me to think that others have felt this same pain of losing their baby to this awful disease

I've been beating myself up inside for not doing more research on his breeder (he was my first Sphynx ever) but it doesn't matter. He was born and needed me to love him. I'm happy I got to love and enjoy his company for 2 1/2 years. Definitely not long enough but the time we had was priceless. Gosh he was such a special guy, I've never met another cat like him.

I am so so sorry to read this. As I caught up on the thread I was very hopeful. XOXO
This breaks my heart. You are keeping a great attitude about it all and he was very lucky to have you.
Sending lots of hugs your way <3

@skunkfoot no beating yourself up, no looking back! Sketti was meant to be yours in the time he had here. He was greatly loved and taken care of and in turn, he filled your heart with love. Know that he's at peace now and not suffering and struggling to breathe. Give yourself that, please. Find peace with that and he will always be by your side (just in a different form) and keep his good memories alive in your heart. Hugs!

So very sorry for your loss @skunkfoot. Spaghetti was such a handsome and adorable boy. And you are a wonderful loving mommy. A big hug for you.
