This is so hard.
My beloved Morticia Anne, Tish the Squish has sadly passed away.
She was three. She was my Happy Heart kitty, born on Valentine's Day 2013.
This sucks so much, my heart is so broken.
Early Friday morning, she wasn't acting right. She seemed more confused than normal, & she had no strength. I got up to feed her & the great grey beast, and she just kind of rolled over in the bed. So I picked her up to carry her downstairs, tucked her blankie all around her as we went.
When we got downstairs, I set her down & set about opening the wet food, filling up their water. I then noticed she wasn't holding herself up in front of the bowl. So I turned to walk to the kitchen to get a spoon, when she let out this wail. I ran back to her, picked her up, looked her over to see if there was something hurting her, something poking her? I couldn't find anything.
Then, she started having a seizure right there in my arms. It felt like it lasted forever. I panicked & ransacked my own purse for my car keys, my wallet, searching desperately for my shoes, preparing myself to leave the house, when the seizing stopped, she sighed. And that was it. She was gone.
I tucked her into a kitty bed & called Pete and cried my face off on the phone to him.
I waited til Lil got up & let her say good bye to her beloved baby kitty.
We made arrangements and she'll be returned to us a week from Wednesday.
My poor sweet Lily is absolutely, gut wrenchingly, heart shatteringly devastated.
Nothing in this world makes you feel like a wretched failure of a mom more than the unexpected passing of your beloved baby cat & the heart breaking grief of your child. I feel so small, so powerless. I would take every ounce of pain & grief from my child if I could.
I'm sorry to just put it out there like this. I had no warning. No time to prepare. No signs or symptoms of illness. She's just gone, and she's left a huge hole in all of us.
