RIP Munchkin

i had to put my kitty to sleep tonight. we just found out last week that she has feline leukemia. we only had her for 3 weeks, she was a stray that we took in. munchkin was the best cat ever, and i am not a cat person. she was a lap cat, liked to curl up and sleep on me. the little darling was only 6 months old. there will never be another cat like her.

we were treating her for a cold she had and she suddenly went downhill all at once. she just recently began coughing up and passing blood, the worst of which she experienced today. my 2 girls took it real hard. i've spent the evening consoling them and trying to explain life's cruelty. i am taking comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering. i miss her though.

i'll attach some pics from her better days...

im not a cat person, but i do like friendly cats... thats why i'm going to refrain from some asshole comment about how cats suck and instead send you dirty pictures of pussies.

Sorry. having to send a beloved creature such as that off to the next life sucks, I've had to go through it too many times.

thanks fellas. i am sooo not a cat person myself, but this one was different. she was a lap cat. not all aloof and disinterested like cats usually are.

in my experience most kittens are. once they get older they tend to disassociate.

Sorry to hear about your loss itgirl. I know I would be upset for weeks if I lost either of my babies (aka the cats that cutty likes to say are stupid). They are a quiet comfort when you are feeling sick. Both mine know when I don't feel good and like curling up with mommy to take naps.....

Damnit, I'm gonna lose my mind when I have to put The Bear down. Fuck that shit.

i know what you mean..... If I ever lost Devil or Sqweuki, i would be put in the insane asylum for a while. The Devil is now 7, so hopefully like her grandma that my parents had forever she lives to be 20..... I don't know by then if I will get a new one or what...... Cutty hates them. But by then we better have some kids running around so it would really depend on them...

I honestly dont know what I'm going to do when my best 4 legged friend dies. I'm sure its going to put me over the edge, and I know being alone wont be good.

These are most surely the best friends a person can have. mine even knows when he's done something wrong, and I think he even feels guilt.

Few years ago we lost our Golden and our 2-20 yr old cats within 3 months of each other..........coulnd't take much more.

We now have 2 Goldens, different ages and two cats different ages.........

Sorry about your loss.
