Otter-cat

[labelleizzy]

I'm going to outlive this cat. I know it, I knew it, but now it's actually becoming obvious, his health is failing.

I haven't done the no no no tantrum often in my life, certainly it did no good for me to do so as a child...

Have you ever wanted to tackle the Reaper and drag it away from someone you love? Tangle it up in Its own robes, confuse and confound it?

How am I supposed to do this. How do I let, or help him, go across the rainbow bridge?

I'm sorry about this. On the day you posted this I had to call and make an afternoon appointment to put my Pixel girl on the rainbow bridge myself. I had taken her in Monday because over the weekend she'd developed a rather severe respiratory infection. After she was given a breathing treatment and brought home she refused to eat or drink.

I held her as long as she'd let me, and kissed her and told her she'd been the best cat I'd ever had.

When we went in, the vet agreed and I got to hold her, and kiss her and be there with her as she started on the path to the bridge.

I'm still a ball of raw emotion and I'm sorry that anyone has to feel this deep of a loss. I threw the no no tantrum Sunday night, Monday, Tuesday, and even as I held her as she died. I know that it was actually kinder than keeping her around as sick as she was. I still have that part of the brain that refuses to believe I told her "I release you" when all I wanted to do was keep her.

Oh honey I am so sorry about your sweet 💓. Heartbroken.

My Otter is a good bit better, the vet changed his food and added a med and he's perking up and recovering. I need to give him the sub q hydration and he has another med I need to get my husband to help with, but he's hanging in there.

I need to make a new post about this.
