Goodbye Munchkin
 

A cat of ours just passed away...She had 3 more years of life than the vets estimated, so I guess she had her chance to find some pleasure and hopefully some enjoyment of existence on this planet of ours...

She was one of the 8 cats that my wife and I raised from 1 week old, and had a liver shunt which required constant medication for her to live...Munchly, as we often called her, was the prettiest of the bunch, who had the tendency to gallop like a horse all over the place when she was feeling good (which was maybe half of the time), and who of course was many times on the edge of death when her system took a slide for the worse...I found her under the bed today in a comatose state...she had some bad times before this, but never like this where she was totally unresponsive, and obviously in a dire state of distress...sigh...tears come to my eyes as I type this, as she was like a child to us considering the fact we raised her from a tiny starving and flea infested kitten (bottle fed and the whole 10 yards of mothering)...

Thank you Dr. Blatt for coming to our house and euthanizing her so that she could pass peacfully...

@Munchly, if there is such a thing as the afterlife/reincarnation, we love you...I hope you come back as a higher being (this time in a healthy body)...

Attached is a picture of her when she was feeling a tad under the weather cuddling up to her albino uncle Rosie who always let her do so when she was doing bad and soooo craved the attention of her fellow cats...

When we lose one of our animals, we lose a friend.
Remember all the good times & funny, crazy things that Munchkin did:)

My thoughts are with you....

RIP Munchly :)

Peerless, how sad, I have tears in my eyes just reading what you have written....She's at peace now and will always be with you...;)

My wife & I also send our condolences.

Peerless

No mere words can really can comfort or console you in your moment of grief but I will say that Munchly is no longer suffering and, as one of God's creatures, is now resting peacefully.

My condolances

But remember, noone really knows what comes after life here on Earth. She might just have gone off to a better place

Perhaps the Peerless clone in the parallel universe! I suspect there's lots of milk & pats there also! FD

Peerless,

My condolences and deepest sympathies. They are very special friends. It's sad when they have to leave. Our lives are so much richer because of them. RIP.

oh gee LOTR, now yur making fun of how I view Life, The Universe, and Everything...sheesh....

thanks all for your thoughts...gotta say, I'll deeply miss how she used to sneak up next to me in bed on a weekend and gently put her paw on my face to wake me up so I would feed her...
