My friends cat Ezra just died. :( I just got the call from my friend Chrissy (my brothers ex girlfriend from many years ago) with the news. Normally I would be upset when any cat dies, but this cat tugs even more deeply because Chrissy got Ezra from me. I grew up with Ezra as a little girl, her being my cat Wacko's baby. We rescued Wacko from our crazy neighbor when she was pregnant. We kept Ickeris, Ezras sister and just recently lost her when my parents moved to N.M. a few years ago and she suddenly vanished. I reconnected with Chrissy a few months ago and it was pure joy to learn she still had Ezra. It was like a piece of Ickeris still remained. It was a comforting feeling, especially knowing that she went to such a good home with someone who cared so deeply for her.
Chrissy mentioned to me about a month ago that Ezra had started to lose weight and get thin. She was still eating and playing but just seemed to be showing her age. Today she took Ezra into the vets to get her blood drawn and get her thyroid tested, which I explained to Chrissy awhile back that that might be causing her symptoms. Well it turns out it was her thyroid. She called me after the appt. as well letting me know how it went, and laughing as she explained to me how she was feeding Ezra food with a fork. :) I told her to keep me posted and hung up.
Well just a few minutes ago Chrissy called back letting me know Ezra suddenly died. :( She was giving her her meds and she just stopped breathing. They aren't sure if she had a heart attack (she was struggling) or what. She tried to bring her back but she couldn't. She is on the way to the hospital to take Ezra back. She will call me later and let me know what the vet says. Such tragedy. We just found out what was wrong! I'm so sad. She was such a big part of my life for the short time I had her. I can't imagine how my friend is feeling. Please send your thoughts and prayers her way. Play hard at the bridge Ezra. Say hello to Ickeris if she is there. We will miss you and love you forever!
