Till we meet again, Baby Chestnut

[Freedom]

My Baby Chestnut is gone to Rainbow Bridge. He was one very sick little kitty at the end.

Dear Sunny Boy, I am so sorry the end was so hard. I feel I let you down; I tried so hard to set you free, and it seemed I hit obstacles everywhere I turned. But I got you free, in the end. I know Vita will be there to meet you, and give your ears the "lick, lick, lick, NIP!" she always did to you, lol. Always the same, 3 licks and then the little nip. And Amber will be happy to see you so you 2 orangies can snuggle together, again.

Sparkle will miss you here, you were HER cat, after all, not mine. Whisper to her, now and again. I have a sneaking suspicion she will be joining you before too long.

You were such a good boy, always willing to do whatever I asked: "get down," or "come here." Of course, with plenty of back talk, if it was not what you wanted to do, ha haa! I am going to miss your constant chatter and back talk, along with that flicking tail. Love you always, my little boy.

I'm so sorry, Sandie. You're heart is heavy, I know.. but so full of love too.
((Hugs)) to you.

[phesina]

Oh, I am so very sorry.

Rest in peace, dearest darling beloved Chestnut, at the Bridge.

Hugs and prayers and tears, Sandie and Dom and kitties and doggies,

Love from Pat and cats :love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Karen]

Rest in peace, handsome one. Know you were loved and send you mom some purrs in her dreams so she knows you are now pain-free.

[Catty1]

Dearest beloved Chestnut - Sandie, HUGS. This is just too much. :(

Rest easy, dear Chestnut - free and happy and healthy at the Bridge, with so many friends waiting for you.

Sandie - not that it matters now - but did anyone figure out what was wrong?

Hug your furbabies and you can comfort each other.:love:

Candace, it was clear that what ever it was, was terminal, so I chose not to spend the money to have an ultrasound. He would have needed anesthesia and wasn't likely to survive that. It was likely cancer - multiple tumors, on liver, spleen etc, and they were bursting and bleeding. The other possibility was liver disease - the anemia - but with so much going on, the original vet thought multiple tumors more likely.

He lost SO much muscle from Saturday today, and was lethargic, extremely low blood pressure.

[Felicia's Mom]

I am sorry Sandie. He will be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge.

[Freedom]

Thank you.

Chestnut grew to be a BIG boy, but he was always "Baby Chestnut" to me. His baby photos are in this thread:

We are so sorry to hear about Chestnut, it is hard to have a Cat Companion for many years and then suddenly they grow older and are gone.
Chestnut is an Angel now with his wings of silver and gold and will be visiting you once in a while to make sure that you are all right.
Chestnut will make a fine Guardian Angel Cat to the younger Awesome Angels, and will find a place in Paradise where you will all be together in love.
One Fine Day:love:

[Freedom]

Thank you Gary, and Preacher's Wife, for posting.
