My Grandkitty Sades is gone. :-( UPDATE post # 14

I am so broken hearted to tell you that we had to put Sades to sleep this morning.

As some of you may remember we had brought him to the vets last Monday as he had injured himself from jumping down too hard from the cat tree or bureau. You can read about it here; http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=147167

All week he was very quite, which was good for him to heal, and seemed to come around on Thursday by jumping up on the cat tree and somewhat being himself. Yesterday though, I told my son that Sades still was not quite right and I thought another visit to the vets was in order, as I was concerned about him. He had become too quite and was laying in the bathroom which he has NEVER done before. We were going to bring him in today when my vet opened up at 11:00 A.M., but my son woke me up at 5:00 this morning to say that something was seriously wrong with Sades. His breathing was labored and he was very lethargic. Off to the emergency vets we went and it wasn't good news. To make a long story short, with everything that they could have done for him, Sades would have maybe another 6 months, if that. We decided not to put him through this, that and the other and made the dreadful decision that all pet lovers hate to make.

Lorraine, I am SO sorry to hear this. He was only 5 years old? That is just TOO YOUNG. :( {{{{hugs}}}} to you, and condolences from my heart to your son.

What a beautiful boy.

Play happy and free at the Bridge, handsome grey-silver boy.

Oh I am so sorry! What a handsome, beautiful boy Sades was. I'm sure you must be heartbroken over this, especially when you thought he was healing nicely. Your last act of kindess for him has not gone unnoticed. Please know that my heart feels your sorrow and my prayers are that you will soon find peace. RIP, sweet Sades and peace to you and your son, Lorraine.

I'm so sorry for your loss of such a handsome boy. RIP Sades. Fly free :(

Thank you.

I don't know if I am more upset about Sades or by seeing my son so distraught over the loss of his precious boy. They had such a strong bond together.

When I feel up to it, I will make a proper memorial for him later.

Thank you Candace for posting those wonderful pictures of Sades.

Lorraine...did your son get a chance to say goodbye, or did he come with you to the vet?

I remember losing "my" cat when I was a teen, and I felt like my heart was ripped out. :(

Nugget has been the peacekeeper there - I hope he or another kitty offers some extra comfort to your son.

{{{{hugs}}}}

Sades was a very handsome fellow, sorry for your loss....
