Mouse is an angel now

[bowlkat]

Our beloved Mouse (COTD 3/30/2007) went to Rainbow Bridge last night.... he had been almost blind for about 6 months, due to a major inflammatory reaction to the first insulin we tried to use for his diabetes- but we switched and his diabetes was well-managed and he was comfortable and happy- just, mostly blind... then yesterday, he had a couple of seizures, the last one very violent- so, apparently the neurological damage was more widespread, or was getting more widespread-- he was almost 13, not a candidate for major intervention-- and he couldn't be left alone to suffer if he had another such seizure, and he was terrified..... no choice but to take him to the emergency vet's and help him to Rainbow Bridge..... he was a wonderful, loving, affectionate, handsome cat, and he leaves a HUGE hole in our hearts, and in those of his feline friends (especially our young feral Birdie, who'd decided it was his job to take care of Mouse and make sure he got around OK- it was amazing to watch them!)-- but he's free, no more blindness, no seizures, no pain, no syringes, no diabetes, he's young and healthy again at RB..... but God, we miss him!!
Say a prayer for Mouse-- he was a wonderful, unforgettable cat, a huge part of our lives for a dozen years....

Thats such a sad loss for you, to see Mouse suffer like that, that tears the heart right out of a Pet Guardian to see thier Fur or Feather Companion suffer, and to know that theres in some cases nothing that can be done about it.
Our All Mighty Lord God in his infinite wisdom and nercy has made our Animal Companions immortal as he has done with the best among us, and has created a world where they can be with us in spirit and travel together all around the world , enjoying all the places they in most cases would have not gotten to see in life.
And where they can be there to greet us when its our turn to join them in Paradise , as Mouse Angel is now searching for just that right place , where you can be together gain, and enjoy life in Paradise forever.
One Fine Day.

Despite his illness, Mouse had a lot of good years w/you and for that we can all be thankful. RIP, Mouse and peace to your human family.
