My Sweet Redbud Is Gone

[lizbud]

Red's body was cold to the touch when I found him this morning, but he was
still breathing. He only moaned when I picked him up to put in the carrier. The
Vet said his organs had already started to shut down & death was near. I asked
the dr. to go ahead & help him on his way. He didn't want to eat yesterday
but I didn't think too much of it & made a mental note to watch him today & if he
skipped another meal, I'd call for a Vet appt.

This all happened so fast. Why could I not see if he was that ill? Red was the sweetest
baby & I will miss him so much.

Liz,
This knocked the wind right out of me. I saw it, and I just couldn't comprehend, at all. I am so very, very sorry to hear Redbud is gone. It was so sudden, and frankly one or two days of not eating isn't really a big deal. I know I wouldn't think much of it myself. Maybe this hits close to home with me, as Georgia went in a very similar fashion, and I found her under my bed, barely alive. Her organs, too, had failed. Cats hide things from us, and Redbud's time was just his time, as much as it destroys you. He knew lots and lots of love, Liz, and the memories you have will light up your heart one day. Please, the grief of losing Redbud is enough, do not second guess yourself one bit.

RIP, sweet boy. Gentle hugs to you, Liz.

So sorry to hear about your dear Redbud. Sometimes things happen so fast we don't have time to realize they are sick---he's in a safe warm place with his momma and lots of friends.

This is such sad news as Redbud is one of our favorite Cats on Pet General.
Its sad that we cannot have Our Cat Companions longer, sometimes they are just gone too soon.
Redbud will join Our Tex Mex Angels for Tacos Today at Poco Loco , and we know he will love the pulled pork.
Redbud looks wonderful in his wings of Silver and Gold now , and we know that he will start looking for a place where you can all join in love.
One Fine Day.
