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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Thank you.

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

I am so sorry to hear about Chestnut's passing. Please take some solace in knowing he is no longer in pain.

Rest in peace sweet boy.

[Pinot's Mom]

Sandie, I'm so sorry, my heart breaks for you as well. I don't know what else to say.

Godspeed, dear Chestnut.

Sandie thanks for sharing the kitten pictures. Just SOOO cute - I can see why he landed smack in the middle of your heart with a big THUNK!

Wishing you more happy memories as the days pass. HUGS.

Sandie, I'm so sorry for your loss. Chestnut was such a handsome boy and such an adorable kitten too. RIP sweet boy. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

[Kirsten]

Oh Sandie, I'm so very sorry! Breaks my heart to read about his passing, and about his final days, which must have been so difficult for both of you. (((HUGS)))

Chestnut is free now and out of pain.

I am so very sorry. This all just breaks my heart, and I can only imagine the grief in yours. RIP, Baby Chestnut, you were much, much, much loved. Hugs to you, Sandie.
