I brought him home and he is in a container on my bed. I will have to keep him in "cold storage" until spring, until the ground thaws. Don't ask......
He is still warm ..... I know his furry soul is no longer here, but his body is...lthough I dare not look at it... I can feel it through the plastic. Tonight I will take it to a place where it will stay until the thaw. That may sound morbid, but it is comforting to me.
Thanks everyone. I still can't stop crying. I am in such shock.
And thanks Robyn for such nice pictures of Gabe as a kitten and such nice comments about my taking your Gabe and letting him enjoy the friendship of two really swell cats and of course, my "cat hotel" like treatment. I do spoil my guys, that's for sure.
He did have a wonder side to him Robyn. He really trusted me from the very beginning, which I found amazing. I think he knew he could trust me. We had a good time together, outside this summer and inside as well. I will never forget that furry dude. ( I used to call him Tubby once in awhile....hehehehe...but most time sometimes....Gabe......the Gabester.....)
Last night, when I witnessed his major struggles trying to just breathe, it just broke my heart. It was such a relief to see him better this morning as a result of my giving him the sedative. It comforts me to know that his last hours on this earth were not the worst. Last night was the worst, for sure.
Rest in peace baby Gabe. I am sure you will. So many people loved you. You were one of a kind!
I hope the sadness passes quickly, as I truly want to enjoy the memories in a very positive way. Right now that is not possible. Maybe tomorrow.
