Hi everyone,
Scooter died very unexpectedly on September 17th, 2005. I know, I know, it's been over a year, but not knowing what happened to him still has me grieving. I watched him die. He jumped up onto the cat tree and had a seizure. He screamed in pain. It kills me to think about it. He was only 5 years old. It's a horrible memory I wish I could erase. I have moved on, but the thought of his death still haunts me. My husband was out of town for training, he's in the military, when it happened. I know he misses him too, but he didn't see it happen. I just wish I knew what happened. I should have had a necropsy done. I regret not having it done. At least I would know what happened. I've talked to friends who are vet technicians, and they have said it sounds like he had heart worms and died from a heart attack or seizure from that, but who knows. I just wish I could quit thinking about it. The saddest part is, I knew something was wrong. He seemed sweeter than usual for the last two weeks of his life. Scooter was a very loving cat, but he was never a lap cat. He preferred to let you love him on his schedule. lol The last two weeks of his life I noticed that he was very much a lap cat and seemed to want more attention that usual. I wondered, out loud, to my friend who was staying with me at the time, if he seemed ok. She thought he did. Then, two weeks later, he was gone. I wish I had taken him to the vet. Now, with my surviving cats, I am very parynoid. I take them to the vet too often, for everything.
I miss my Scooter. I miss him so much. He was a cool cat. He was the feline version of James Dean. He only loved my husband, me and our Gabby cat. She still misses him. I know she grieved when he died. She still won't sleep on his side of the cat tree.
I just want to know if anyone has lost a cat so suddenly and unexpectedly? Do you know what happened and if so would you please give me some idea of what happened to my Scooter.
Thank you so much...
MJ
