My Peony

[phesina]

Peony is gone. Cancer, dehydration, anemia, fluids in abdomen and perhaps chest, labored breathing..

I had hoped the ER vet could drain the fluids and give her a few more days, but she (vet) said she (Peony) was already showing signs of her system shutting down.

15 years! Born near Venice Beach, California.. flew to Cambridge. MA with me .. then we moved to Providence, RI.. then here to Ann Arbor, MI. We've been through so many changes together, my dearest little heart kitty.

I love you so much.

I love you, my sweet little Peony.

I was just about to post in the Cat General thread......

I'm so very sorry for you loss. God speed to the Bridge sweet Peony. You were/are such a lucky kitty to have such a loving Meowmie. I've spoken with my RB Speckles and she will show you around.

{{{hugs}}}

It is so not fair that so many are losing their heart kitties lately! 15 years, while it is a long time, is just not long enough. Although, whatever time we have is never long enough. You did the best you could for Peony throughout her entire life. Hopefully the pleasant memories will help your heart heal. Please remember we are all here to give you comfort and support.

I'm so very sorry, Pat. I alerted Henry earlier, and he met her at the Bridge. He'll show her a rousing good time

[Catty1]

Again...many hugs. A bit more time would have been wonderful...but dear Peony was already leaving.

I hope it was peaceful for her...and she knows how much you really really loved her, and she loved you in return.

Play free at the Bridge, Peony.

ETA: Found a pic of lovely Peony...I hope this is ok with you, Pat.

Thank you, Candace and Gretchen and Moe and Slick (Vicki?).

Peony has her own candle page too! Started by a non-PT friend who couldn't figure out how to light a candle on the PT page, which I'd told these folks about, so she started one herself:

I am so sorry. Taz can show her around up at the bridge, they are close to the same age.

RIP Peony

What a beautiful and beloved Kitty you were Peony! Every bit as sweet and charming as the flower for which you were named.

Godspeed Peony...

My condolences Pat...

[phesina]

Thank you, Taz_Zoee (Cindy?), and thank you, Candace, for posting that beautiful, wonderful picture of her! That shows her personality so well . When I have the chance, I'll start looking for other pictures to share with her friends.

Priscilla and Mitsie and Phoebe and Mary Lou and all the wonderful PT angels and the angels of family and other friends' cats are all welcoming her home. She is especially enjoying the welcome from Henry!

She's also wondering if maybe she'll meet up with her sweetie angel, since she could never decide on just one beau in earth-time.. sort of like Priscilla and Moose tied their angelic knot!..

{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} I am so sorry for your loss. RIP Peony, I always loved your name. You will always be remembered.

[Freedom]

Hugs to you, Pat. As Mary / Medusa and others have said, it sounds like it really was her time to go. That doesn't make it hurt any less, though.

RIP Peony, I know you will blossom at the Bridge, like Karen's poem for you, dear girl.

[Queen of Poop]

So very sorry for your loss.

[phesina]

Thank you so much, everyone, for all your lovely messages, and thank you, Karen, for the beautiful poem. Peony Angel is looking over my shoulder and smiling in the way cats do.

Love, Pat and Sydney (senior cat now!) and Poppy and Elmer and Bob and Sparkler
