Christofur

[phesina]

I have very sad news:

About 10:00pm the vet called me. Christofur was seizing again, more cluster seizures. This was after being monitored and medicated all day. And this time he wasn't urinating with it. Toxins could start building up.

He could have that happen again at any time.

All else they could suggest would be take him to the neurology clinic (40 miles away), which would be hugely expensive and very likely wouldn't come up with anything else to be done for him either.

I went to the hospital, held him and petted him for quite a while. He was barely conscious and kept having little mini-seizures from time to time. I said goodbye to him about half an hour ago.

I'm so sorry. I did the best I could, little Christofur. I love you so very much, and so do many others who never met you in PURRson but came to love your beautiful spirit.

Thank you, everyone, for all your love and caring.

Pat, and Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, Bob, and Sparkler

Oh, that's so sad, Pat. I know you loved little Christofur so, so much and to lose him this quickly is beyond comprehension despite the troubles he had. It must have been a very difficult decision for you, but you did everything you could for him while he was with you, you gave him a chance he might never have had, and he knew you loved him. I'm sure he went to the Bridge knowing you were with him right up until he had to leave. He was such a beautiful little orangey and it's through tears that I write this. There has been so much sadness on the board lately. I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to Christofur, but he is no longer sick and he will be waiting for you at the Bridge.

Play gently, Christofur, knowing how much you are loved and how much you are missed.

RIP Christofur. I loved you.

Pat, I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. You did everything you could for sweet Christofur but his little body just gave out. At least he knew he was very much loved before he passed on. Now he's at peace and will be able to run and play up at the Bridge. RIP sweet Christofur. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Play hard at the Bridge, Christofur.

Rest in peace, Christofur, remember the love, and forget the pain.
Now you are whole and healthy, running and playing like you could not don here on earth.
Send a ray of brightest sunshine to Phesina, let her know you felt her love and care.

I'm so sorry. This little angel touched my heart. I think he knew how much he was loved.

I'm so so sorry to hear about Christofur.

My prays are with you. Thank you for taking him and showing him love.

I got Christofur's ashes back today, along with a little ceramic piece with his paw print on it.

I miss and grieve the dear little guy so much!

[Medusa]

You'll always miss him but the time will come when you'll be able to think of him and smile instead of cry. Keep the faythe, Pat.

[phesina]

Thank you, Mary. I so much wish I hadn't let him go so abruptly.

[Medusa]

Thank you, Mary. I so much wish I hadn't let him go so abruptly.

I know, sweetie. I feel the same way about my Boo.

I think though Pat , it is about the quality of life.
I have a feeling that Christofur may have gone on having seizures and been very ill. I think that we all want our Cats to live forever , but sadly that is impossible.
I still am sadthat Joseph, Princess , Bo Bo and Moose all died at home, maybe if I had called the Vet in things would be different.
But they were suffering and it was their time to go.
I pray I see them and All Our Pet Talker and Stray Angels.
One Fine Day.
