Lost another cat today UPDATE on pg 2

This morning we lost my "nurse-kitty", Fudge.  She was almost 13 years old.  She was a tortie and had very distinct colors.  Half of her face was one color and the other half was more muted.  She was super alert and very different, but DH chose her when we went looking for a little kitten.  He wanted her because she was 5 mos old and overlooked.  She was DH's biggest supporter when he'd nap or when he was sick too, but I felt that she was vigilant about my care after surgeries. 

She was a loner, but she came to accept the tiny black furball we took in (he was only about 8 weeks old).  They became best friends.  He passed almost 3 years ago, at age 9.  Too soon for an active, special, special kitty.  He had cancer and one day it became apparent. Hopefully Fudge is over the Rainbow Bridge with her brother and with her daddy.

Fudge had urinary issues ever since we moved down here.  It was UTIs at first and then they were constant and the vet assumed it was much more than even cystitis.  He explained that since she's so "high alert", that the testing would probably set her off that much more.  He knew that we brought her in and they had her on antibiotics many times, and that she wouldn't take the Prozac pill (she needed it after DH passed away--she was very, very anxious and depressed).  We all opted that today was the day we ran out of options.  It wasn't fair to keep having Fudge be in daily pain.  She had no quality of life.  It's so sad to think about because she'd still lie on me or DD34.  She was staunchly loyal to the end.

RIP to my Fudge.  I know you're not in pain anymore.  xoxo  (This is the 3rd cat we lost since DH passed in November.  The loss seems to be constant and the house seems so much more quiet and empty with each loss.)
