We had to say goodbye to my cat, Kit this morning.

And my heart is breaking.  We thought her illness the last two weeks was due to her thyroid issues (lots of you had great suggestions on how to pill her a couple of months ago), but it became apparent yesterday that it was something more.  We thought she had a bad tooth 2 weeks ago and so we took her to the vet,  while we were waiting I could literally see her one eye cloud over.  The doctor thought it was blindness due to blood pressure in relation to the thyroid.  The last week though she clearly couldn’t see hardly at all out of her other eye and her blood levels were all good.  Last night she couldn’t really open her mouth to eat, the last few days she had just been eating kmr and baby food.  This morning I took her back to the vet and they told me it was most likely a tumor in her brain.  Something to do with her eye reaction and what she was doing with her head.  In any event we decided we had to make that horrible decision to let her go.

She was the most beautiful cat I have ever seen.  She had huge beautiful green eyes and the longest whiskers.  She was so soft and fluffy and colorful.  She had a deep satisfying purr and instead of meowing she kind of chirped and chattered at us.  When my husband brought her home she was only about 3 weeks old and could only crab hop/walk around.  She loved to be in my scrapbook room with me and sit in her box on the table.  She was sassy yet sweet.  She never liked being held, but loved to snuggle on my chest.  She loved sparkly puffs and would play fetch with me, she loved to eat otter pops and dried apricots.  She was my sweetie petey and I miss her so much.  

Thank you for all  your help and support and for reading.  If you have any fuzzies in your life I ask you to give them a kiss in memory of Kit for me.
