RIP Jazzy, our beloved kitty 2002-2014
11 years ago
Last night I was informed that one of my favorite relatives, an aunt of mine that used to take care of me as a baby, had passed away at the age of 90. She was a part of many of my earliest memories and will be greatly missed.
Then, this morning I was awoken to the panicked cry of "Jazzy is having a seizure!"
After bringing her to the ER, and then to her regular vet when they opened, the consensus was she in all likelihood had a brain tumor. There was a small chance that it was a blood clot, but either way it would cost thousands of dollars just to try to diagnose it further. Whatever the case, she had completely lost the use of her hind legs, and her mobility probably would not be returned even if they managed to diagnose and do something to treat her condition.
As a result, a few hours ago much to our pain and sadness we let her rest. She spent over an hour in our loving embrace being pet and purring despite being in the vets office while we waited for all her loved ones to gather. We think it likely that the paralysis had cut off the pain from her old hip injury, allowing her to spend her final hours mercifully free of pain. She passed quietly surrounded by those who loved her the most. She is survived by her adoptive brother Punkin, who tormented her as brothers do till her last night.
Jazzy was an amazingly sweet, gentle, and frail kitty, she had a strong and sassy, but deeply loving, personality. Though I myself only lived with her for about a year, I loved her with all my heart and spoiled her relentlessly... she was "daddy's little girl."
We plan to intern her ashes in a hollowed out rock with a memorial plaque. She will be placed in the back yard where she can visit with her feral friend Foster who always came to our screen to see her and explore the outdoors she was so fascinated with whenever she wants...
