[INFO] Rest in Peace, our beloved cat
9 years ago
General
Welcome to INCtastics Journal One week ago my mother had to bring our cat to the vet for the final injection. Because I was at Pikus place I didn't knew until I asked her how he was doing. She talked with me about this before I left three weeks ago because after he was diagnosed with diabetus he became increasingly difficult.
And his health and looks went downwards from that point on. So it was for the better, she told me that back then and I as well see it.
Yet it was still hard to get through it after she called me this morning and telling me it happened. Before I left I spend some hours caressing his fur and hugging him close to show him how much he meant to me because I knew it could be the last time I see and care for him. And luckily I did.
I am glad I have nothing to regret. He was old, 13 years it was, he has gotten slow and jumping was painful for hm now. It was also the first time he went to the vet without making a scene (he was always very aggressive when he had to get in and out of the box) and was peaceful. He got a sleep injection so he would feel nothing and while they slept they gave him the heart stopper one. I know it needed to be done and he had a fulfilling life, 13 good years of getting attention, getting fed 3 to 5 times per day (he was very hungry) and sleeping where ever he liked. I know all that... and yet still after I heard it I cried... for some time while Piku was holding me... there might just be some things you can never be prepared for.
Yet, afterwards I felt better and I am not gloomy about it anymore... I think I got it out of my system... and in honor I will give him an homage in one of my works and I already have the perfect idea... but so much for later...
Merlin, you were a good cat and a great companion, a hungry one, that's for sure, but you were a full member of our family and home. We will miss you, but we will also remember you. Rest in peace my dear friend, you've earned it.
And thanks everybody for reading to this point. In reading this you gave your part of getting to know a great pet, whose memory will live on.
Salutations everyone.
You are very well at giving your dog the attention and the emotional warmth they need and they surely give it back to you :3 I hope you are both very happy in the years to come.
That you are okay.:)
That's what friends are for.:)
