Amusing, and sad

Was reading Ring for Jeeves the other day and burst out laughing. Colonel Aubrey Wyvern's third-rate domestic staff are named Trelawny and Bulstrode.

Also, Happy Birthday [personal profile] raitala! And happy birthday for tomorrow, [personal profile] draykonis.

In sad news, Min cat is now out of chances and is living out her last weeks with all the salmon she can fit in.  The lovely vet assistant from the uber vet dropped round her pain meds this evening. She doesn't need them tonight, but it's good to have them. Poor brave kitty.

I can't imagine what it must be like, waiting to walk in one day and find her gone. It must be like a huge weight pressing down on you.

:(

So there's no way to operate, then?

Poor Min: at least she'll be living out her last days in comfort and style. She's probably wondering why you waited so long to bring out the salmon.

I'm so sorry. I know how it feels like. The only comfort is the knowledge that she had a good life, and that the time she still has is going to be filled with love (and salmon).

I am so sorry to hear about your cat. I know I will be a wreck when I get the word that my dear Thad has no more lives left. Peace to your animal companion.

Maybelline(my Siamese) and I send all of our thoughts and good wishes out to you and poor kitty. Losing any pet is never easy. Peace and be well

I'm so sorry about your kitty. But it sounds like she'll be living out her days completely spoiled and loved to bits. I'm sure it's very hard for you, though. *hugs*

I'm glad she'll go with a belly full of salmon.


Also: Ring for Jeeves--Did Wooster propose? *g*

I'm so sorry to hear that. But at least she'll have happy days 'til her death and is with people who love her.

i'm very sorry for your cat...

I'm very sorry about Min. But I'm glad that she's able to eat and enjoy herself during the last days.

I just caught up with this. I'm sorry that your kitty is so ill, and I hope she can sleep in peacefully in her own bed.
How are you holding up? It must be very two-sided, being sad she is going and being happy she's not suffering and will not suffer. I think you are being very brave by letting her go and are not prolonging her life when it's not in her best interests. It's very hard to do so.

Love, hugs and kitty purrs for Min and you.

Oh honey, I'm so sorry this has gone the worst possible way, but so glad for dear Min that you're taking such good care of her, and will give her her peace when the time is right.

My thoughts go to you all - this is the hardest part of loving someone. I wish Min a comfortable journey. *hugs tight*

i'm so sorry sweets. [*pets you both*]

Oh, BB. I'm really sorry to hear about Min. I wish there was something I could do. I'm tempted to fill the page with all sorts of phrases that are meant to be comforting but they'll just sound like shit. So I'll just say this - that really, really sucks and I really wish I could make it better somehow. Stuff her full of salmon and hug her to bits and know we're all thinking of you.

Oh no! Poor Min cat. Poor you. If only we could have them forever.

We will have a cocktail for her when you get down to my neck of the woods. Something with lots of cream in it. But not salmon.

*a million hugs* You poor, poor thing. It's a terrible, terrible time waiting for them to die, but at least you know you gave her a great life and that she's not going to be in pain after it happens. I'll keep you in my thoughts - I hope that she enjoys her salmon (we gave our dog a freddo).

[identity profile] lackofmendacity.livejournal.com 2008-03-08 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... I'm so sorry that it's come down to this. I hope Min is still bounding around and eating well, and I know you're making her last few weeks as wonderful as they can be. *hugs you tight*

[identity profile] enchanted-jae.livejournal.com 2008-03-08 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, sweetie, that's terrible news. I had hoped for better for you and Min. I'm glad she's feeling okay right now. Give her an extra hug for me.

Oh, poor Min. My sympathies to you and J, and may her last days be contented and comfortable.

[identity profile] raitala.livejournal.com 2008-03-08 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
Very sorry to hear that things aren't going to work out for Min. You definately tried everything you could and I'm sure she feels well-loved.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. Especially when you have so much else going on at the moment. *hugs*

Oh dear. My sympathies to you and J. My guinea pig Gregor, who has an unnatural attraction to cats, also sends his sympathies I'm sure. Enjoy your remaining time with her, and make lots of happy memories to remember in future.
