Sad Day Saturday



Saturday was a sad day for our family ..our beloved Cat of 15 years, LeChat....passed away ....it seemed painless and peaceful.....the night before Rachel had found her laying in the tub...I guess she carried her downstairs and placed her near her food and water...she said she tried to take a few steps but stumbled and then just lay where she was ...the next morning when I got up I found her where Rachel had left her...she was still breathing...but unresponsive.....we sat with

her most of the day, petting her and trying to make sure she was comfortable.....I had to leave for a little while to pick up Britt at a friends home ..I was going to take her directly to another friends home for the night...but when I told her about LeChat.....she wanted to go home first...she spent an hour sitting with her and petting her....and then finally she breathed her last.... we buried her under the kitchen window where she often liked to sit and watch the birds in the yard...we aren't supposed to bury pets in our yards in this area...but i couldn't bear to have her 'disposed" of by strangers......

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I've never had a pet of that magnitude, but David had a dog for over a decade, she slept with him & followed him everywhere. When she passed away, it was very hard for him - he still gets teary eyes at times when he talks about her, and it was over 12 years ago.
