Oh sweetie, I'm sorry. I hope she is maybe just feeling up for a little adventuring, but if she has left to pass away, then they do know when its time and try to spare the people who love them.
Thank you for caring ♥ Still no sign of her. We've scoured the neighbourhood, called the local vets and put up signs, but to no avail. I miss her so. Trying to be hopeful...
Oh Riss, I am sorry. I hope she's just gone off somewhere for a good chew on leaves and sunny spot, but if she has decided to take the Cat Dignitas approach, she must love you a lot to not want to put you through watching her go.
She's always been an inside sort of cat - her sister was the mouser and chaser. Patches used to bring almost-dead things home for Spot to play with; Spot would half-heartedly join in, but lost interest pretty quickly. Even when she was younger she only ever stayed out for an hour. I suspect we'll not see her again, which makes me very sad and feeling I have a small lead weight in my tummy. At least with Patches I could stay with her and stroke her until she passed - I felt it important that she wasn't alone and knew we loved her. We've searched and called and phoned everyone we can think of, the boys have made posters, so we're trying to be hopeful.
Thank you. Yes, we've searched, called, put up posters, phoned the local vets, but still no sign of her. My poor old girl, I'm just so worried about her - she's very frail.
She's not 'just a cat', as you know; she's family. And likely she chose her time to be done with it all and move on. I've had three cats do that to me, now, and I've talked it over with a good friend who's a vet more than once, because it hurt. Why wouldn't my beloved pet, my friend, want to be near me when it's the end? My friend said she thought it was instinctual. They need the comfort of the larger world around them--odours, sights, sounds--in order to go in peace. I'd agree. The most restful naps I've ever taken have been in my hammock, and somtimes I've been surprised that I've woken up at all. It's not such a bad thing, when all's said and done. She's in her nineties in people years and that's a good long life, even these days. But I hope it's just a passing illness and she returns, for your sake. It's hard to say goodbye to a friend and a member of the family. Hugs! And thanks for friending:) Cheers!
