I think this has been one of my saddest months online. Two cats that I’ve come to love via the internet died after short illnesses.
Cosmo, who could often be seen on the Tigger-cams passed away from acute kidney failure. He was a big boy and he so reminded me of our Lisa Violet. Ceegee and her husband did all that they could for him, but his vet just couldn’t undo the damage to his kidneys. They’d shut down and there was nothing that could be done and Cosmo made it plain that he was tired and ready to go. His guardians had to make one of the most difficult decision of all. They set him free.
Then, just a couple of days ago, Monday night, Edloe, one of the stars of the catcams over at isfullofcrap.com became ill. Yesterday was spent at the vet’s office, where she got antibiotics, dewormed and tested. Laurence’s worry was apparent throughout the day (he stayed home from work). Last night, on the way back to the vet’s office, she passed away in her human mom’s arms.
I’m just so incredibly sad right now, I can’t stop crying. I’m going to miss her so much. The stories that Laurence would tell of her exploits, the pictures he’d put up of her…Laurence’s final tribute is nothing less than heartbreaking.
Goodbye, Cosmo. Godspeed, Edloe.
Hug your kitties today. Treat them well. Because they won’t be here forever.
