R.I.P. Sheba
While I mentioned Sheba was back to normal last Monday, she seemed to slowly deteriorate over the week. Specifically, I’d keep catching moments where I could see her shoulders heave with each breath.
Yesterday, those moment accumlated to an entire day.
Today we went to a vet. X-rays showed fluid around the lungs (indicitive of heart failure), and tumors.
ST was at his human doctor just a mile away and got there in time to see the X-rays himself and say goodbye.
Sheba actually came to me from the sanctuary in 2000. We get that every once and a while, people not understanding the types of cats we deal with and leaving a domestic.
She was out there roaming the property for a while. I don’t remember much about her except she was always quiet. And one night we had all carpooled to some bar or movie or something and were saying goodnight in the parking lot when Sheba walked up and took the stinkiest shit ever right in the middle of the group.
Heh. That was my girl.
I’m so sorry, sweetie :(
That’s awful news Jessica, sorry to hear it.
Oh sweetheart, I’m so sorry … and there’s me losing my big boofy Abigail last week of the same thing! Email me - I am really feeling for you, it’s so hard - even when one is down with the whole “circle of life” philosophy it’s incredibly tough when you lose one of those big-hearted, big fluff-balls … Sending lots of love & hugs to all the family xxx
Such sad news…I’m so sorry.
I’m so sorry to hear that.
I’m so sorry, Jessica.
I am so very, very sorry. Sending you a hug…
