Well Crap - RIP Demeter the Cat

Our seven year old cat died about an hour ago. She suffered a Saddle Thrombosis two days ago -- made it through two nights but this afternoon, her breathing was fast and shallow (tachypnea) so I knew the end was near. Amped up her pain meds by 50% and she faded away. She was an awesome cat -- got her as a kitten and watched her grow into a full-fledged animal. Feisty, an excellent mouser (needed at the farm). Saddle thromboses are usually the first indication of an underlying serious heart disease so there was nothing else that we could really do. I am guessing that there was a mouse problem in Heaven -- God has a wonderful mouser. Rest in Peace. I will be having her cremated privately and her ashes buried at the farm.

My sympathies as well Dave. I've lost some of my best friends when they went out at night and never returned.

I am saddened by your loss. Just because they're little and furry doesn't mean we love them less.

Sympathies, Dave. Get another cat or two soon.
