With A Sad Heart ...

Our wonderful cat Mischief has passed on. For the past few weeks we actually thought he might be doing better. He was eating more then ever but unfortunately still not putting on weight. But his spirit was up and he was acting semi-normal. But for the past few days he took a turn for the worst and it was obvious his hind legs were giving out on him and then yesterday he would stand and look at the food but not eat anything. Then he did the strangest thing and went and layed down in the bathroom and pretty much stayed there all day. Mischief never goes into the bathroom ... ever. We knew the time had come and we were prepared to put him down today. But last night we brought him up to bed with us and he was purring but very weak. We talked to him and he knew he was loved. When my husband got up at 7 am. Michief had gone downstairs in the middle of the night and passed away in the bathroom. I believe he wanted his life to end here, at home. From everything I've read it sounds like kidney failure which is very common with cats.

We had talked in the past about doing something with his ashes when the time came to put him down. But my husband suggested we bury him in the field behind our house where he had his last stroll just a few weeks ago. He made him a nice cedar box and lined it with linen and we said our goodbyes. We planted a cedar tree to mark the spot and I spread Forget-Me-Not seeds on his grave.



We weren't sure what to do about Nemo and decided to show him Mischief in case there was any chance he could then know why Mischief was no longer around. But it was obvious to us that he had already seen Mischief because as I held Nemo and approached the bathroom Nemo panicked and just wanted to run away.

We are both walking around like zombies today and just trying to stay busy. My husband is planting tomato plants and here I am blogging. I guess sometimes blogging is kinda like therapy.

Goodbye my dear friend, you will be missed.
