ode to the feline....

I would if I knew how to post pictures :O Help!

My precious baby, EQ, is in my profile pic over there <---- Sadly, she is dying. She is 16 years and 7 months old and is my love. I am so saddened to say goodbye to her, which will likely happen on Saturday. She and I have been through so much over the past 16 years and I am going to miss her beyond belief.

Please say a prayer for her and kiss all of your kitties for me tonight. This is the most difficult thing I've ever had to deal with...:sad:

I am so sorry. Losing a baby is devastating. It's been years since I've lost my first couple of cats and thinking about it can still make me cry in five minutes.

It is okay to be upset. This is a very real and valid thing.

Thank you. She's been declining over the past 2 weeks. It's so sad. We are doing so much to try to help her and have set her up in "kitty hospice* at our home. But she's so weak and lethargic and has lost a lot of weight and is not really eating (She has pancreatitis, irritable bowel disease, hyperthyroidism, and kidney disease, and they are suspecting cancer...)

Sorry to threadjack, but this post just really made me think about my sweetie and everything we are going through right now with her. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's fur baby pics!

I love my kitties so much! I have three little boys

Here's my baby in her healthier days


And recently, from her vet visit


You can see how little she is here (4 pounds)

I will keep you and your beautiful little EQ in my prayers tonight and for the nights to come. There is no pain in the world like losing your babies when you truly, really love them the way they deserve to be loved. She has had a long and incredible life with you, and she will be waiting to see you again someday. Give her a nice big kiss from us.

Burrito is beautiful- and I love the name. But- my husband thinks he should be "Purrito". haha

Thanks! That would suit him as well - he has a very loud motor. ^.^

thats clyde in my profile pic... he has to wear the cone of shame, he has a grooming issue...

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses

I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array
And though you are not sentient , Spot, and do not comprehend
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend
