Orbit was a great cat & I've had him since a kitten.My ex-gf got this kitten that we thought was a girl,anyway one night the kitten tried to paw a baked bean off her plate & she lost it! She threw the plate & the cat accross the room,the kitten hit the floor with & collapsed.
So I scooped her up & ran to the vets down the street.When I got home,we had a big bust up &,to cut a long story short,I threw her out that night & I kept the kitten that turned out to be a boy & I called Orbit because of the way he sprung up into the air when startled!
In Nov 08,he began to put on weight & the vet put him on a Duretic,Fortekor,for renal failure.Peopel were telling me to have him pts but he was'nt suffering & until he was,I was'nt going to edny him his life.
Then at the beggining of sept 09,he was going down fast,he could'nt poo & his back legs were wobbly.I took him to the vets who gave him a shot & then took him home.The was no life in him & I knew then it was time.
I carried him to the bed where he lay,I did'nt sleep.Next morning at 0755,he fell off the bed & crawled into the hall,where he had a fit & was gone.
I wrapped him in his blanket & then placed him in a sturdy box,sealed up tight & he is now resting in the back garden under what will be a flower garden in memory.
