Well its not good.
Sofa had to be PTS. A couple of years ago she lost a large percentage of her sight when she had a cerebral hemorrhage, this all coincided with her renal failure but she managed well with her meds and with her partial sight and would tear around the garden like a fully sighted well cat. Over the last few days she had become fecal and urine incontinent.
Today the vet looked straight into her eyes with their gadget and said straight away she had had another massive cerebral hemorrhage and it was not good.
Sofa was PTS tonight.
I have been waiting for this day for a while now and have been blessed to have her for so long with managing her illnesses.
Sofa came from the Mayhew Animal Hospital. I walked in and said to them who has been here the longest and who can you not rehomed - they took me to Sofa. She had been found cowering behind a sofa with her kittens after being abandoned by her owners. She had receieved eye injuries and head injuries and was in a bad way but the Mayhew Animal Hospital got her better. Because Sofa was very nervous of people because of what she had gone through she needed a lot of work and at the time I was not working and so spent the first 6 months able to be with her day and night slowly getting her to trust me. I look her on 15 years ago and in those 15 years she became my princess. She was my special polydactyl cat.
I have been in bits tonight and even though for months have been preparing for loosing her its still not been easy, also because I lost Sylvester only a few weeks ago.
It does seem like 2 of my cats have gone to make way for my twins and right now that hurts as I want my furbabies back and right now hating my pregnancy.
I miss my Sofa and I miss my Vesti, I just feel so empty. From 7 cats to now 5 in a short space of time - its so unfair.
