Goodbye Kethry

Photobucket
Born - April 7, 1993, passed Feb 28, 2010

February has been a hard month for me. I took Kethry in to the vet at the beginning of the month, and he gave me the bad news that her kidneys were in the final failing stage and all we could do was make her comfortable. So, several weeks of fluids and forcefeeding she had a seizure today, then got weaker and weaker till I took her in, crying all the way.

Kethry was mine since the moment she was born. I told my mom I was moving into a place and planning to get a kitten. The next day she calls me 'I have a cat for you' I was like huh? I was thinking of picking out my own kitten (I wanted a grey tabby) and I wasn't going to move for a month yet! I agreed, not wanting to let my mom down, and I'm glad I did. She was the best cat - friendly, playful and loving.

She was born at the nursery near home, where my mom worked years ago to the nursery cat. The mom cat had 4 kittens: 2 yellow tabbies and two brown tabbies. I got first choice. I picked out the darker of the brown tabbies. And the nursery owner wanted the kittens picked up at 6 weeks, so the day after I moved into my new place, I'm running around picking up all necessary kitty supplies and getting Kethry. Since they had all been handled a LOT at the nursery, Kethry was very friendly. Though it took me a week to decide what I was going to name her *grin*

It was April in spring that the cat of my home had gone.
I'm always lonely in spring.

LOVE A

Only something that brings us so much joy can break our hearts as well. Their time with us always seems too brief to me, no matter how long we have. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you will miss her very much.

*hugs*

Oh, babe, I'm so sorry, honey. What sweet, wonderful kitty she was. I hope Eowyn is doing okay. She must miss her buddy something awful, just like you. *hugs*

Oh, I'm so sorry, sweetie. But, oh, she had such a long, loved life. I'm so glad she was with you for all of it.

Bon-Bon turns 18 on Saturday -- She's my Golden Girl. Like you and Kethry, we're celebrating every day we still have together.

Awwww, that is so sad!

I love her name. It's good you had many good years with her, but it's never enough, is it? ;__;
