Sammy
We're going to miss our Sammy Boy, an excellent cat and superb friend. Dobby, his little idiot companion, is quite lost but will find his way.
Thanks, Fresca. Not that it is at all easy, but I am glad for having had several days to prepare myself, and find ways to help the rest of The Manor through it, too.
I wish so much that vet technology were to the point that dialysis were available, etcetera. We woulda done anything for The SamMeister.
Marmy Fluffy Butt, believe it or not, is the most impacted feline. She won't eat and is *hovering* over, around, and beside me, *ack*-*ack*ing her heart out.
Dobby is profoundly confused, runs in now and then in search of reassurance, then tears off in search of his "dot" (he searches constantly for the laser dot, poor soul).
Uncle Kitty Big Balls? Clearly, he takes the long view of things and is slowly establishing himself as Alpha Cat. Harumph.
Thanks... I am very sad but really glad he is okay now. Blessings on a good cat, indeed. (Thought I would close with the truth...)
The Haddock Corporation's newest dictate: Anonymous comments are no longer allowed. It is easy enough to register and just takes a moment. We look forward to hearing from you non-bots and non-spammers!
Oh, no...
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for Dobby and you and Fred. Tears came into my eyes for the loss of your Sammy cat.
Blessings on a good cat.
My best,
Fresca
