I had to put down my little 4-legged buddy Dixie today. Dixie was a Pixi-Bob kitty, and she was 13 recently.
She exhibited signs of renal failure, and started crying out like she was in distress. I've had her since a kitten, and know her vocalizations. These were different, and it told me she was in a bad way.
There's no cure for renal failure in a pet. I've been through it before. And it's a heartbreaking experience to go through.
We went to the vet today. She was ready, and so was I. And even though I've been through this final act many times before it doesn't get any easier.
So now I have a big lump in my throat typing this. She provided me with 13 years of companionship, and I'll always remember her little ways and idiosyncrasies. Cats are like that.
I've had both dogs and cats in my life. Both are wonderful in their own ways.
Fortunately I still have Dixie's older brother Gomez from a prior litter. He's 15 and healthy as a fart. Hope he goes on for many years. He's my sole buddy now.
But it's a sad day here right now...........
No Cheers,
RR
