Life Experiences

A very rainy day is in store here. In actuality here is concerned a drought as no rain as appeared for a long time.. Yesterday was a very sad day for me. Went to an appointment that was scheduled at 4;30 for sweet baby Oreo. Much earlier he was sitting on Andre’s minor table and just looking sad and depressed just looking straight forward. I knew that he missed Andre terribly. I just had a feeling that he did. I, of course spoke gently to him’: and said that I missed him too. He would cheer up a little knowing I cared for him as well. Then I went about doing my daily activities always being aware of Oreo. He would act ok going from window to window and doing what cats generally do. I had several appointments that were important and thinking I should take Oreo to a vet for a general checkup.. He would then sit on the air conditioner and just stare. He was still eating and doing things naturally. He would want to go down in the basement and on occasion. I thought it was ok, better than being outside. Then Oreo stopped eating. He would hide in a couple of closets in the kitchen. I began to be overly concerned to needed to take him to a vet. I looked up to see a reason why a cat wasn’t eating. He said it could be kidney disease. I was sad just knowing about that possibility. Went to Animal Intermediate Care yesterday. The vet examined Oreo and she said his body is shutting down. And Oreo was in pain. She asked if euthanasia would be an option. And I said yes. So she got the stuff there to perform it. I was holding him then I put him on the table and the vet did this. I began to cry without stopping. I cried for Andre, Oreo and David. The cremation was done and Oreo’s ashes will be spread on Rainbow Bridge. When I got home I collected the cat dishes from the kitchen and took his toys and put them in his carrier. Will give his dry food, his wet food, his treats to Donna, who has 4 cats and a dog. I have a ton of photos of Oreo and I’ll recall the good times. There were many.
