Bummed out today

Just buried my best buddy the Teefster my 20 lb male Siberian. Cat saturday  Poor guy awoke us at 4:45 am in obvious distress and pain , yowling and rapid gasping for breathe . he was an awesome cat who never complained about anything . he found us and we loved this big ole boy who acted more like a canine than a feline . He was a great comfort to me when i was recovering from my heart attack and open heart surgery 4 yrs ago .

the pain was obvious and from my research i estimated that he may have suffered a Saddle Thrombosis and often fatal affliction that can come on quickly and is deadly I was able to get a vet to see him as our normal vet was unavailable on this particular saturday . SHE absolutely confirmed my suspicions and she did not need ro explain ro me the grim prognosis , so as hard as it was to do we put him to sleep .

He now rests under his favorite Colorado Blue spruce with a nice BIG ole " Buddha Cat " marker .

I really  miss my buddy and the Queen is really down too. RIP Teefster u were a magnificent boy !!

I'm saddened by the mews of your loss, Warp. You spoke highly of him on many occasions. He's lucky he spent so many good years with you, you're lucky he chose to stay with you and the Queen.

Condolences.

Thanks a lot Doc , i was thinking of you saturday afternoon after this event. You helped me with several questions on certain issues with TEEF in the past and were a great help . joanie and i really appreciated what you did !

yeah we were enriched by his presence but know he had a highquality of life right to the end , just wished i could have done something but alas we dis all we could . jow we have freat memories and will have manygreat funny stories ro tell once this initial hurt eases . Fotunately  both my adult kids and all grandchildren arrived Saturday for a week of fun and frolic during the Annual Seaway Featival here so our time is filled withfun activities and several great feasts ;)

Im here alone now since i just got off the golf course and they are out at various festival events now , and i was usually. Greeted at the door by my ole buddy insuchcircumstances but now it prettydamn quiet :(

Thanks again doc for your verykind words

RIP Teef....

Sorry pal, losing pets, even when we know it's the right thing to do, is never easy......I feel your pain.

Thanks Campy i know how u love your dogs ,and that u get it!

Warp... I'm very sorry for your loss. A good pet, whether feline or canine, is a special friend and will always be missed.  My thoughts are with you Warp.  And you know, having your family there with you to distract you and your wife was all part of the plan.  Enjoy their company and share Teefster's memories and good times with them.

(EDIT: Warp I dropped the image into your post. H)

Thank you Marc, i absolutely believe WHAT. You said to be true and a serious blessing for that fact.
