| Lupin as a kitten |
We are heartbroken, our wee cat Lupin died on Wednesday.
She stopped eating about a week ago and a blood test showed that her kidneys stopped working, causing toxins to build up in her blood. There is no such thing as dialysis for cats, or any other treatments and we took the difficult decision to let her go. We knew this day would come after her diagnosis of chronic kidney disease in summer 2023.
She was so very sweet, most mornings she would sit on my chest and help me go through my emails, a chore I do on a comfortable armchair.
I am glad we could help her go to sleep.
I'm so very sorry to hear this, Christina. You must be heartbroken.
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love. Xx
I am so, so sorry for your loss. Sending you a big healing hug. Losing a cherished pet is so hard.
ReplyDeleteFeeling for you all. They are such a part of our lives. Enjoy looking through all the wonderful photos you have of her. All those wonderful memories. Xx
ReplyDeleteThey love us for all of their life and we remember them for the rest of ours.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry! We pay for the joy animals bring us with the terrible pain of their departure.

I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Our almost 20 year old cat died from kidney disease in April. I too am glad that we can help them sleep. Sending you love.
ReplyDeleteDear Christina, I am so sorry for your loss. It must be so hard for you. It is difficult to lose a pet that you love. My thoughts are with you. Hugs Rose xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sorry, Christina. It is so hard to say goodbye to much loved pet. It looks like she jphad a good life. Xx Doris
ReplyDeleteIt’s emotional. Sha was a harlequin tabby, like our girl.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read this, we lost our Grace this year, they leave a huge hole in our lives.
ReplyDeleteChristine, I'm so very sorry to hear that, such sad news. She was lucky to have such a lovely family, as you were lucky to have such a sweet cat. I'm sending all the hugs, CJ xxxxx
ReplyDeleteSuch sad news before Christmas Christina but all cat lovers like me know exactly how you feel. There is no cure for it except remembering all you gave her and all she gave you.However you are not quite at that place yet. I had a group of six cats ...all female,all about the same age. I didn't intend to have six they somehow "arrived"from different directions for different reasons but were well loved. All but one died from kidney disease and like you say there is no cure. The sadness goes,the love remains. X
ReplyDeleteHugs.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear your news about Lupin. I know you will miss her terribly but I also know you will always have treasured memories of a sweet friend. Take care of yourselves x
ReplyDeleteLupin was certainly a much loved member of your family, Christina, as all our pets do become. Sorry to read of her passing.
ReplyDeleteBrings a tear to my eye too. Sorry to hear this.
