It was just a little over 6 months ago when we lost our loving Minnow. A cat so loving, nurturing and beautiful. He alluded such an innocence in him, an innocence that could never be taken away, however, his time had come to an end and we had to say goodbye.
Diagnosed with Kidney Failure, and a parasite that was going after his red blood cells, the last days of his lives were sad and painful. So we made the decision to put him down. My darling SO and I took him into the vet that day, and not a dry eye remained when we left. Even the vets could feel our love for our beloved, sweet Minnow.
Not a day goes by where we don’t think of him. We made the most of the months ahead finding our own place in NorCal to move into, and start our new life up here with our beloved Pimmy alongside us.
Our last cat, our beautiful sweet Pimmy, but just a little over a week and a half ago we saw he wasn’t acting like his usual self, he was more sleepy and wasn’t eating as much so we took him to the vet. And that’s when the news of him having cancer came to us.
So much anger, frustration took over us. So much, “why him, why now?” We just lost our Minnow a few months ago and now this.
Of our two cats, Pimmy was always the more adventurous one. The one always wanting to explore the outdoors. But now, we watch as the cancer has truly taken a toll on him. He spends his days sleeping. He’s still eating, but soon we will have to make a decision, and for the first time in many years, we will be without a pet.
We weren’t ready for this. It was far too soon. But, when it comes to life, sometimes we just don’t have a say in the matter.
We love you Minnow and Pimmy. We always will.
