Mittens 1993 - 2007

While I was away this weekend, Mittens apparently didn't want to eat. When I got home on Sunday, he was keeping to himself (which isn't all that unusual), refusing to eat, and looking a little bony.

He was admitted to the hospital Monday night for observation, blood tests, fluids, and feeding. He died sometime Wednesday night/Thursday morning. The vet woke me up this morning on the phone to tell me. He said that the blood tests told a story of Mittens' creatinine levels being so high that he would have recommended euthanasia.

I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye.

May Bastet welcome him into the Summerland, where he can have sunbeams and ear scritches and mice in abundance.

I'm so sorry.

He was so pretty... poor baby. I wish all these things would stop happening to you, damnit. *hug*

Creatures named Mittens should be immortal by default. That sucks.

Miss,

I'm so sorry. I don't even know what to say anymore.
I'm really sorry I'm just seeing this now.
