Rainbow Bridge

[Itsmebkitty]

Just wanted to pop on here and let everyone know my sweet Beener of 23yrs crossed the rainbow bridge Friday at 0910. It was very traumatizing and a very difficult 48hours prior to him being put to sleep. I know in my heart I made the right choice, I have no doubt. I'm struggling with the fact that, I waited too long. Its amazing the tricks your mind plays on you when they are at home VS under the lights at the vets office. I feel like he declined so rapidly but yet I knew this has been coming for the last few years. My sweet boy who once weighed 23lbs was emaciated and fragile. His little legs collapsed and I had to crawl in my closet to pull him out and he had an awful awful smell (like rotten eggs) , felt like bones, was so weak he just urinated on himself, couldn't see or even hear me. I snuggled him all night Thursday night, said goodbye and told him our story. The smell woke me up Friday morning and he was whimpering . His eye had glued shut. It was awful and I feel horrible for waiting . I just can't believe our time here is over. I held him in my lap as he fell asleep . It was so peaceful . I felt relief, sadly, initially. What was that horrible smell?? We have 3 other kitties who are perfectly healthy and of course the morkies and they are fine. I got new litter boxes and beds. Pepper who was Beeners snuggle buddy wouldn't even come near him Friday to say goodbye. I know I'll be OK. I know he's with Zachary. It just hurts so bad. Thank you all for being so kind to me the last few years.

Thank you everyone. The animal hospital called today and they had his ashes ready already! He's back home with me. Oddly, I feel at peace. Working on picking out a urn for him. I think he's comforting me from above. I know he's free and Happy and with all the MH babies and Zachary. He will be waiting for me. I still have 3 more kitties here that need me and two morkie monsters. Thank you my friends.

So very sad to read this.

Sounds like the decline our sweet Cerridwen Blythe of fond memory had, she was okay when I left for work in the morning, and then when I got home, she was as you describe Beener.

I like to think that her eyesight cleared up right at the end and that she gave me a look of thanks for ending her pain... :(

It's never good, take care.

Hello my friend.  I'm so sorry to read this.  I read your post from Nov 2016.  Beener had cancer, so I think that's what the smell was.

You had your dear kitty for 23yrs...he was with you half your life; I can understand how hard it must of been to let him go.  

Please don't go on thinking you waited too long.  You did what you thought was right, and that is never wrong.

Beener was a MH kitty...which holds the highest honor.  Not only does he join Zachery, but all the MH kitties at the Rainbow Bridge who have passed before him.  He was greeted with open paws.  He misses you already and while he loves and remembers you, he doesn't remember his life on Earth or any suffering he may of felt.  That is over; he is young and healthy now and waiting for the day he will see you again.    

My heart goes out to you honey.  RIP sweet Beener.  You will be missed.  

Love and hugs to you Kitty.  xo

My condolences for loosing dear little Beaner and prayers sent up for Bosco....tried to message you sooner but for unknown reasons couldn't post. RIP little MH kitty, you were a special boy to us all ;(

Asking for some prayers for my bosco monster. Some of you may recall I got bosco who is a morkie shortly after I lost Zachary. Found out today he has a corneal abrasion and may lose his right eye. Its pretty bad. He's also in pain. I know this isn't the dog forum. Just asking for prayers. Surprisingly, I am doing well with the loss of my Beener. I think he has a lot to do with that. ;)

My heart breaks for you. I know I will be doing the same for my 22 YO Tabby.  He still has a good appetite, and gets up and down from the bed to eat and use his box, but he has also lost much weight.

Yes, perhaps you waited a bit long ..... who knows? I have heard that the final decline can come very rapidly, but no doubt he had a wonderful life, and was loved on until the end. Be at peace knowing he is at peace, and love on the little ones.
