Our darling, gimpy little cat, the light of Hannah's life, had to be euthanized last night. It came completely out of nowhere; the doctor thinks it was the FIP virus. Finn alerted me to her; it's unlikely we could have done anything even if we had gotten her to the clinic any earlier.
Calling Hannah to tell her what was going on was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. There's no soft, gentle way to break that kind of news. And she lost all control. She adored Esme.
A miserable, heartbreaking night. We love you, Esme, and will miss you so very much.
Oh Kim I'm so sorry at the loss of Esme. xx
ReplyDeleteThis truly sucks.
ReplyDeleteI was remembering when you got Esme, and I hope that all of you can take comfort in knowing what a happy life she had, even if it was too short.
Everyone at our house will say a special prayer for Esme and for all of you. Pip in particular sends his love.
She had a wonderful life with you all and will be in your hearts forever. She'll meet Mickey, Jasmine, Wendy and Oliver at the Bridge and they, along with many others, will show her the ropes. And the tuna.
ReplyDeleteThank you all. It was so sudden, and so thoroughly catastrophic.
ReplyDeleteOh, man. Not fair. Not fair at all. (She'll have a good time with my Marlo...)
