In memoriam...Mr Fish! - Page 2

How old was Mr. Fish?

It sounds like congestive heart failure. My dog was 17 - smaller than a cat in size. She had the same symptoms of your cat...difficulty breathing...yacking up stuff.

The vet said it was her age...and her heart couldn't keep up. She was in stress and it was so painful. We had the vet put her to sleep and we held her and took her home, wrapped in her favorite blanket. We saw the biggest rainbow that night on the drive home. It was a double rainbow and arched all the way across the sky.

It was a comfort...like her spirit was still with us...but like the rainbow, the spirit had to fade, and we had to say goodbye.

I hope that you and Renee find some comfort in a symbol or something connected with Mr. Fish. When I see a rainbow, I think of Shelbie and smile.

P.S. Can you post a picture of Mr. Fish?

Mr Fish wasnt even 2 years old. Renee spoke with Ryan (her old roomate that she Fish from) and he said 3 out of the litter died (including Fish).

I have tabby named Mr. Peepers (he plots to take over the world), and a dumb blonde cocker spaniel named Bailey.

Aww....he was a tiger striped kitty, small. ... and less than 2 years old?

Maybe it was something genetic that ran in his family....?

When pets are alive, we tend to take them for granted...then, when they are gone...it's such a loss and we miss them terribly. I don't envy what you and Renee are going through right now...but know you have friends who feel for you....just read this thread when you are lonely.

It's been a year and a half since I put down my little fur baby, and I still have a hard time getting through these pet loss threads without getting all verklempt. Mr. Fish looks a lot like my Cagie.

Betsy, I totally believe what you said about the shadows. I know my kitty comes to visit me often.

So sorry, Brandon.

I've never lost a pet, well I have but they didn't die, my parents just couldn't take care of them. Anyway, I tell Mufasa all the time how much I love him and how lucky I am he came to live with me and dread the day I lose him. These threads always make me cry. Yes, I'm a mushy mush. Everyone give your pets a squeeze for Mr. Fish.
