Teenage Guinea Pig
It's taken a wee while to write something about one of my girls, but I have lost another too and feel that the time is right.
My little April puss cat was nearly 16 years old and battled stage 4 renal failure for a few months before losing her battle. I always knew this was one that would not be won...but she fought hard to the end. I had to help my little girl on 14th March this year and it was not easy. I'd had April since the day she was born and although she was a grumpy old girl towards the end....we knew we loved each other; I miss her terribly.
BUT
While getting over the passing of April, another old girl puss cat of mine, Ruby was getting worse with her cancer. Ruby was diagnosed with an adeno carcinoma back in November and we were managing well with her treatment until about 3 weeks ago when I received the devastating news that the cancer has spread to her bladder and my poor girl was losing her fight sooner than I was ready. This cancer was aggressive and left her incontinent and in some pain. Although my ruby was always pleased to see me and have a snug snug and a purr with her mummy. I had the help my little girl only yesterday, 31st March. Ruby was 12 days short of her 17th birthday I'd also had her since the day she was born. I take comfort in the fact that both my girls are,together and have met up with their siblings and furry mummy now. I am sad, numb and wondering what to do next; I feel lost without the daily meds routine for them both.
Sleep well at the bridge my grumpy old girls, say hello to all who have gone before you. Mummy misses you both soooooooo much
