Yesterday morning at around 5:45 I was woken up by a LOUD pitched scream coming from my cat rosey who was under my bed. I quickly picked her up and realized she was having difficulty breathing taking large breaths every few minutes but not being able to move. I put her on a pillow and she flopped didn't move just layed there then at one time she tried to get up but didn't have the strength and toppled to the floor just a few inches below my bed.
I picked her up and laid her back on the pillow and just petted her letting her know that I was there for her and that she wasn't alone.
My other 3 cats came in and quickly realized that something was wrong and as cats seem to know when something is wrong quickly left the room leaving rosey and I together to spend her last minutes.
I just sat on my bed petting her and letting her know I was there and that she was not alone as I stated earlier here but yet at around 6:20 she took her final breath a long breath then her mouth closed and her body lay still.. I waited to see if she would move again but it wasn't meant to be.
I believe that our cat magic who one time got stuck in a tree and couldn't get down and needed rosey's help once again got into a situation where he needed her and now they are together climbing trees and talking.
So after dealing with her passing I went to work yesterday but that was the LAST place I wanted to be .. I was soo heartbroken and sad and even though some of my co-workers tried to cheer me up I really felt inconsolable. I came home and just curled up next to my other 3 cats and cried.
I am soo terrified right now that my baby tigey who is 17 might have similar issues in the near future and I know that once she passes I will loose it. She has been with me through EVERYTHING through school elmentery through college all my surgeries and soo much more that she is my everything and I will truly miss her when that time comes.
My parents and I have discussed what to do when that day comes and they have come up with the suggestion of letting me get a new kitten .. but I am not sure if and when I would be ready to do that.. but thats a LONG way off in the future and I don't want to think about that right now...
so I am gonna get ready for my shift at work then come home to burry rosey in our little pet resting place ...
RIP ROSEY 1993-2008
