Princess had been having a lot of trouble breathing the last couple of
weeks, and it was getting worse, so I took her into Julie’s vet on
Tuesday – I couldn’t get an appointment until August 13 with her
regular vet. On the way into the vet, a 10 minute trip, she collapsed
in the van. They took 200 cc of fluid out of her chest, and said that
it was either a fungal infection or lung cancer, judging from the
x-rays. She was on oxygen continuously for the last 2 days - when they
took the O2 off, she'd go into respiratory distress and collapse
within seconds. It took her lungs and chest just 2 days to re-fill
with fluid, and the vets said that she wouldn't survive another chest
tap. I did what I could to maintain her and treat her symptoms until
the lab results came back – no fungal infection. When I showed the
x-rays to a rad-tech who has 30 years of experience, he said that she
had end-stage lung cancer. Apparently cats are great at hiding illness
until the last second, and Princess was no exception – I guess she
wanted to spend every moment she could with me. Because I wasn’t home
during the day a lot, she was over at Julie’s, and Julie said that she
would disappear until I walked in the door, then she would come
running to greet me.

I was there, holding her and petting her and telling her that I loved
her when the end came on Saturday afternoon about 3 PM Pacific time.

I miss her a lot. I miss spoiling her, I miss her curling up with me
at night to sleep, I miss the way she’d sneak into my lap during car
trips, I miss her meow when I’d come in at the end of the day. I fell
in love with her the second I laid eyes on her 6 years ago, and I will
always love her and miss her terribly.

You can see how beautiful she was at

Oh Ed, I am so very, very sorry that little Princess has gone, what a
terrible loss, she was indeed very beautiful!
I am always a little relieved to at least know that an animal leaves this
world for the next knowing such true love and Princess knew such wonderful
love for 6 years . . . . .
Please take gentle care.
Love Paige and Sirius Lee Cute
May your heart join the song all creation is singing, sweet dreams little
kitty . . . .

And a P.S. to Judith -- you need to be more careful in your emails --  typo said you were almost 70--- I don't believe it for a minute -- I've seen your pictures.  (-: -- Natalie

My friend Jeff got an opportunity to go up to Devon island in the Nunavut territor as a chef for a team of NASA scientists and explorers. The idea is it to test various tech at Mars like temperatures and environment. For those not familiar with the finer points of Canadian territory, it's about as close to the magnetic north pole as you can get before you start swimming.

 

The life they found, however, was friendly. ;)

 

 

Thar be an arctic hare. :)

Ed,

My condolences on the loss of Princess.  You gave her a wonderful home,
life and love.  We'll light a candle for her journey to the bridge.

Bill

Awww.. I'm sorry your furkid went off to the bridge. She was a beautiful
lady and obviously generous of heart and purrs.

-Lorna

What a beautiful photo!  You both look very content.  I'm so sorry Princess
went to the bridge but glad you two had 6 wonderful years together.  She
sounds very special.  Thank you for sharing some of your memories of her
with us.

Nancy,
Carter, Harvey & Olivia
And Boo the cat who sends purrs to you.

When our lawn mower broke and  wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me
that I should get it fixed...

But, somehow I always had something else to  take care of first, the
shed,
the Ute, making beer...Always something more important to me.

Finally she thought of  a clever way to make her point.

When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass,
busily
snipping away  with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched
silently for
a short  time and then went into the house...I was gone only a
minute, and
when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush.

I  said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep
the driveway."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

Thanks for the update, Rich.  The way these two are responding  to
love & treatment it just amazing !!

I know of the forever home they'll be going to .. I think other PBers
do also  .. FaceBook friends.
The couple has a history of adopting rescue buns & and has a very
special special needs bunny right now.  The most spoiled little lady
I've ever known of.  <s>

Charisma & Cedar couldn't be going to a better forever home ..  they
are going to have an awesome Daddeh & Mommeh !!

Will send Vibes to Cedar on Friday.
