I just lost my buddy of 19 1/2 years.  I had to have him put to sleep about an hour ago.





I took Ernie to the Vet on Monday and he was diagnosed with UTI and possible kidney infection.  He seemed to be better early yesterday and the Vet thought he would be able to come home Friday if he continued to improve.





Our Vet called this afternoon and said Ernie had taken
a turn for the worse this afternoon and his prognosis for recovery
wasn't good.   His hemoglobin dropped to around 6 and was having
difficulty breathing.   It seems he was beginning to have multiple
system failures.
He went happy and loved.  He gave our family almost 20 years of love.  I'll miss him terribly.

That's rough.  Sorry for your loss.  Think of the impressive life lived and the good times he spent with you.

Not normally a cat person but Ernie looks like a cool cat. I'm glad you had 20 years with him and am sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss. We had BC for 19 years. His time came years ago, and I rarely go more than a few days without thinking, in  good way, about him. You will cross the bridge one day and he will be there waiting for you.

Wow... looks like my cat I had to let go of after 18 years... we lost her at the beginning of the year.  Kattie cat is not alone though, one of our 18 year old Shih Tsu's, Gizmo, went to join her last month... they are playing together I'm sure.  Sorry for your loss.

Lost a 22+ year old siamese just before our first daughter was born. I grew up with that cat, took him to show and tell in 3rd grade. He slept above my head on my pillow almost every night up until I got married and wife kicked him out.
