Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2004Nermallee going to RB
Poor Mom is taking Nermal in to be put to sleep this morning. I feel so bad for her, but I agree it is probably time. So at 11:45 am Mountain time she has an appointment. She took Nermallee for an ultrasound yesterday because she has acted so uncomfortable lately. they found some kind of big cyst (ping pong ball sized) by her stomach which they did drain but she is just skin and bones and last night she was up all night making noise, she can't get comfortable and she can't keep food down. She is 16 and 1/2 and while the vet said they could try to operate to explore what is going on, but with her heart and she is so frail I do not think she would make it (I don't think the vet thinks so either, she only weighs about 5 lbs.). Poor Mom though is of course very upset. She keeps saying "she's so pretty" but she can't stand seeing her so uncomfortable and meowing and meowing or cleaning and cleaning incessantly like she is trying to comfort herself. So any prayers you can say for my mom (who is not feeling at all well right now either) would be appreciated and purrs for Nermallee to have a very peaceful passing with no complications. I just pray it is easy so that Mom can have no regrets. She still frets over having Amigo in surgery when there ended up being nothing they could do. Just a really rotten day for chez Chuplis. My sister is coming to visit which I was excited about and now I am just so sad for mom. Well, I know this is meandering but I knew this decision would have to be made soon and I'm just sad for mom. Karen Karen, I'm so very sorry for your Mom -- we'll be thinking of her and Nermal today and are sending quiet passing purrs for Nermal and comforting purrs to your Mom for doing right by her friend. Hugs to you, too {{{Karen}}}as I know this is very sad for you, too. Christine, Omar, Oreo, Midnight, robin & Tucker > Poor Mom is taking Nermal in to be put to sleep this morning.

Goodbye dear precious Nermalee. Thank you everyone. Mom reports that Nermal went peacefully, but she is still pretty broken up. Speaking further to the vet there were more unidentified masses throughout her torso. I'm certain she did the right thing and so is she, but she is pretty broken up. I will make sure she knows you are all thinking of her. Karen > Thank you everyone. Mom reports that Nermal went peacefully, but she is > still pretty broken up.

I will make sure she knows > you are all thinking of her. I went through this when I lost my old cat Scamper. She had been losing weight, and when I got her into the vet, she was noticibly jaunticed (my house has yellow-ish lighting, so we hadn't noticed). The ultrasound showed several masses on her liver, pancreas, and kidneys, including one that was obstructing the bile ducts. According to the vet, there was nothing that could be done. Sending her to the RB was absolutely the hardest thing I had to do, but it was something that I HAD to do. She was a good kitty and didn't deserve to suffer. I'm sure your Mom made the right descision. Katrina -- >> Thank you everyone. Mom reports that Nermal went peacefully, but she is >> still pretty broken up.

Oh Karen I'm so sorry to hear that - I hope your mom can take comfort in that fact that she gave Nermal a long and happy life. I know how hard it is to say goodbye to a dear friend - I'm sure Percy will be at the RB to welcome Nemal to a place with no pain, lots of lively mice and much, much love and scritches.

This has been a tough week for cat losses!
