Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2005The end of the chronicles
I've made an appointment with the vet, and she kindly agreed to make a home call. She will come tomorrow at 6 pm Finnish time (4 pm Greenwich Mean Time) to send Frank on his last journey. I'm so grateful to her for coming here, so I don't have to go on the bus, and especially don't have to come home on the bus with the empty carrier. I'm not absolutely sure that it is the right time yet, but I'd rather he go now, when he still isn't feeling too bad, than let him suffer a single day too long. His eyes have been weary for such a long time already, and though I didn't want to see it myself, he has been wasting away for some time now. Anyone who came to visit, who hadn't seen him in a while, commented on how thin he's become. If you want to remember him as he used to be, please google for his chronicles on rpca. They are called 'The Chronicles of Frank' + Roman number. I thought about taking a last picture of him, but I don't want to remember him the way he is now, so thin and so tired. This is how I want to remember him: http://tinyurl.com/5ac43 I will have him cremated and scatter his ashes on the island, at the rosebush with Nikki's.

Purrs and bright blessings for a safe passage for Frank. My inlaws had a dog named Bailey who had, I think, a stroke or some kind of brain damage when he got hit by a car. (He ran in front of their car as they came in their driveway, I believe). He got really thin, and walked compulsively in circles. It hurt me to look at him and I wish they'd had him PTS. In the end, he somehow got out of the house and onto the road where another car hit him, fatally. DP and I suspect that Bailey went onto the road on purpose, basically an act of suicide/self-release. Similarly, when I was a child I had a dog who had a stroke. Two weeks later, Amber threw herself down the hay chute. Sadly the fall did not kill her (she landed on fallen hay) and she lingered another week, through a series of strokes before she died. If Frank is hurting so badly, so tired and thin, then a calm passage at home is far preferable than the last days of Bailey and Amber. --Fil Oh, Marina, My heart aches for you, but I hope you can find peace with your decision.

But happy for both of you that the vet comes and you don't have to suffer the extra stress of that journey. You have the most gentle headbutts from Thea and comforting, but drooly purrs from Bono. We will miss Frank with you, but will always remember him playing on the island, that is a lovely picture. Purrs for you all and for everything going as smooth as possible.

She will come tomorrow at 6 pm Finnish time (4 pm Greenwich > Mean Time) to send Frank on his last journey. SO sorry that the time has had to come, but I do think you're doing the right thing for Frank. Cats are so good at hiding their ailments (I didn't catch Peri's fatal illness until it was truly well advanced) that they're inevitably more poorly than we think they are. I inhabit the FIP yahoo board which is crowded with literally hundreds of tales of people who now regret hanging on to their beloveds (for their own emotional sakes) for too long. I for one will be with you at 4PM GMT tomorrow, blurred screen and all, as your extra special boy joins mine, and Nikki, at the RB, where he will be free of all ills.

She likes cats and will welcome him I am sure. Tweed And the end of an era, or at least it feels like that. With some older pets you can just see their battery run lower and lower, and there comes a moment that you decide it's time to end it. You have a great vet, and if she's prepared to come to your house she'll be there for you all the way, and you'll grieve together. Wishing you strength, also for the time in between now and tomorrow, spoil Frank as much as you can, he'll be grateful to you for your last gift to him.

You will have our best healing purrs. Dan (((((((Marina and Frank)))))))) Frank will be sorely missed by us all, but I'm sure by you, most of all. We will be thinking of you both with love, tomorrow. May Frank's journey over the Rainbow Bridge be a gentle journey and a release from his physical pain. And may he find Nikki waiting for him on the far side. I know it will be hard, he's been your beloved companion for so many years. But it's the final loving act of a responsible slave. Bless the vet for being willing to come to your home so that Frank's passing will be as free of stress as possible for you both. One of the hardest parts of saying farewell to Isadora was walking out of the vet's office with her empty carrier. Many hugs, and I reach right through the computer screen to give Frank a farewell scritch. He is a great cat. (((((Marina))))) Melissa > home call.

I am so sorry. I'll send my best good wishes tomorrow that Frank's passage is easy. Please don't beat yourself up over waiting a little too long--I experienced the denial that causes this when I lost my girl in 2001. I honestly did not see her as she was. It is a powerful emotional mechanism, meant, I think, to protect us. I just really did not want to let her go. So sorry to hear you are having to make this sad decision.

My Cherokee was 17. I felt exactly the way you do. I did not want to see him go downhill any longer, and certainly did not want to wait until he was in a crisis situation and suffering, and maybe not be able to get him to a vet immediately. If it means anything to you, I think you are doing the right thing by your old friend. Purrs to you, and to Frank. We are grieving with you.

I'll keep Frank in my thoughts as he makes his journey. Lorraine My mom died a year ago today. I will never forget Frank because he is linked in this way. I am crying today for her and I can't read the messages for you because they make me cry too much. I wish for you all the strength today as you go through this (if it hasn't already happened). This is a very non-selfish decision you are making on Frank's part and very brave of you. I hope Miranda and Caliban are great strengths as you go through your grieving for Frank and I am so very happy you have them.

Though you've given us plenty of warning in your past few posts, it is still excruciatingly painful to read this one. We all love Frank and purr and pray for his gentle journey to the RB. We love you, too, Marina, and our hearts go out to you. I'm glad the vet can come to your home. When my beloved 19-year-old Custard was fading, I did not want her to endure the stressful trip to the vet and to leave on a cold, metal table among "strangers" at a place she hated. Her passing was gentle and easy in her own home among those who loved her. Our sincerest good wishes always.

I'm so sorry Marina. RPCA feels like such a family after reading about each other for years. Hugs and purrs Kathryn Frank and Nikki will always be there for me because of your beautiful writings of them. A candle is ready and will be lit to light his way.

I am so very, very sad to hear this. So soon after Nikki.... I remember when I first discovered this group; the Frank 'n Nikki stories were always among my favorites. But, both Frank 'n Nikki lived very full lives, and will be at the Bridge together, waiting for you to come to them. Purrs for your sorrow to be lightened at this difficult time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

You're doing the right thing for Frank, but your heart must be breaking. I'm sure Nikki is waiting to greet him at the Rainbow Bridge. Purrs for your heart. Suz&Spicey I've been sick the last couple of days so haven't been logged on. So, so sorry to hear the news when I logged in today. My heart goes out to you. Hugs & purrs to you. May Frank's passage across the bridge be peaceful. {{{{Marina}}}} Kate. > I've made an appointment with the vet, and she kindly agreed to make a > home call.
