David Stevenson - 31 Oct 2007 02:02 GMT
I am afraid Minke died today.  Something very serious happened inside
him: the vet is not sure what, but he was very distressed for a short
time, and the vet said he had to be put down.

  Over the last year or so Minke had become very strange, never really
remembering us, and keeping away.  He went missing for nine days in the
summer.

  But he was getting better, and I had him on my lap for five minutes
sometimes.  Today, when there was something wrong but it had not become
very serious and we were waiting to go to the vet, he was on my lap for
25 minutes.

  I do not know how Nanki Poo will take it.  Naturally, one expects to
lose the older cat first.  We shall see.

The poor boy! It would drive me nuts wondering what went wrong. But in
the end, if you would have lost him anyway, I guess it doesn't matter.

Purrs for you and your family, both 2- and 4-footed.

Oh no! I am so very very sorry to hear this. It's never right but young
makes it even worse. It can really come on quite suddenly. Remember my
Grant was only 8 and seemed healthy when he had a sudden illness and
had to be put to sleep on the operating table with advanced stomach
cancer. My heart just goes out to you because it is such a shock when
they are young. (((((((hugs))))))))

It seems especially unfair when our furry masters don't get to live out
their lives to a nice old age.

Profound & heartfelt condolences on losing Minke - it's so tough when they
go before their time (as my Peri did last year also aged 5).

May your (too-few) years of happy memories come to console you....

It sounds like what Bandit died of, a brain tumor.  I am so, so sorry for
your loss David - we're sending purrs to help ease your breaking heart and
I'll light a candle tonight to help Minke find his way to the Bridge.
Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for him, he'll find lots of friends
there waiting for him.

Hugs,

My sincere condolescences to you and your family. Our Blacky will meet
him at the bridge (we let him go on October 22nd). Maybe Zwinkie is
there as well. He left us due to reneal failure in May 2002, as Minke
only five years old.

Sincerely, Michael

  It is not entirely clear whether Nanki Poo is missing him, but he
certainly keeps waking us up during the night and purring at us, or
smacking us in the face.

  Just recently he has started going for walks late at night down the
road, as Pish used to do.  On one occasion Minke came with us.
