Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2008Muriel's gone
We've just got back from having Muriel put to sleep. By this morning she'd got too weak to move about any more and had no interest in food or water. She still purred right to the end. It didn't go very smoothly, she kept pulling her leg away when the vet put the needle in. So she had to be sedated first. The sedative must have given her a dry mouth as she started smacking her chops - the last thing I could do for her was to soak my handkerchief under the tap and squeeze water into her mouth. She seemed contented after that. She's curled up in the hallway wrapped in old shirt of mine, for the other cats to see. She looks very peaceful. Splodge has been sitting beside her ever since I put her there. We're going to bury her beside Ishmael in the garden. They hated each other most of their lives, but mellowed towards the end, and when Ishmael was dying Muriel was snuggled up beside him all the time. Bless my little grey friend. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts On Feb 1, 3:04 pm, Jack Campin - bogus address <bo...@purr.demon.co.uk> wrote: > We've just got back from having Muriel put to sleep.

Purrs for your little grey friend, your aching heart, and your clowder who has lost one of their own. I'm very sorry. Susan M Otis and Chester There was one cat that loved his slaves that he would fight so hard not to leave. By now, I am sure that he knows how much his slaves DID love him.

It's hard to let you go. MLB Far too many old friends going to the Bridge recently, but there really never is a good ti,e. Sincere condolences.

I'm so sorry! :( Joyce SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. I'm so very sorry for your loss. It sounds like Muriel was fighting to stay with you :-( I'm sure she is feeling much better at the Bridge, and is happy that you were able to help her on her way there. But you are left without her now, and I know that pain all too well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.
