On 2nd May 2005 Sophie passed over to RB.

She'd been quiet and down for a couple of weeks (she sometimes was) then
on the Thursday she went off her food and despite being served all her
favourites she didn't eat. Sunday evening she could hardly walk. I cuddled
her all night then took her to the vets where it was found she had kidney
failure. We returned to the vets and were with her as she was put to sleep.

It's taken until now for me to be able to post this.

She was so very gentle and loving I was so privileged to have loved her.

Oh Judith I am SOOO sorry to hear this :(  Major soothing purrs to you. I'm
sure Sophie is playing with all the other kitties at the bridge now but it
doesn't make us feel any better :(

Thank you Karen.

I'm very lucky with my work colleagues and neighbours. Monday had been a
bank holiday and when I went in to work on Tuesday I was hugged by most of
them and over the next couple of days they bought me my favourite
chocolates and flowers. My next door neighbour, who was very fond of
Sophie bought me a box of chocolates and hugged me. It all helped.

Yes, it can be hard for so many reasons.  RF can sometimes stay hidden
until it's it's done irreversible damage-- that's what happened to my
poor little Mimi.   Then it all happens so fast, you can't really
process it.  Peaceful RB purrs for her, and healing purrs for your
heart.

Thank you Theresa.

Yes, it was so very fast.

I picture Sophie and Sweep (my previous cat who went to RB on the same
bank holiday ten years ago) sitting on a lovely soft bed comparing notes
on us.

It certainly is.

Sophie, although allowed outside when we were home, spent most of her time
with me. She was there when I ironed, cooked, cleaned and relaxed. She
slept beside my pillow at night. She was lovely.

Yes she was. She loved people and they loved her. She always greeted
visitors and was very well behaved.

I'm so very sorry to read this. This is how I lost my Smokey, though he
was 20 years old it still hurt. That was 5 years ago and I still miss
him. Lots of comforting purrs and a candle lit for Sophie, nothing can
hurt her now.

My condolences for Sophie.  I've always enjoyed your stories about
her.  It's sad how even the most beautiful souls can't stay on earth
forever.

Purrs of condolence for your loss.

Eventually it WILL become easier to bear - I've just been through it
myself with Pericles.

Be consoled that you did everything you could and prevented Sophie
suffering.
Hopefully the many happy memories will come to outweigh the pain of now.

Best wishes

I'm so very sorry to hear of the loss of Sophie. It sounds like she
didn't suffer too much, or for very  long, and of course you did the
right thing, as painful as that decision is.

Sophie is running and playing in the warm sun with my RB kitties, and
for Sophie, time will pass relatively quickly, until you are ready to
join her. Many purrs for your loss.
