Ducha is very not well today and has deterioated a lot over the last 24 hours. He has been very slowly going down hill over the last couple of years.
I cant believe on Monday his 19th birthday he was doing well and tucking into a chicken dinner and now he wont eat and is turning away from food.
I am devasted and think this maybe his last trip as he seems to have lost the will to live :'( :'( :'(
Please send him some good vibes, we are going to see Gareth at 1800, the last appointment and would love to think he maybe coming home again but afraid I dont think he will............................
-
I don't know what to say but,give him a gentle :hug: from me and Caia,Bryn and Tana.x
-
:( :( :( :(
Oh Gill, I hope this isn't the case. Sending lots of good vibes for Ducha and a few :hug: :hug: :hug: for you.
-
Aw Gill I hope you're wrong, and that Gareth can perk him up again :(
Sending all my prayers and vibes to you and Ducha :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Sorry to hear this Gill :hug: Have everything crossed for the vets visit tonight :hug:
-
I'm sending all my hopes and strength to you and Ducha, Gill. :hug:
-
Thank you all :hug:
Its so sad cos he is lying in his bed gently sleeping like any other day except he has not eaten more than a lick for over 24 hours and has since yesterday just become bones.
He was sick about 3 times in the night and when awake just lies there wwatching and only tries to move if you take food near and that is to get away from the horrible stuff.
I am dreading waking him up to go in the carrier and hope he does not start singing cos I think if he does I will bring him home again but will take Gareths advice.
Whom am I to have the right of life or death for my gentle little man :'( :'(
-
Gill you are his Mum :hug:
-
You're not taking away, Gill. You're giving. Peace and freedom. It's the last, and best gift you have for him.
Talk to Gareth. He'll be right beside you. :hug:
-
I am so sorry to hear about Ducha, maybe and hopefully it's just a bad couple of days and he will pick up after seeing Gareth .
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: for you and Ducha .
-
All my thoughts with you and Ducha Gill :hug:
-
Just crept up to see him and he is fast asleep and all he has done today is turn over in his bed. He had a tiny peek but that was it.
We have to leave in 45 mins and apart from using the tray around 0800 and having a drink and a couple of halfhearted licks of his food, that has been it.
I just want to stroke him but dont want to disturb his peace until I have to :'( :'(
-
oh Gill it is heartbreaking
-

So sorry Gill, is very sad.
19 years old though, what a milestone and he had the best life with you.
There are no aches and pains over the bridge Ducha, play lots but don't be too naughty

So sorry :(
It's awful when they suddenly go downhill like that- all you want is for them to bounce back for a little bit longer even though really you know it's time.
As others have said, Ducha had a long and happy life but that doesn't make it any easier I know.

DUCHA RIP 13 Aug 93 - 16 Aug 12
Oh Ducha my special boy my heart is broken and just dont know the words to say.
I dont feel I ever gave you as much as I should have and for that I am so sorry, I know you wanted to be a lapcat but your 3 legs made it hard for you to get comfy and you did try for a short time.
I so wish I had seen you as a 4 legged cat cos I reckon you were just like Napoleon and even with 3 legs you managed to get over the fence................sigh, I was so scared when I saw you trying to get back and pleased I was on hand to help.
Up until just over a year ago you liked the occasional walk in the garden but most of all you liked the bedroom where you have lived since day one. You were the kindest, most gentle cat and my little slinky minky you also had a devil side :innocent:
You loved to sleep with me on my bed and put your head on my pillow next to me and then while I was asleep you would get your paws in my hair and lick it and send out your happy purrs. I loved your happy purrs and am so sorry I couldnt have you lying on my head since I was ill again as my head hurt too much. I hope you understood that I still loved you just as much :hug: :hug:
I sorted the bedroom out just for you with everything you needed and you used it all. You hopped across the space from my bed and your bed on the sofa and used me as a road during the night. ;D
I would have loved to have you downstairs more but over the last year the stairs were too much for you most of the time and you hated being picked up. You were a proud boy and wanted to do things under your own steam.
I always meant to take loads more pictures of you and am so sorry that I didnt.
I was so pleased you had a lovely 19th birthday and enjoyed your chicken dinner but so sad you had to leave so soon after :'( :'(
I loved you with all my heart and hope that you know that and this tribute seems so inadequate for the huge hole in my heart that you have left.
Pictures are Ducha on his 18th birthday and for me the very sadest two of him yesterday morning before I made vet appointment. I so wanted him to start eating but he didnt and underneath those fantastic looks he had lost every ounce of weight, he had had. It literally dropped off him in 24 hours :'( :'(
-
Gill what a wonderful tribute to your lovely boy :hug:
Ducha now at peace with his brother on the bridge :hug:
-
Just seen this thread. I'm so sorry, Gill. Thinking of you.
Play hard at the Bridge, lovely boy.
-
Thank you everyone.
I think the world is crying for him as its rained so hard all day.
Love you so much my little man :hug: :hug:
-
what a lovely boy
-
What a beautiful boy he was :hug:
I am sure he knew just how much you loved him :hug:
-
Gill I am so very sorry Am shedding tears for you You have written such a beautiful tribute for the lovely boy
RIP Ducha
Peggy :hug: :hug:
-
I can see from the footie pics that mother nature is still shedding her tears for you in South Wales, Gill. :hug:
I love that picture of Ducha just barely tolerating loving torment from Lupin. :shify:
The last ones? What a noble and stoic gentleman he was, and how he will be missed by us all. I hope you know by now that you have no reason to regret his passing, and that he is now happy, healthy and young again at the Bridge, with four whole strong legs and a naughty gleam in his eye. :naughty:
A beautiful tribute you wrote, it made me smile and cry, then smile again. RIP Ducha. xx
-
So so sorry Gill - thinking of you Hun :hug:
RIP sweet Ducha - go find Franta and have fun at the Bridge together - forever in your Mummies heart xxx
-
Oh Gill :'( :'( I am so very sorry about Ducha :'( :'(
Such a wonderful tribute to such a handsome noble boy :hug: :hug:
tears have been shed in the Nuggie house for Ducha tonight x x all so sudden :'( but such a beautiful boy who knew how special he was to you :hug:
Thinking of you Gill :hug: :hug:
Goodnight, Godbless Ducha xx Play Hard on the Bridge :hug: Amongst the tears a Double Rainbow Shone for you xx
-
:( I've only just seen this Gill, I'm so sorry :hug: :hug:
God Bless Ducha xx
-
Another Double Rainbow appeared at the back of my house again this evening, it was so clear & bright the photo doesnt do justice.
Anyway, I'd like to think Tazi sends me them and when I saw it I also immediately thought of you - because of that i'm sharing it with you knowing you will get yours soon :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Lovely tribute Gill :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Thank you for those rainbow pics they are fantastic and please ask Tazi to teach Ducha how to send me one :hug: :hug:
It took Napoleon over a year to send me one but when he did it was one of the best rainbows I had ever seen and I could have almost driven onto the bottom of it, cos could see the bottom.
-
That's the beautiful thing about Rainbows Gill - sometimes they need to be worked on for a bit, but then you get such a special rainbow it takes your breath away. And two rainbows - well, ain't that just splendid!! :) :hug: :hug: Ducha will send you one, have no fear of that. And Napoleon will show him how its done, as will Tazi and all of the other beautiful babies who've shared our lives and send us signs to let us know that love cant be shaken.
-
I am so very sorry Gill.
Losing one who shared you life for so long is so, so very hard.
He will come to you in your dreams and leave pawprints in your heart paddling the pain away.
He was ready Gill. He stayed as long as he could.
Play well at the bridge lovely Ducha xx :(
-
Gill , I am so sorry - I am sure he has found Franta (and of course his other brother Oscar , even tho they never met in this world :Luv:) and is having a wonderful time on the bridge. :hug: :hug:
-
:hug: :hug: Im so sorry Gill :hug: :hug: ive only just seen this. a beautiful tribute to the beautiful Ducha.
-
Thank you so much and he certainly is paddling away in my heart ;D
-
:hug: :hug: :hug: I know you'll get your rainbow Gill - I think it just takes them a couple of big tries to makes sure they get you your perfect one :) :)
I'm sure with Napoleans amazing Rainbow skills and with all the furbabies teaching him their new tricks (and Tazi & his doubles) I know Ducha's sign for you will be some thing spectacular :hug: :hug:
:hug:
-
Thank you and today is showers and stuff so could be a good day for trying ;D
-
I went out in the garden between showers and think I saw one of the last swallows looking for its mates. Very early this year Ducha but it was quite warm.
Love you my little man :hug: :hug: :hug:
Missing You
The Summer is slowly leaving
And the swallows have gone
The leaves are turning in the warmth of the sun
And I am missing you
If we could see into the future
Would we change the choices that we made
if we could turn back the clock
Would we change how we thought
I do not know
But I am missing you
For all our lost friends
That we love with all our heart
For all the tears that we cry
We must remember the smiles
The good times in the photograph
But the space that you left hurts more than words can say
I am missing you
The leaves now are falling
And the trees looking bare
I cannot reconcile my grief
Cos I am missing you
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Am glad he's home again, Gill. :hug:
-
So am I Sue, I guess I will get used to this one day :(
-
Sadly, I doubt it - resigned maybe. Used to it, never. :hug: :hug:
-
Right now its neither and am having a bad time every night :(
Love you too pieces Ducha forever and forever :hug: :hug:
-
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-

-
Just a thought for you today my little Purrboy and a few tears :hug: :hug:
Just been on the Purrs birthday thread which will be published on 14 Nov and played the music which is so much for you as it will always remind me of you as it is from the Olympic opening ceremony.
We were so happy then and little did we know that the end of the Olympics would also mean that you were passing to the Bridge.
I hope you are young and happy again with Napoleon and Misa, Sasa and Lupin all miss you as I do.
Right this minute the sun is out and I can see you lying on your bed on the sofa in the bedroom in the sun, may it always shine on you :hug: :hug:
-
Oh Gill. :hug: :hug: :hug:
Napolean, you have so many new friends joining you at the bridge. I know you will be there to guide them as they arrive. :)

The beautiful boy who waited for his mum to see the Olympics. RIP Ducha. Xxx
That just brought it all back :( :( :( :(
I picked him up from the vets on his 19th birthday, he ate loads of chicken and seemed fine and two days later he lost weight over night, refused to eat and he had to go to the Bridge. I dont think the vets took care of him and he didnt like being away from people and dont think he ate there just like his brother wouldnt.
He was so gorgeous and found a little bag yesterday with his fur in and today found a picture I had drawn of him....................just so terribly sad
-
Ducha I know I am a day early but am listening to music in the Summerhouse you would have loved, the sun has been out all day.
I dozed off and woke up at exactly the time that you flew to the Bridge but a day early and the music was saying remember me:
The tide comes in the tide goes out
There is a heartbeat ...........I feel you here
There is a fire..............burning deep inside of me, I feel you here
The Olympics are on and I miss you so much, 4 years tomorrow and you would have just had your 23rd birthday a couple of days ago.
Its still raining in my heart for you and it alway will.....the Ducha hole is larger than ever.
Have a great party tomorrow my little man and give Napoleon a cuddle from me
I love you Ducha :hug: :hug:
Your Human
