Post by: TeresaM on August 21, 2011, 10:35:44 AM

just wanted to ask about something that it playing on my mind. When Ollie passed she had her eyes closed and even the vet remarked that they dont usually do that. Any one else have any experiance of this?

I think thats lovely  :hug: :hug:

Both my cats Kocka and Napoleon had their eyes open and I asked the vet if she would close Kockas eyes but she said she couldnt , maybe Ollie was sorta closing her eyes as she passed up to the Bridge.

Tiggy's eyes were open which I found quite distressing, it sounds like maybe Ollie knew it was her time and was tired hence her eyes being closed :hug:
