Title: Mopi the Cat
Post by: mopi on November 19, 2017, 07:40:06 AM

Hi all

My first post on this forum is a sad one unfortunately  :'(

My cat, Mopi a neutered male who I got from a RSPCA shelter home in spring '04 was put to sleep at the vets yesterday.. He was nearly 16


After being diagnosed with congestive heart failure after his stay at the Pet hospital earlier in the week, he never returned to his old self when he came home.
He stopped purring, grooming or responding to people. Just wanted to be left alone on the sofa

He didn't eat for 5 days and by Saturday morning could barely walk.

The change in his behaviour from when he was handed to the vets on Monday and when he returned on Wednesday was stark !
I feel really guilty that by sending him for an overnight stay at the Pet hospital, it left him traumatized
I didn't want him to suffer

He was a lovely cat who lived a happy, long life, and will be dearly missed

I buried him in his favourite spot in the garden

Very upsetting time  :(

I'm sincerely sorry for your loss and now exactly how you're feeling at the moment  :hug: :hug:

Mopi was a stunningly beautiful boy.  RIP darling angel  :'(

It's coming up to a year since we lost our beautiful Boris to the same thing brought on by heart disease.  He never reached his 6th birthday. 

There's no guilt in this situation.  Life can be so cruel.  You gave him a long life during which he was much treasured.  The good memories will come but you will feel empty and miserable for now.  Be kind to yourself  :hug: :hug:

thanks for that Rosella  :hug:

it's going to take time to get over his loss that's for sure.

Some day we'll meet again I'm sure. He'll be waiting for me when my time to pass comes

Hello Joe

Welcome to Purrs.  Am so sorry you found us under such sad circumstances.  Mopi is a stunning boy.  What a sweet face.

We all understand what you're going through, losing a much loved friend, and you're in good company.  Don't beat yourself up over having taken him to the vet.  The nature of his illness would mean he would lose ground rapidly.  To get him to 16 is no mean feat, and shows how much you love and cared for him.   :hug: :hug:

Rest in peace at rainbow bridge, sweet baby boy.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was beautiful. He will always be with you in your heart.
Don't feel bad for getting him the medical care he needed. It was a decision made from love and was always the right one.
Run free at the bridge Mopi xx
