Thanks so much everyone for your kind thoughts and messages. I am absolutely heartbroken to have lost her. When I took her to the vet for her swollen tummy never in my worst nightmares did I think that she'd be dead within a fortnight. It was such an awful, awful shock.
It was quick for Posy though, which is the main thing. She was fine all that day, and had a lovely purry day full of sunshine, cuddles and treats. We went to the supermarket late that Saturday night and left her curled up asleep on the sofa...when we got home an hour and a half later she was desperately ill and hiding under our bed. I'm so grateful that it was so quick for my gorgeous girl. I'm not convinced that she was really aware at the end. My beautiful girl didn't suffer much and for that I'll be eternally grateful.
Today would have been Posy's 5th birthday, so I hope with all of my heart that she's having a lovely day up on the bridge in the sunshine.
Happy Birthday Posy Pie, love you forever xxx
