My girl cat, Wilma, died last night at about 3:45. She was only 9 years old. She had grown systs (fluid sacks of stuff) around both kidneys last year.


So within the last couple days she had trouble breathing. Last night we took her to the local cat doctor. They discovered that she had a bunch of fluid in her lungs. They drained some of the fluid and then we sent her over to another cat hospital.

Fast forward a couple of hours where the people at that hospital tried to get more fluid. So then, after she kept struggling with them, they put her on a mild setative. When they still couldn't get any fluid, they gave her another shot of the stuff...and well...she went into cardiac arrest. She died shortly afterward.


I and my family have now learned (based on the blood tests) that she had a cancer that was responsible for the fluid. I am very, very sad that she is gone, but I feel that at least she didn't endure a long and painful death. Another reason think positive is the fact that I still have my other cat socks to confort me. At this time he is very healthy. I just hope Wilma is in a better place, where she doesn't feel so crappy...

:cheers: everyone....
 
9 years old? One of my cats is 9 and the other is 10.


Did you have her for 9 years. I remember when my old cat (which we had for about 6 years) died, i was really sad about it, i really loved that cat. But, it was only an animal, so it wasn't too difficult to get over. If the 10 year old one i had now died, i don't know what i would do. I mean, that cat has been with me for over half my life, its been there even when my friends abandoned me.

Anyway, enough of me, I'm sure that you will be feeling better in no time. Im pretty sure she is in a better place now ;). Its good to talk about these things sometimes :) (as you have done)
 
Yep. We had her for all 9 years. She actually had a "brother" cat who was the same type of cat as she was, but he died VERY young, when he was like only five months old, so I didn't know him very well.

Then my brother brought home the other cat, Socks, who is still very healthy. He's 8
 
i like to kick my cat

sorry about yours though, you must of liked him a bit huh

hope ya get over it soon

my dogs dying at the moment, its 105 years old (dog years)
 
my rabbit is 7.... and could die any day :(... but shes still more active than most rabbits half her age :D ... yet still i worry
 
I'm not completely sure how long Rabbits live, they must be fun aminals.


@Burnzie: Actually, my male cat (sox) is still alive and healthy. It was my female cat (Wilma) who died....
 
My cats gettin old now, but she's healthy and cool. Shes the only pet I've ever had, so if I loose her, it will be a very dark day indeed.
Sorry to hear about your loss, but just think, she's in a place where theres milk on tap, and fishes galore, a cats heaven!!

R.I.P
 
@ MATT

lol, too funny!

Not to mention they pretty much just take care of themselves (so for people who don't have as much time to give attention to their pets, they can get a cat).


EDIT:

@DarkelP: Yep, very true. I just hope she had a good time when she was down here. I think she did......
 
And I'm sure she did man, the way you described it shows that you cared for her deeply, and that means she must of had one hell of a life with such a caring owner.
 
I did care for her a lot. She was just soo CUTE, and smart. Unlike socks, she would actually look at you as you moved arond. If you stared at her for about five seconds, she would meow at you. Socks on the other hand, is still kind of dumb, but he's cute and fluffly. He is a lazy ass cat too(sleeps all day)! Still gotta love him though! :)
 
lol, cats rule, there just so good. My cats asleep on the floor next to me, she always finds where everyone else is, and sits down and sleeps, she rarely sleeps in a room alone.

Unless we go out of the house lol
 
yeah. My cat always liked to be around people. She wasn't so much a snuggle cat (like socks is) but she was always around.
 
People always go on about how independant cats are, but they are animals that like to be ina group, wheny ou take ina cat you become its family as well as its master....well im the master of my cats, made sure of that. Some people will bend to the every whim of their cats though.
 
Thats like my sister, she falls like a stone when my cat gets all luvey. I dont tho, I'm kind to her, but I know when she's tryin to be sneaky tryin to get more food and stuff.

Yep, some people do pamper their cats way too much. In fact there's actually a product out there called "paws" or something and you can paint their paws....kind of like fingernail polish for humans.
 
:eek:


Some people are crazy. They do all this stuff fo their pets, when really all they need to do is feed them and...well, pet them.
 
I know, they have like clothes and such for cats. I mean jesus, they dont care about such things. They have fur, fur is great, its always in season for cats!! lol
 
Basically yes, but it's still pretty funny. I'll have to look up that "paws" stuff up on the net and see if I can really find out what it's all about, but I do think it is sorta like fingernail paint .

So true, so true:LOL: :LOL:
 
Yer, the fur can be really bad. Like when you stroke them, and you end up having hair on your palms.
 
Sorry To hear that bro. I know how losing the little furballs can be.

I currently have 4 cats.

1 is 15 ...hes an old guy

1 is bout 8-9(cant remember)
and the other 2 are 7-8.
 
That happened a lot when Wilma had those systs, a whole bunch of hair would come off when you petted her.
 
Yeah..... we have a pretty big litter box....but still has to be changed every 2-3 days. Its a blast....want to come over and help with the festivitys? :p
 
4 cats? Pah thats nothing. My cat (Diamond she is called) gave birth to 4 kittens when she was 1. We kept one of the kittens and still have it now. its called Fluff...or Fluffy, depending on how you feel. Anyway, the year after that she had 9 kittens. Man il tell you that was cool. We had a total of 11 cats about the house. We kept the kittens for a few months which was fun. Some of them looked just like Fluff and Diamond, which was freaky. I think somewhere we have a picture of them all, i might find it and upload it some time. You know what, I'm going to find the digital camera and take pictures of them all, then upload them.


I forgot to mention before, my brother recently bought a kitten,she is really sweet. Pretty quiet unless she is really needy, like if she has been locked out for a long time or is in pain. But other than that she is fine. She is called Susie or Susuy, depending on how you spell it. Its kinda said Soo-Zee.


Man i love cats.

2 very large dogs attacked my cat once.....
I remember hearing all this loud screeching and running out the back door to see one dog wimpering on the floor with its eye bleeding(from a nasty claw strike...wonder where that came from:cheese:), and the other dog trying to eat my cat (Diamond) which was on its back clawing away at the dogs face.
 
Yeah my dogs have plenty of scars on theres noses from trying to have a cat-sandwich :)
