					<span>All 3 of my girls that I lost with in 7 1/2 months of each other came up in my FB memories today.  Spirit 5/23/22,  Black cat sitting behind me, Autumn Ranger, 7/18/22, and Saraya 1/ 9/23, who died of a broken heart after loosing her 2 bonded sisters.  July 25, is also the 1 year heavenly birthday of my dear sweet toothless senior Kalina.  I only had her for less than 3 months but she left an indelible mark on my heart and befriended and helped Sebastian to become less timid and more interactive with his human, by her sweet gentle loving manner. The last two pictures are of Kalina and of Sebastian saying good bye to Kalina.  How I miss my girls and Sebastian and the many other fur babies I’ve lost over the years. Sometimes I wish I could turn back the hands of time so I could have more tike to spend with them but at the save time I don’t think I’d want to repeat the pain of saying goodbye to them again.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you grieving the loss of a beloved pet. </span>

					<span>Regarding Takoda: I finally called the vet Monday afternoon. The vet specialist never informed her via email or otherwise, that they had posted Takoda’s results in the portal. This specialty clinic  evidently per my vet is inconsistent with where they post results and this particular specialty clinic has poor communication even with vets, so I guess I can’t take their lack of communication to personally.  Anyway the ultrasound results showed no cancer, thank God!  It did however show inflamed intestine and bowel area consistent with IBS , so I will pull him off his weight loss food, since vet said he was ok weight wise as she could feel his ribs at his last exam and only feed him the biome for the next month, I’ll just keep his dry food at 1/3 cup per day to cut calories as I was doing with the weight loss food.  If he doesn’t show improvement with that and his B-12 injections, we may have to switch to a hydrolyzed diet with out chicken, royal canon has some with a variety of exotic meat flavors.  Per Dr. Danboise some cats guts react badly to chicken. If we have to switch, I will try to transition Kaylanee to the same food, since insurance won’t cover her food as they consider her IBS, preexisting. Takoda’s records don’t have IBS written down and we’ll leave it that way so insurance  will continue to pay for his food. Regarding myself, I went to Massachusetts yesterday and spent the afternoon and evening with my sister. She’d gotten free tickets, thanks to AARP, to the Wooster Red Sox , triple A team of the Red Sox. While the Red Sox lost the game it was still a fun time. We walked around the ball park, which was built in 2021 and has huge baseballs imprinted with name and number as well as autographed by famous hall of fame Red Sox players.  They also have huge replicas of the 4 World Series rings they won this century on display outside the park. I remember when Carl Yastrzemski, retired in the 80s and he was presented with a rocking chair on the field.  I also had the privilege, although didn’t realize it at the time, until a fellow employee told me, of waiting on Carlton Fisk, when I worked at McDonald’s as a teenager. I was able to get his autograph &#x270d;&#xfe0f;, on a McDonalds bag as I had to bring out an item from his order that was delayed.  And yes Toni, I also have been to a Colorado Rockies game, either the same year they opened the park or the following year I still have at least one of the t-shirts. I bought when in attendance there, many many moons ago. &#x1f639; Then I spent the night at my brother’s mother-law’s house and we had a nice visit last night and today as well.  Tomorrow, I will spend the day at my brother’s newly rebuilt home up at the Weirs, near Lake Winnipesaukee, his pre ious one was destroyed by a burst pipe, that went undiscovered for 3 weeks  while he was on an European cruise. We will hang out together, play cribbage and maybe if it’s warm enough, I’ll go swimming but that’s not likely as while days have been warm nights have been quite cool, making for good sleeping weather.   Kaylanee is doing well in NH but I think she’s missing the company of her annoying brothers Takoda and Oreo. </span>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry I missed Thursday night. I realized I had more to do than originally thought I had to do to get ready and I was tired from stress and work. Thank you for all the well wishes and concerns. Regarding Takoda, I’m still waiting for my vet to call or text me with the results of Takoda’s ultrasound. I don’t know if the lack of response from my vet is because she’s extremely busy, a possibility, as she’s the only vet at this practice or the specialist hasn’t sent her the results yet. I’m thinking might reach out to her on Monday, if I don’t hear from her first.  Thankfully Takoda’s insurance paid for 90 % of his ultrasound.  Kaylanee is not a big fan of the carrier and was moving around and pushing to get out. I had her on the floor in the back seat as I’d heard that was the safest place for them in the car. However at my first rest stop, I took her carrier and put it in the front with me. While she was still agitated it did calm her some as I was able to open the carrier a crack to put my hand in and pet her. She got sick 2x this morning on me and had diarrhea, the later she hasn’t has in a while despite her IBD, and of course she wasn’t interested in eating the vet food I put the cerenium/nausea meds in, she ate all her dry just fine, so I just left that food out for and it was gone when I got home from visiting my mom tonight.  She also ate all her wet food tonight with no issues along with churro and  treats so she seems to be feeling better. I’m thinking maybe the stress of the drive caused her nausea issues,so I may give her a cerenium before the drive back to Syracuse next Saturday. My visit with my mom today was good. She was in good form, happy and her memory was sharp, thankfully today, for the most part. </p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Takoda went for his abdominal ultrasound today and despite two Gabapentin, he still needed additional sedation.  I found out that he needed to have a presedation exam because it’s the law when going to a new practice before they can do anything the animal must have an initial exam, even if he goes regularly to his own vet.  The ultrasound Dr. will share results with my vet with in24 hours so hoping my vet will call/text me with results before I leave Friday for vacation. &#x1f64f; Since they didn’t call me directly, whatever they found wasn’t a must treat ASAP.  I think Takoda did better than his mom, as u was an emotional basket case. I think I was crying more than if I was saying goodbye to him. I’m just hoping the emotional roller coaster will be out of commission for a while because quite frankly, I’m tired of being on it. </p>

				<a href="https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/members/shianne/">Suzanne</a> posted an update Please pray for Kaylanee, she’s just recently started peeing outside the litter box litter box at least 2x that I found yesterday and once that I’m aware of this morning. She’s pooping in the litter box. I called vet and tech said to monitor her for any other behavioral changes, eating, lethargy, drinking, etc., I do have appointment for Thursday June 18 and will call before that if needed.  My PTSD , from loosing all my 4 babies between March 28-January 26, is starting to kick in and my emotions are all over the place right now. It feels like a repeat of last December, the week before I was leaving for vacation, my 92 year old mother fell, my friend’s husband died the same day, suddenly and I lost my Freyja, unexpectedly on December 17. At least this time it’s only animal -and car issues but I’m

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kaylanee update:<br />
I was able to get Kaylanee into the vet on Saturday morning.  I will as stressed and anxious to the max as, the vet tech took her immediately, after getting my update info. They were gone for what seemed like forever 20-30 minutes doing urinalysis and blood for full blood panel test. I was also freaking out because periodically I was hearing a cat loudly meowing and all I could think was I hope it’s not my cat. Vet finally came in and said he was very concerned as her urine was very diluted and feared her kidneys not properly doing their job. Any way great news all test results that were sent out came back negative. He has no idea why her urine was so diluted  it since she’s acting “normal”, eating, active etc., and for a cat diagnosed with IBS, she’s been having normal formed bms. So I guess the b-12 injections and the biome food is working for her. Now to pray Takoda has a successful second attempt at his ultrasound tomorrow and that that will bring good news too. &#x1f64f;&#x2764;&#xfe0f;&#x1f43e; Not sure if I’ll be able to make Thursdays group call as I’m leaving the next day to visit family in NH but please know I’m holding you all in thought and prayer. </p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please pray for Kaylanee, she’s just recently started peeing outside the litter box litter box at least 2x that I found yesterday and once that I’m aware of this morning. She’s pooping in the litter box. I called vet and tech said to monitor her for any other behavioral changes, eating, lethargy, drinking, etc., I do have appointment for Thursday June 18 and will call before that if needed.  My PTSD , from loosing all my 4 babies between March 28-January 26, is starting to kick in and my emotions are all over the place right now. It feels like a repeat of last December, the week before I was leaving for vacation, my 92 year old mother fell, my friend’s husband died the same day, suddenly and I lost my Freyja, unexpectedly on December 17. At least this time it’s only animal -and car issues but I’m<br />

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday was Takoda’s three year gotcha day.  He also turned five on his unofficial birthday in late May.  My sweet boy was rescued off the streets of Syracuse by one of the many fosters who volunteer with the CNY Cat Coalition. (C. C. ). I’d just gotten  back from a  6 Hour drive from New Hampshire where I gone for a four-day weekend to visit my family and started scrolling on Facebook instead of  preparing for bed as I was exhausted and had work in the morning.  As I scrolled on Facebook, a poster of cats posted by the CNY CC shut up on my feed I have never seen a poster of cats from them since and this was the first one I’ve ever seen also, normally they only post pictures of individual cats that are available for adoption. As I looked at the pictures of each cat, a black cat named Curtis caught my eye I knew nothing about him not even his age. I just knew I had to have him because he reminded me of my Saraya, that  I had to say goodbye  to on January 9, 2023 who despite being in good health had given up and died of a broken heart after she lost her two bonded sisters within less than two months of each other. Despite being tired I immediately filled out the online adoption application.  I was informed his foster would contact me shortly with more information. That was on June 4 of 2023, on 6/8/23, I went to meet Takoda and welcome him to his new forever home. I adopted him in memory of my Saraya, as I tell each cat, as I say goodbye to them that I’ll adopt another cat in their memory that needs a loving forever home as they once did.  He’s a sweet, loving boy who likes to sleep next to my head in bed, enjoys sitting and cuddling with me and looking out the window out of my three cats that I presently have he’s my talker and quite loud and boisterous when he has something to say.  Takoda was a birthday gift to myself and one of the best presence ever.<br />
     Regarding Takoda’s health and need for an ultrasound, I requested the ultrasound referral as h&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-73430"><a href="https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/activity/p/73430/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took Takoda in for his outpatient ultrasound this morning, at Vetrinary Medical Center, which is also the ER hospital for the area. I had given him<br />
the gabapentin, 2hours prior, as instructed. I told them if he needed more sedation, that was ok, I was willing to pay for it. About 10 minutes later they bring him back out telling me they were unable  to do it because he was to wiggly   I suspected they’d need to give him additional sedation. They told me I’d have to reschedule, as they needed an urgent care doctor and they didn’t have one today. So as she gave me some dates all of which were my 12 1/2 hour work days. So I said what about a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, the urgent care vet is only there on specific days I was told. Mind  you this is also an ER vet and a specialty vet. My question. Is why can’t the ultrasound vet administer a sedation injection? Then I read the confirmation email they sent me and in addition to the 515$ for the ultrasound, they want to charge me an additional 186.00 for the sedation exam plus the cost of the meds, not to mention I have to take time off from work both Monday and Tuesday, as he needs to fast from 6:00 on and I don’t get home from work until 9:00 Monday nights.,  thid whole experience is just maddening and just insane, thst they need a sedation consult why not just ask for  and look over his vet records??? He’s in good health per the most recent blood test, on May 15. It’s not even the money that I’m concerned about the insurance will most likely cover it , it’s just the face that they’re a specialist place but don’t have a regular vet on staff to help out PRN, for situations like this, because I’m sure, I’m not the first nor will I be the last to have this occur.  My two Vetrinary practices are far more competent and helpful than this place is, and Takoda’s vet only has one vet that works at the practice. &#x1f621;&#x1f621;&#x1f63e;</p>

I took her for the endoscopy on Tuesday thinking we may finally get to the bottom of her diarrhea problem. Two hours after I dropped her off at the vet, my phone rang. “There’s been a complication.” They had just started the procedure and hadn’t reached the area to get tissue samples when the probe punctured her bowel. The tissue was thin and more deteriorated than expected. Prognosis for repair was very poor. Only one other option. I requested they take the samples they hadn’t gotten to so I could know what caused the issue. They opened her and found multiple other tears and deterioration along the organs which might have ruptured and gone septic at some point. I brought her home so that Andy could see and sniff her before I took her for cremation. On Monday night she made multiple trips to the litter box which had become normal behavior for her and on the last trip she left a large puddle of very foul smelling diarrhea on the bathroom floor, it unmistakably smelled of blood. I can only imagine that her bowel must have been so badly damaged for this to have gone so wrong. Today would have been her second gotcha day.			]]></content:encoded>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Takoda’s blood tests came back from his annual blood exam visit and his organ function is good but his infection fighting skills have decreased , probably from his irritable bowel disorder I’m going to start him on B-12 injections because my vet said it can’t hurt him. She’s also going to call in an ultrasound referral to my other vet, who has an ultrasound Dr. on premises 1 or 2x per week, as I’m concerned that he may possibly have cancer due to IBD, which hopefully since he hasn’t been officially diagnosed with IBD, the insurance hopefully will cover it. &#x1f64f;&#x1f64f;&#x1f64f;Either way I want to know one way or the other if he possibly has cancer and if he does hopefully it will be caught early and is treatable. I’d rather be proactive with his health than increase my PTSD, from saying goodbye to one more fur child. 4 in the past 14 months and 7 in the past 4 years was more than sufficient. It’s tough enough that it would have been Kalina’s 1year gotcha day this past May 3rd  and she’s gone and May 19 was Morgaine’s 21st heavenly birthday and tomorrow is Spirit’s 4th heavenly birthday. My heart is already heavy with grief and memories of those I’ve said good bye to, I’m not ready to have to say goodbye bye to my Takoda anytime soon. Prayers to all those especially Bernie who are grieving the loss of a beloved pet. May all grieving feel God’s loving healing embrace. </p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kaylanee went for her recheck from her dental surgery on April 9, last Thursday April 30 and was told her mouth was looking good and that she healed well. She will however have to have her teeth  regularly checked, due to the tooth autoimmune disease, that she has which causes the tooth/root to self absorb. I’m just happy that her quality of life has improved tremendously since I adopted her almost 3 months ago.  She is such a sweet loving little girl, who especially likes to lay on me or next to me under the covers, when I go to bed at night.   I’m so thankful, that I chose to adopt her, even with all the debt she’s put me in with all her health issues.  I hope everyone else is doing well. Bernie, how are your cats doing? Diane how is Lincoln doing and how are you doing?  Praying for everyone and their beloved pets.  </p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kaylanee had successful dental surgery, last Thursday 4/9.  With the exception of her canine teeth she had all her upper teeth extracted and some of her bottom ones as well.  She has an auto immune tooth disease, which when I find out more about it at her recheck appointment on 4/30, I will share with the community.   She’s doing amazingly well post surgery and was eating her wet food before she even received her first dose of her heavy duty narcotic pain medication.  I’m wondering if her mouth pre surgery was so painful that she’d just learned to deal with it, that the post dental surgery was  a walk in the park because she’s been acting herself and eating everything I give her wet and soggy dry food. While I’m not sure she needed the pain meds I gave them per vet directions and she finished last dose today.  I’m wondering if her disinterest in food, the first month I had her was because she was nauseous all the time because once she had the nausea medication injection she hasn’t stopped eating. It’s like she’s a different cat. I still give her the nausea medicine PRN.   So far my fundraising attempts to finance her dental surgery, have been a total flop.  I have been posting updates almost daily and sharing publicly on Facebook and haven’t even gotten reactions or comments, never mind donations, with the exception of my own donation to see if it worked via FB. I tried posting on my local Nextdoor but it was hidden because evidently fundraising is against their rules. However, I also realize that if I choose to be a pet owner, then that comes with the responsibility of paying for their vet bills. </p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kaylanee’s visit to the cardiologist went reasonably well. She may possibly have a mild heart murmur but because she was purring so loudly it was difficult to verify. She does have some thickening around the left side of the heart very early stages but nothing to be overly worried about at present. Both the murmur and the thickening of the left ventricle will be monitored with a follow up appointment scheduled for April of 2027. I am also monitoring her respiratory rate on an ongoing basis and if it gets above 40 I&#8217;m to  call the vet ASAP. regular repertory rate is 20-25 per minute.  It’s challenging to monitor a black cat for respiratory rate per the vet. I guess the color make it more challenging to see her breathing.  Thankfully she was cleared to have her dental procedure, which thanks to a cancelation will be this Thursday April 9.  I think God has been intervening for my sweet girl as I got into see cardiologist and for dental procedures very quickly both due to cancellations; otherwise wait to see Cardiologist Would  have been may or June pushing back her dental surgery until July or August. I filled out all the paperwork and sent it into waggle, for financial assistance to pay for Kaylanee’s dental &#x1f9b7; surgery, which could be any where from 2 &#8211; 3 thousand dollars 2 being on the low end. Serious increase in price since Sebastian had his surgery in 2022 and Ikivercin 2023. Total bill for both was about 2,000, low where. However since I just got the appointment for dental procedure yesterday and the surgery is this Thursday April 9, I’m not sure if I’ll get any money to offset the bill, with such short notice; since they pay the vet directly and the vet will want full payment when I pick her up after her procedure. It’s kinda scary financially because I’ve already spent about 2100 dollars in the 1 1/2 months I’ve had her as the pet insurance refused to pay for two of her claims saying they were pre existing. They did thankfully pay for the cardiology&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-73378"><a href="https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/activity/p/73378/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

					<span>Happy heavenly birthday, Oliver! 
It’s hard to believe that one year ago today Sebastian and I had to suddenly say goodbye to you.  This picture was taken in the morning the day before I said goodbye to you. We were both enjoying some one-on-one lap time together, then about six hours later you apparently through an undiagnosed blood clot.  I know your last hours before you crossed the rainbow bridge were agonizingly painful for both you and I.  I’m sorry for that. I know you’ve long forgotten that pain and trauma, but it’s not something I will soon forget. I miss you so much Oliver and your sweet brother Sebastian, who died almost 10 months to the day I had to say goodbye to you suddenly and unexpectedly too.  Like you he appeared fine one day and the next he was quickly going downhill. I’m glad the two of you are once again reunited and I look forward to the day When I will once again be reunited with you both, along with Kovu, Morgaine, Eragon, Spirit, Autumn Ranger,Saraya, Kalina, and Freyja.  I’m trying to focus and remember the good times we had together rather than the painful goodbye so I want to share one of my favorite memories of you. When I went to do my pre-adoption visit with you and Sebastian at the SPCA. The staff suggested I do a crate visit with you both as your brother was so frightened and timid.   You were sitting protectively in front of your brother, who was as far back in the crate as he could get.  When  I reached my arm into Pet you both, you immediately placed your paw over my arm and began to lick my hand. I knew at that point that we were meant to be, and that you Oliver had chosen to adopt me as your new human mom for you and your brother. While writing this makes me feel sad, the memory also brings much joy to my heart, knowing that I was able to provide a loving forever home to you and Sebastian, even if the time I had with both of you was way too short. </span>

I’m glad to hear that Annie doesn’t have C.  Cats are interesting creatures and manage to hide things real well.  My Sebastian went from appropriate kidney values for his age in late July, 2025 to stage 4 kidney failure 6 months later.  I will continue to pray for you and  Annie. </span>

				<a href="https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/members/10fluffytails/">Berni</a> posted an update Annie update:  her urine culture came back positive for E. Coli, not an extreme amount but enough to need an antibiotic. The main finding on the GI panel was an extremely low B-12 level. I’ll need to give her B-12 injections for about a month. I’m also keeping her on probiotics. After tossing almost a whole (expensive) box of Purina ProPlan FortiFlora due to expiration a few months ago I decided to try it.one more time. To my shock and awe she’s actually eating her food with it added, unlike last time when she practically starved herself rather than eat it. I swear her current meals are more powder than food at this point - prebiotic, probiotic, dental powder&#x1f605;! If none of that puts the brakes on the diarrhea then I’ll have to consider the endoscopy. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how her labs didn’t detect the low B-12 level before, and that it could be what’s causing the chronic diarrhea, but I guess that’s better than dealing with the “C” word. The vet also said that there’s always the possibility of the benign liver nodule developing into something more at some point but for now it’s not a major problem. So I’m just waiting to get the prescriptions to start the “getting a pill into Annie” rodeo.			]]></content:encoded>

					<span>Thank you Toni, you are a genius!  I called the vet today because needed to see if I was able to get more Nausea Meds, for Kaylanee, as Wednesday’s seem to be the day she likes to give me back all her food, and heaven forbid, she throw up on the floor vs., the carpet! So gonna start being proactive and giving her nausea meds Wednesday morning with her breakfast. Any way while talking to the receptionist, I asked if I could get a vet tech appointment for April 2, after seeing the cardiologist, success! I have one about 30 minutes after I finish with the cardiologist.  The Cardiologist, is unable to do it because, she’s not an official vet at this practice, she just sees patients there 1/2 x per week.  THANK YOU,  however, Toni for the suggestion.  Ironically enough despite giving me back all her supper and than some last night, she thankfully didn’t turn down the second churro, I put her nausea meds in and she lapped it all up. I just crushed it and mixed it in. It was funny to watch her however, because she knew it tasted different. Today she’s back to eating, like normal. &#x1f601;</span>

I got off the phone with my vet about an hour ago. The good news is he didn’t see anything serious.  He did notice, thickening of the intestinal wall.   I’ve got a vet tech appointment on 4/17 for a blood test that needs to be sent to Texas AM, that will let us know if it is irritable bowel syndrome or possible pancreatic issues? I’ve been down this road before for this particular blood test as Oliver had to have it once a year for his IBD.  If that fails to produce any results, then there’s some other tests that we will look into providing the insurance company will cover all of her health challenges.  In the mean time I will keep her strictly on the Hills Biome diet, as it’s for gastrointestinal issues, which thankfully she’s eating. She also gained a 1/4 lb which is good too.  Now I just need to hope and pray the insurance covers all of this and doesn’t find an excuse to tell me it’s a preexisting condition, which technically they shouldn’t since all her pre illness blood work came back  good. Her next appointment is 4/2 with the cardiologist. I’m not to concerned with this appointment, as the vet said it wasn’t urgent for her to see the cardiologist , as her heart blood test was just a little elevated but I wanted it sooner rather than later, so hopefully she will be cleared for her much needed dental surgery.  While I’m still not sure exactly what’s wrong with Kaylanee, I feel hopeful, that I will be able to spoil her for a good long time, since she was rescued from an abuse situation.  			]]></content:encoded>

She did well and thankfully was cooperative.  Shes’s definitely a much better patient than I am.  I was a nervous wreck all morning waiting for the vet to call me, so I’d be able to go pick her up.  While I may not have the results of the ultrasound, until Friday, possibly sooner, it depends on how many ultrasounds he did today and how many reports he then has to write up to send to individual vets, I’m feeling a lot less stressed, as she’s back home with me and acting her usual friendly self. I will update everyone on the results, when I hear from my vet.  			]]></content:encoded>

Thankfully she’s doing reasonably well since I had to take her into the vet on 3/13 for an emergency visit. She’s eating like she’s starving and thankfully no digestive issues.

<div class="rtmedia-activity-text">Thank you to everyone who commented on the unexpected and sudden passing of my Sebastian.  While I’m still hurting and greatly feeling his loss, I know he’s in a better place united with his bonded brother Oliver and the many other fur babies I’ve had to say  good bye to since the early 2000s.  In the past 3 1/2 years alone I’ve said good bye to 7.  I still can’t believe Saraya has been gone 3 years this past January and Oliver’s 1st heavenly birthday will be March 29.  I try not to focus on their passing but rather on the good memories but sometimes it’s so hard.<br />
I know this may seem<br />
Crazy but because I suffered so many losses over the past 10 months,I’ve been seeing the needles, that the vet uses to help them cross the rainbow 🌈 bridge in my thoughts and I’m not sure how to get rid of this painful image.  I’ve never really had any phobias that I’m aware of before and I really don’t want to start having one now but I’m really struggling to get this image out of my mind&#8230;.</div>

					<span>My heart is shattered into a million pieces.  I unexpectedly had to say good bye to my Sebastian today. . This is the 4th cat I’ve lost in less than a year, all of them sudden and 3 unexpected. Sebastian appeared “normal” at his semi annual wellness exam, on Thursday, then Thursday night Friday, he just stopped eating and drinking and by Sunday was vomiting white foamy liquid to often to count. Got an emergency appointment with my vet at 9:00 this morning and blood work showed Kidney failure, suspected pancreatic cancer and urinalysis showed UTI, very unusual in male cats ,  among other issues.  Doing further tests I was told really wasn’t t going to improve his chances, so I made the heart wrenching but compassionate and right  choice to let him go, so he wouldn’t suffer anymore.  I’m very thankful, that I had all day Saturday with him, I usually have to dog sit, as we were able to have lots of lap time and cuddle time together. By Sunday he wasn’t interested in being with me very much.  Since Sebastian had lost his bonded brother Oliver, last March, he started to become a less timid more self confident cat, who when  his younger fur siblings were not around, loved to sit in my lap. I will miss him coming  to look for me when I was home when I was home. It was his way of saying why aren’t you sitting? I want to sit on your lap.  The photos of Sebastian were taken by me before I let him go.  Sebastian, my little lap buddy, the house will be so quiet with out you.  You will be dearly missed but now you are reunited with your bonded brother, Oliver, your sweet toothless, gentle, Kalina, who, while she was only with us a short time, I know the two of you developed a special bound. While you and Freyja, much to my chagrin, never really got along, she’ll be there to welcome you too, to Rainbow Bridge!  Run free my sweet little Sebastian.  Sebastian is the orange/ginger kitty , Kalina is the tiger cat and Freyja, “queen” of the castle is the tuxedo cat.  </span>

Our kind community is here to both celebrate and remember with you. If you haven\'t shared with us for awhile, please do - we love to hear your updates. 
I hope the New Year is a wonderful one for you and yours.

				<a href="https://www.faithfulfriends.com/social/members/momee/">Maureen</a> posted an update My Romeo,
Today is 3 years ago that you said goodbye, and my heart is still broken and forever will be.  I miss you every single minute of every single day and life without you is just not the same.  I am still so sad!  I know that time is supposed to heal everything,  but I don\'t believe it will ever heal this. The pain of losing you that awful morning will never leave me.  Time softens that a bit, but it never, ever goes away.  I will love and miss you forever, my boy!  Hold on to that piece of my heart you have until we are together again.
Love,
Mommy
