Simply Sad

Hello

If you have read my blog for a while you may have seen pictures of my beloved cat Tank.  I have two cats Tank and Earl, Tank was definitely the "momma's boy" and Earl playful and more independent.  I got them both about 5 years ago for a shelter in Northern Wisconsin -  I wanted 2 cats so badly having never been able to have one growing up.

Earl on the left and Tank on the right

They are very good kitties - and anyone who ever met them commented on how calm and nice they are.  I talked about Tank more on the blog because he always sat next to me while I worked.  And so 2 nights ago I noticed he was breathing oddly and I had a bad enough feeling I took him to the vet first thing in the morning, the vet sent me to the emergency hospital and at 1:30pm today I had to put him down.  He had a very large aggressive tumor and it had taken over much of his intestine areas and caused his lung cavity to fill with fluid.  I am brokenhearted.  Earl seems to know I need a friend as he has been filling Tank's "spot" by my side all night.  I don't know that I will blog for a few days because I just can't sit in the spot and do my thing while the memory of him is so raw.  I loved that furry guy so much and he will be missed terribly.

  1. I'm very sorry you lost a dear friend. I hope you feel better soon, It's never easy losing a friend(with or without fur).

  2. I'm so, so sorry to hear this. Nothing hurts more than losing a friend and pets definitely count. I hope in time the pain lessens a little and you can smile at your happy memories of him. Tank and Earl look so snuggly together! <3 <3 Drop me a line if you need anything! From one cat lover to another <3 <3

  3. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Fur babies become very dear to our hearts and it's always so hard to say goodbye. My thoughts are with you! :D

  8. I'm so sorry Jasmine :( Losing a pet is like losing a family member. I used to have two cats and when one died it was so heartbreaking seeing the other cat grieve too :(
