So my cat passed away early this morning. He was recently diagnosed with Feline Leukemia and although he hadn't shown many symptoms I have know for a while that he has not been feeling 100%. I got home from a 14 hour work shift to find him gasping for air and writhing around on the floor. I immediately grabbed him and jumped in my car, only to realize the closest 24 hour vet was almost 30 miles away. I had him on my lap as I drove way too fast, half watching the road and half watching the color drain from his face as he turned blue. I managed to give him CPR for the last 10 miles of the drive, keeping him conscious but by no means healthy. I spent the next 7 hours watching him struggle to breathe in an oxygen tent, hooked up to a catheter, waiting to get results and what my options were. This was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced, seeing someone you love in immense pain and being totally unable to alleviate it. At 4 am I had to call it quits, I couldn't stand to see him in such pain and I knew he was ready to move on and say goodbye. I held his paws and kissed his head as the needle went into the catheter. As I felt his paws go limp and his head slouch down I immediately was overwhelmed with sadness, regret, grief, and loneliness. I called off of work today and drove his body to his favorite camping spot in a national park. I spent the past 10 hours building and tending a funeral pyre, all the while going back and forth between tears and smiles as I remembered how much he has done for me in six years I have owned him. Cremating him was a grueling, hot, and intense experience but most importantly it helped me deal with my grief in a natural and cathartic way. Although I already miss him lots and am still upset, more then anything I am grateful for the time I have been able to spend with him and the ability to send him to the great beyond with the respect and honor he deserves. He may have just been a cat, but he was human enough to be of great comfort and joy to me. Rip paul, may the rivers flow with fancy feast wherever you are |
