Today I had to put my dear little mz_bunny to sleep.
I could use some hugs...

She was 13. Over the past 24-36 hours her breathing became extremely labored.

I took her to the vet & he said in order to find out the exact causes it would cost me about $600.00.

She only had one working lung. It all came on so suddenly!
He also said he felt that due to her age I made the right choice, because even after running all the tests, he may not be able to help her. He thought if she was 3 or 4 years old it might be different, but not at her age.

She had a good life & I will miss her terribly, but I just couldn't even imagine how horrid it must be to only have one lung to breath with. So I sent her to Kitty Heaven.

I'm just sad. Not devastated like I was when Mr. Nibbs left this earth - just sad.

Here are a few pics of her being her & her 'modelling career.'

That's so sad, Leisa. At least she was lucky to enjoy a long and happy life with such a loving owner.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your dear little mz bunny. She looks adorable. You have definitely done the right thing. It's terrible to see them suffering.

I've had cats all my life and they become part of your family. I lost my darling cat Charlie when she was 18. Her breathing became laboured and she was so very thin - she just faded away. When I took her to the vet, they tried giving her oxygen but I didn't want them to revive her. I wanted her to go peacefully. Keeping them alive for the sake of it is selfish when they are suffering so much.

You have your memories and lovely photos. She'll always be there in your heart. :)
 
Thank you so much (everyone).

I'm pretty much "okay" with it, but I get teary when I read these messages. Y'all are all so sweet.

Last night was hard because every time I was just on the edge of sleep I would - subconsciously - reach out to pet her in the spot she always slept in by me. Then I'd wake all the way up 'cause it would hit me she wasn't there & wasn't gonna be there ever again.

It's just going to take time. Thanks for reminding me to take it 'One Day at a Time' too.

Ya know - I just want to add...

When I snatched her out of that snow drift on my back porch (Tennessee) she was about 6 months old and totally feral. It took me another 6 months to box train her & get her feeling 'comfy' around me.

She grew up to be a happy cat & very lovable with me. She was always a little bit of a nervina around other folks, though, and as she was raised with two boy cats who picked on her a lot, she developed a huge dislke for other cats once she became the only child.

But, she liked dogs & wasn't the least bit afraid of them. She & Sugar, who is a BIG German Shepherd, got along just fine.

She was awfully cute & funny. I'm lucky to have had her for as long as I did. And I know in my heart she had a good life with me. So, really, it's all good.

In cat years, she was 83. I doubt I'll live that long & I sure as heck won't have anyone feeding me, giving me treats, brushing me, & "petting" me on a daily basis. :-)
