Our cat...Trouble
So we've had our first cat since he was 6 wks old. We got him from Robin's sister when we lived in Homewood, MB and he was identical to my very first cat ever so I named him the same...Trouble.
He used to follow us when we'd walk the dogs at night - the neighbors thought it was hilarious. He also used to sleep on my pillow at night - mainly when Robin wasn't home...I'll miss him...but no more cats for me!
We first noticed something was wrong on Friday - he wasn't breathing right. By Saturday he was worse and we thought, oh ..this is it. Sunda morning we found him under Tamara's bed and he REALLY wasn't doing good so we called the vet's emergency number. He called us back just after lunchtime and said he'd be home at 2:15 and to bring him in. We kinda figured he wouldn't be coming home, but we held out hope. As soon as the vet saw him, he agreed he wasn't in good condition. He did an exam and listened to his chest and decided that he likely had fluid around his lungs and that's why he was breathing so weird. He said we could take him to Winnipeg and they could drain the fluid but it would just come back. So we made the decision to put him down. The vet said he wouldn't have made the night so we figured why make him suffer?
I thought I'd share some pictures of him throughout the years:
This one was taken at the vet's just before the injection:
