    Goodbye Hudson

    Some of you may remember my thread about my cat Hudson who had bladder issues this past winter... Well, after the PU surgery he had been fine, we thought we'd have a long happy life with him.

    Well... I've been mostly off line for a few days. I thought I might as well update.

    Until today I owned three wonderful cats. Hudson, the bratty boy of the group had been acting under the weather a few days (two to be exact) but not SERIOUSLY under the weather (and his peeing was normal,he was eating, just a bit...slower then usual and now thinking back on it his bathing habits were seriously less then they'd been). I figured I'd better get him an appointment and was planning on doing so in the morning. I came home to find him unconscious and unresponsive. Before I was able to get through to an emergency vet he'd convulsed twice and was gone...
    My animals are very important to me. I'm kicking myself so much for not just taking him in the moment I thought he seemed off. I still am shocked at how a little under the weather turned into this.
    I'm having him cremated... the apartment is far too quiet without him. I keep looking for him. When I open the door to come in after work I look and see if he's with Cooper and Shiloh to beg for dinner, and when I turn on the shower I keep expecting him to run up and watch the water run like he did. And before bed is the hardest because he's the only cat I ever knew that would give kisses. I miss him a lot.
    My two other boys have an appointment on Wednesday to get checked out, they're acting fine but I wouldn't be in very good shape if I lost another one especially with Ryan on deployment.

    So, that's where I disappeared to.

    Awwww Mel, I'm so sorry to read about his passing. It's so hard to lose an old friend like this but it's not unusual for older cats to suddenly go down fast like this. Robin just went through it and my old female cat went like that too. She wasn't bad for an old cat one day and obviously critically ill the next. I spent a lot of time kicking my butt for missing something but in the end, the best you can really do, the best tribute to them, is to remember and appreciate wonderful years they share our lives.

    Bad thing is he wasn't old. Hudson would be two this fall. Thank you for the wonderful message though.

    I'm so sorry Mel. It's always hard to lose a beloved pet. My thoughts are with you.

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand

    So sorry for your loss of Hudson.
    I lost my only kitty in January and she loved water too! She always came running when she heard the shower or the washing machine.

    Melissa,

    It's never easy not matter the age. Having just said goodbye recently to my last kitty, I feel your sorrow.
