Hey you guys,
Last election day my 11yr old cat frisky passed away. I got a call the day before about frisky having just came in after 3 days and could barely stand. I drove down and took him home with me to be cared for.
Election day had my vet's clossed so I did what I could for 2 days trying to help him. He had lost weight enough that his bones showed on his back but he is still a 20lb cat with lots of furr. He breathed with a hackle and has gook in his eyes and nose.
I ended up putting him in a carrier with a humidifier machine with vicks to help him breath. It did..everytime he was put in he could breath softer. But by the end of the election day, He could no longer stand and would lay where I put him. And this was a cat that had never seen a sick day.
Even after every 2 hr feedings, breathing treatments, and using the free puppy pads i got at the ferret show (wipping him, etc), He passed just after a breathing treatment while i was making dinner. I had my freind on skyple while I prepped his soup, checked on him every 15 min. The last check up he had calmed down with his breathing and seemed to be at ease.
Abit of history: i got frisky when I was 10 from a cat rescue. He was this cute black shy kitten that was 6mths - 1yr. When i moved a yr ago, i left him with my parents. I regret leaving him because I almost forgot he existed. The last time I came down. He was laying in the grass and i walked up with a new jacket, new colored hair, all around different. I meowed at him as usual and he meowed back. Next moment we were having a moment of pets and kisses in the grass. My other cat ran off but frisky knew me no matter what. It made me cry. and now that he is gone, I wish I took better care of him.
so R.I.P bub. Go see Samuel, the cat that taught you everything, and sneaker for me.

I miss her incredibly but I know that she had a great, loving life with lots of cuddles and good food and that she is no longer in pain, and can move around like she hadn't been able to in years. I hope that you find some peace and comfort. Lighting a candle for you and your kitty <3
