*Lester love*
Feb. 8th, 2003 02:49 pmSo, this entry contains some bad news about my cat, Lester. Just a warning.
This morning, my mom came to wake me up ad tell me that Lester is in the hospital. He still hasn't been eating recently, and his rash hasn't gotten too much better.
The vets say now he probably won't make it.
Of course, he's one tough kitty. They tell us most cats wouldn't be alive at this point. And he's still hanging in there. So there's a chance - a small chance that they might find something they can treat. But that's not likely.
Mom was really upset and crying. I told her that it's better he goes when he's had a happy home with us, rather than his pitiful cage in the pet store.
She asked me if I'll want to say goodbye when we get definite news that he's going. I said yes, but I have an awful foreboding that I'll have to be running a show.
I really almost can't believe I might not have two kitties greeting me at the door when I come home from school next week.
Tiger loved snuggling with him. She will be so upset.

Date: 2003-02-10 07:31 pm (UTC)It's horrific. We are so attached to our pets, and when they die... It's just like a good friend going. Perhaps more, because we are so close. Remember the Rainbow road. If he must go, I pary he'll pass easily. *hugs again*
