    Today, while serving the cats their dinner, I spied Sweet Tea laying by the main feeding station. I called her name and when she did not respond, I got that sinking feeling. I checked and yes my beloved Sweet Tea was indeed dead.

     

    I have not a clue as to what happened. She was only ten years old, a bit "fluffy" but not sick in any way. In fact she enjoyed treats last night. She was the friendliest of the cats and often groomed the other cats. There were no signs of trauma, it looked like she collapsed in mid-step.

     

    I am attaching three pics. One is the day she was born along with her siblings. Another is of her as a kit, she's the one all the way to the right. And one of her taken last spring in my herb garden. That is the spot her body will be laid to rest.

     

    R.i.P. Sweet Tea. I will miss her more than words can say!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I know some people say its just a pet and is replaceable, but I don't agree. Every pet is special and precious, and I'm sure she was that to you. Once again, I am sorry for your loss :(

    I'm very sorry :( I'm sure she lived a great life with you. Even though she wasn't that old, it sounds like she passed away the best way a cat can go, without disease or a violent cause and surrounded by cat friends.

    So sorry to hear... (((hugs)))

     

    I know this isn't really what you want to think about, but if you have other pets in the home, you may want to take Sweet Tea in for a necropsy; in case she got into something poisonous you don't want any other pets suffering the same fate.

    I'm really sorry for your loss. It always heartbreaking to lose a furbaby, especially one who is extra special to you. 

     

    **I'm glad Abbyful suggested it, because I didn't want to bring it up first. But if it would give you any comfort knowing what happened, it is an option. (Although I think some kind of toxicity is less likely.) But regardless, I am truly sorry and I know Sweet Tea will be missed.

    I am so sorry. This is such a hard thing to go through and I know there are no words to make you feel better. She was a beautiful cat and looks like she had a wonderful life. I'm glad that you never had to witness her in pain or sick and that that up until the last moment she enjoyed her life and her treats.

    So sorry about your cat, it is so painful to lose a pet you love. I'm sure you gave her an amazingly happy life, she was lucky to have an owner who cared about her so much.
