I had to have Henri put down this morning. I'm pretty sure it was undiagnosed kidney failure. He had been loosing weight over the last year or so. I took him to the vet for a checkup a few months ago. Blood and urine were normal. Last night, he barely came out for treats. And he didn't inhale them like he normally does. Then he peed in bed last night and went into hiding. I found him cowering in the back of one of the litter pans. He howled when I touched him. Then he howled whenever he moved. Then he peed on the floor. The vet is first come, first served, so I brought him in this morning. They moved me to the front of the line. He howled all the way to the vet. I couldn’t stand to see him in pain, and I knew that taking further measures likely wouldn't matter. So I let him go.

Rest in peace, Henri. You were the best orange kitty ever. I'll miss you .

That's just awful. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Really sorry to hear this, it’s truly the worst time in a pet lovers life.

@PunkKitty You did the right thing for Henri, but that doesn't take away your pain. Life sure can suck sometimes.

I’m not sure if I ever posted Hexe; she’s three years old now and I adopted her when she was three months old, which was a month after Ginsberg passed. Last year I added Annie to the house after my grandmother died. Hexe really loves Annie but the feeling is NOT mutual.
