3 months without my Sophie
I was 30 weeks pregnant when I had to suddenly put down my Sophie. I still cry and I don’t know how I’m going to go the rest of my life without her. I was overseas for 2 years before she passed because of the military. When I came back, I bought a home and she was only with me for 6 months. I feel really guilty I left her behind with my parents but I knew it was best for her. She stopped eating suddenly and I couldn’t get her to eat. The vet said it could be lymphoma or a gi issue. I decided to end her suffering rather than put her through getting a feeding tube. I feel guilty because maybe she would have gotten better. She was 14 when she passed and I always thought she was younger due to the shelter paperwork but when we looked at her original records she was older. I thought she would live til like 20 years old like my childhood cat. I went to the vets all the time, gave her all the specialized food and medicine and it wasn’t enough. I feel bad because I feel 14 is young for a cat to pass away. Funny story when I first adopted her I had to wear earplugs because her meows were so loud I couldn’t sleep. Now I have my newborn on my chest typing this but I’m sad Sophie never got to meet him. And now she is in a box in my bedroom. It is hard to understand.
