Had to say goodbye to my soulcat unexpectedly
I wished I'd never have to write this. A year and a half ago I wrote about the sudden death of my 7 month old kitten but today I had to say goodbye to my 9 year old Norwegian forest cat.
She was my soulcat. I got her when I was 16. She lived with me and my parents. Then I went to college and she stayed at my parents untill 3 years ago when I moved into a cat friendly apartment. We were inseparable, she walked with me through the apartment. She slept with us in the bed. I went on walkies with her. She was just as crazy as me and we were crazy about each other.
We got a kitten after she'd lived with us for a year or 2 and then at 7 months Tommy ( the kitten) died very unexpectedly. Ever since I always told Poes that she had to make up for his short lifespan by reaching the age of 30 or so. Unfortunately she only reached 9.
This morning I heard a meow and commotion, I went to take a look and she was peddling with her paws, lying on her back and in a split second she died. It is probably HCM but with the death of our other cat not so long ago, I am taking her for necropsy.
