I have had spitzzy since he was 5 months old.My husband found him in a trash dumpster because some cruel person dumped some kittens.He was a mess and very wild I had to keep him in the shower for a couple of days because he had fleas and ear mites. I cleaned him all up and loved him and he repaided that love ten fold.He has been thru alot with me over the years and whether I was happy or sad he was always there to give me Sandpaper Kisses.He always waited for me when I came home from work and meowing until I gave him his treat and he continued until I feed the dogs. I always gave him his treats when he wanted and sometimes my husband would get so mad and say Spitzzy shut up and he knew I always gave in so he didn't stop meowing it was kind of funny.Well he has been sick since July and they have ran every test you can think of and no answers they suggested opening him up and looking and I said no. Our aniversary was Sept 1 so we took 4 days off and took Spitzzy camping with us. He was like his old self I think he just did that because he wanted me to have fun and stop worrying about him. Well a few weeks ago my husband noticed that he was really skinny and I also noticed that he wasn't eating but just licking the gravy from the wet food.I kept an eye on him and he looked really bad and his eyes squinted when I looked at him as if he were in pain.Last night I new it was time I cuddled with him most of the night and was petting his tail and I noticed he was wet. I turned on a light and he had diahrea all over his back side and it was rusty looking. I got a warm washcloth and cleaned him up he didn't even move like he would have if he was his old self. When I got up in the morning for work he was always the first one in the kitchen waiting for me to feed him but this morning he didn't come.I opened up his favorite canned tuna and gave it to him he lapped up a few bites of tuna and that was it. I have him resting in my bedroom with a litter box and water and food.He is so weak that when he trys to meow his voice is cracked its almost like he is too weak to meow.I just got off the phone with the vet to set it up because I don't want my PeEe to suffer anymore I told him if he wants to go now that it's ok. My husband won't go with me to the vet so I have to make this last journey with him by myself.I will not eat anything today because I will morn him too much. I will be in the room when they give him the shot he will look at me one last time and his beautiful green eyes will go black and then i will know he is in RainBow Bridge with Chimmey,,Bear,,Keta,,Kree.I will update this after his final journey is over and I stop crying.
