My Mum lost her Kitty yesterday.

On Tuesday she got in touch, telling me her Kitty was sick. She had taken her to the vet and X-rays revealed a mass near her stomach. Susanville is a small town so they refered her to a Vet Hospital in Reno. She took her down and the ultrasound and additional xrays were promising, the mass wasn't attached to her stomach. So they began surgery to remove it. This is when things got bad...they found that it was entertwined with Kitties intestines and was inoperable. On top of that she had Peritonitus (it was secreting a poison into her system). Mom had to make the decision to have her euthanized while still under anesthesia. I guess cats are notorius about not showing symptoms for ailments until it is almost too late.

Its going to be a tough thing for her, she was very attached to her Kitty. I used to joke that she was going to become the crazy cat lady down the street.

Its a little ironic I had just read the "Choosing Tears" poem on here the other day.

Give your pets a squeeze tonight and be glad for the time you have with them.

Aww, I'm sorry for your Mum's (and your) loss.

I'll rub Mulligan an extra time or two for Kitty.
That's very sad. I'm not sure if it is harder having time to say goodbye or being caught by surprise. Either way, I'm very sympathetic.
I'm very sorry about your mum's kitty.
I'm very sorry for your and your mom's loss. :cry:
I'm so sorry for your mum's and your loss.
:cry: Poor kitty! I'm so sorry for your mom's loss.
Please share my expression of sorrow with your Mom. It is such a loss :(
Thats so sad. Im sorry..Panda will get extra hugs too!
So sorry for the loss... FIP is a horrible thing, a quick killer... there is nothing that could have been done.
I am very sorry to hear of your Mum's loss. :(
Milo, Noel and I went home this wekend and my Mum is doing better, still sad but better. I relayed all of your sentiments to her and she thanked everyone and was really touched. To help cheer her up I showed her a bunch of Sheepie pics from the site! Plus, Milo gave her some Sheepie kisses. She is going to wait a while, but has already said she will eventually get another kitty, she misses the company at the house.

Thanks again for your kind thoughts, they really helped!!! :D
My condolences to your Mum.
Yes, unfortunatly our kitties are pretty stoic when it comes to pain and by the time you notice anything it's a big problem.

I hope your mother feels better soon and remembers all the good times that they had together. I also hope that she enjoys her new kitty cat when she gets one.
