Goodbye Kibbie, 5/?/1990 - 1/16/2011
From: "Kyla =^ ..^="
Subject: OT OT: Goodbye Kibbie, 5/?/1990 - 1/16/2011 Date: Monday, January 17, 2011 4:39 PM Hi everyone: Just a note to let you know that SO and I have said goodbye to Kibbie, our 20-yo kitty, as of yesterday. What a sweet girl, and what a trooper. It happened suddenly (if anything like this can, with a 20-yo), beginning Saturday morning. I picked her up for some cuddles Saturday morning, and she was purring and head-butting and asking for kisses as usual. I put her down so SO and I could have breakfast, and she wandered off to "meatloaf kitty" by herself, again usual. After breakfast, she was doing some plaintive meowing (again, usual behavior for the past year or so), so I picked her up again for more cuddles -- only this time, she didn't know who I was. Physically about the same as usual, but mentally just completely not there at all. She was okay with me holding her for a little bit, but didn't seem to react to me at all. As the day went on it was just clear she was "gone" mentally. She stayed physically strong and wanted to simply wander, to the point where we couldn't put her in the carrier to calm her because it was too small and I was afraid she would hurt herself trying to move around. So SO built her a safe enclosure out of some boxes that was big enough for her to move as much as she wanted to without hurting herself but would still keep her safe, and I put some towels and a shirt I'd worn in there, for comfort. Every so often I'd go pet and talk to her, or try to get her to drink or eat or use the litterbox, but there was no change. She slept fitfully and wandered throughout the night. Yesterday we found a wonderful local vet who came in and met us at his clinic. He thought she'd probably suffered a small stroke that had mental but not physical effects, hence the instant change in behavior. She was still so physically strong (at almost 21 years old!) that he had to sedate her before he gave her the final shot. And then we said goodbye. We will miss our sweet, incredibly strong and brave girl. Kiri and Mollie, our other two kitties, are being extra cuddly today, and we're so glad we have them. -- Kim Olson Kim, I am so sorry to hear about about Kibbie, I will put up a Candle site for her here and on RPCC as well. She had a great life with you and you loved her and she loved you back and that's what matters. Purrs from our kitties for her safe trip to Rainbow Bridge, and for your broken heart. Love Kyla (((((((Kim))))))) |

I'm glad that Kibbie lived a long full life, and that when she had to leave for the Bridge, she didn't suffer for a long time, like so many cats do. When a cat gets to be as old as Kibbie was, each and every day is a gift. Kibbie is at the Bridge now, waiting for you and your SO. |
