It was she passed away peacefully about 4.35 this afternoon- I checked on
her at 4.30 her breathing seemed a little laboured but she didn't appear
to be in pain I gave her a little skitchie and she purred. I went back
and told Dave "I don't think it'll be much longer" went back in and she'd
gone. She wasn't in pain, she died under the kitchen table where she liked
to sleep

I took her body to the local emergency clinic. They were very nice, said
it was plain she was a well loved cat. She'll be cremated as part of a
general cremation- the price difference will find it's way to Celia
Hammond in her memory.

Bonnie is looking for her all the time and crying

And so I once again sign myself

Yesterday afternoon I noticed Sarsi seemed a bit subdued but when Dreamies
were produced she perked up for a bit. She's been moulting heavily and I
wondered if perhaps she had a hairball-hence the anti-hairball Dreames. A
little later on when I was eating she came and had a look then went back to
bed. She slept through the night but she was drooling when she woke up

This morning she seemed very weak, she purred when held and seemed to
appreciate the Zoom Groom but when I put her down she seemed very unsteady
and disoriented.

I called the vet and it sounds like she's had a stroke. Vet feels to haul
her to the surgery or have someone come and prod at her wouldn't make a lot
of difference. She's not in any pain, she's curled up under the kitchen
table, wrapped in a blanket with a saucer of food and a bowl of water
nearby. She's barely breathing now but at least she's asleep and not in any
pain.

I can't believe it-she was fine yesterday morning.

I just went in to see her, her tail twitched slightly and she purred a
little when I stroked her. Dave keeps saying things like "That's a hopeful
sign"- he's in total denial. She's both ours heart cat and she's only 11- if
she gets better it will the BCT to top all BCT's ever!

So for probably the last time

Thanks every one for your kind messages. Funny I was okay for a few days then last night it really hit me and I haven't been able to stop crying since

Bonnie is still looking for her but less and less apart from at mealtimes. Although I may have given Bonnie the nickname of "Gannet" whenever the cats got fed she'd always wait for Sarsi to eat first before tucking in and every time I feed her she still waits in case Sarsi turns up

Dave says Bonnie is our last cat he's not going through this again. I'm more thinking she's only 3 so she might be okay with a kitten or a younger cat but with Dave ill at the moment it can wait- we'll see what the agency sends us
