So sorry for your loss, I think we must all know how hard it is to lose a
beloved cat, or any pet, but yourknee does feel particularly empty when you lose a lap cat, condolences, and hugs, Jean.P. Dick C wrote in message 36... CATherine wrote in rec.pets.cats.anecdotes On Sat, 30 Oct 2004 17:06:54 -0500, Dick C wrote: I haven't posted here in a long time, although I do check in an read sometimes. Last night, when I went to bed, Shroder was fine. This morning he was in the closet, where he never goes. He came out and laid around all day. We took him to the vet at 2:00 pm, and then the vet called shortly after we got home. He had passed away. The vet said he had Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. In other words, he had an undiagnosed heart disease, and apparently had a heart attack and died. We are, to say the least, in shock. How shocking for you. I am so sorry. I remember you writing about Shroder. I hope you can take comfort that he did not suffer a long illness. Believe me, keeping yourself very, very busy helps against the bereft feeling. I lost my beloved Amber in August. Even with three cats, I still am lonely for Amber. My sympathy and understanding to you. Purrs, Thanks to all of you, it is rather lonely around here, even though we still have another cat. Shroder, however, was a person cat, he used to jump up on my lap for attention, and would always come up on the bed with my wife and I at bedtime, and a time or two during the night, he would come around and wake us with his purring. Plus, he always woke me up in the morning, my own alarm cat.
