We will miss you Lucky!

April 6, 2009

What a very sad day! Today Lucky (our most wonderful cat) lost his fight with kidney failure. Last month I noticed that he was looking a bit thin and didn't look like he felt like his usual self. He wasn't eating his cat food and just drinking a lot of water. He also just stayed on the bathroom floor, not getting on my bed or the couch. He just wanted to lay around on the floor close to his water. I took him to the vet and she ran some tests on him. She told us that his kidneys were failing. She said there is no cure, but with a special diet, we could see if that would help. Unfortunately, it didn't help for long. He ate the special diet for a few weeks, but then what seemed like over night, he just took a turn for the worse.

In my whole life, I have never had a cat like Lucky. He was a gift to the girls from their grandma (unbeknown st to me) a couple of years ago. He let the girls carry him around upside down, wrapped around their shoulders, in baskets, anything they wanted. He just loved to be with the girls. He also wanted to be Kaiser's best friend. Even though Kaiser would paw and gnaw on Lucky, Lucky still tried to let Kaiser know that he was just a cool cat. Lucky loved to catch mice and birds! He was such a good hunter! Although finding his trophies was a bit gross, I was happy to never have to worry about having mice in the house!

We are comforted in knowing that he is no longer in pain. He is waiting for us in Heaven. I know he misses us also, he lived to make our lives happy, and he did. We miss you, Lucky, so much! We will always remember you and think of you often. You will live forever in our hearts and thoughts.
