Quote: David - my XH thinks that my animals are spoiled...they are my children. He wouldn't care if he died or not...he's always been like that. Once, at our house, I had a party and there were lots of people; I went outside to call my cats and one didn't come...then, I saw him by someone's tire - they ran over its' head. So, I brought him inside, told my H, the party was over - everyone had to leave - then I went to get a sheet to wrap him up in, so my H would then bury him. No, the H says, I'll do it tomorrow. Well, standing there with tears running down my face - I said you will do it now, or I will. So, everyone that was male went out back to dig a hole with my H, the ladies just stayed with me until the hole was deep enough. Then, I placed him in it and covered him up...but I stayed there for most of the evening. The party went on and my H came out and said you're not being a good hostess...so then I said, one of your F#####g, friends, backed over my cat, just how do you propose me to be a hostess...get rid of everyone, I want them out of here...now. So, they left, after one by one, they offered sympathies to me...my very rocky marriage began to falter.
Anyway, he has an appt at the vet for saturday - for eutha- nasia...if he continues down...
Awww Geez 1210.... I can't imagine what that must have been like. I know how hard it's been for me when our cats were ailing. And w/ the first one XW picked me up at work on a break, we went to the vets together, she dropped me off back at work(!!!!) and then took him home. We all buried him that afternoon. I'll not go into particulars about my job... suffice it to say it's safety related and I have to concentrate!; I have NO idea how I functioned that day! Esp. coming on the heels of FIL's cancer diag.
Please take care of YOU! Know that Cheddie has some other cat lovers thinking of him. And FWIW, I don't blame you one bit about being pi$$ed at the partygoers and wanting them to leave. I worry about our cats, esp. D15's new cat that likes to go out. Came home one day and she was sitting on top of the house roof... 40 feet up!
