shoemonster Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Our gorgeous fuzzbutt Nettie died today We came home and found her lying in the bathroom, and she was gone She was only about 4 years old, we've had her since she was about 18 months from the RSPCA She was never sick and nothing was ever wrong with her, we have no idea what happened but I am taking the other 2 to the vet tomorrow to get them checked over to make sure I think I am still in shock and OH is really in shock, she was his first cat, he always had dogs, and we got Nettie when we were at the shelter, and I wanted Blossom but he wanted Nettie, so we comprmised and got both of them lol We will miss her so much, she was a favourite of many of our friends and everytime I'm going to have to tell them it will kill me inside Nettie you will be sorely missed, especially by your wrestling buddy Blossom who will be lost without you Here is a recent thread oabout our nufty cat Nettie, we always thought there was something not quite right about her as she had shocking balance, and was just a bit simple, but so damn lovable http://forums.dogzonline.com.au/index.php?...=93207&st=0 I just don't know what to do, it hurts really bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilchick Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) yeah I know, I'm not even going to pretend i can understand what you are going through, I haven't had to go throught it yet, thankfully. But I can guarantee I would be incoherent! Just remember..... you guys were the best thing Nettie could ever hoped for from the day you picked her up from the shelter. You both did good! Even though her time with you guys was short, it was still full of adventure and love. Just what all animals need.

shoemonster Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thankyou Suz and I took Mort and Blos to the vet today, they got a perfect health check and we talked lots about Nettie and what could have happened to her The vet thinks that she may have had some kind of existing brain injury, which would account for all her lack of balance all the time we had her, and he thinks it may have been that she fell and landed badly or she may have had an aneurism or a seizure or something, being that she was an indoor cat, so he was pretty confident that it wasn't anything contagious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
