He's gone. It's been a little over 24 hours. I was with him when he passed but I still keep expecting him to loudly push my bedroom door open and jump on my bed. But he's not here.
He was 8 and I've had him since he was only a few weeks old. I loved him so much but I failed him. He was my best friend and for the past year the only one I had for support in person.
It was a tough week. Last night was the third and final vet visit since Sunday. He had a urinary blockage on Sunday which I paid to fix and then he became blocked again two days later. I didn't really have much money to spare but I had him hospitalized yesterday anyway and try. He was my best friend, I couldn't let him go without a fight, even though I'm unemployed and my housing situation is not stable. (Thank you to the kind folks in the chat last night who talked the decision over with me when I had no one else to turn to) My cat was ill but the prognosis was hopeful at first. It was incredibly expensive but he was worth it. After some blood work, it turned out that my poor boy was very sick and had other long standing health issues before the blockage. I had to let him go. He was all I had and I failed him... I miss him so much.
