He’s been gone for a short time now. Possibly per week in the past? I’d should search for the precise date as a result of time blurs for me and I used to be grieving so exhausting for a time that I couldn’t even say it on this weblog.
I’m utterly and completely gutted and I really feel it should take me a very long time to get well. However sure issues give me consolation…
First, I do know we did every thing we might, and so did the vets. This brings me peace.
Second, he did undergo – I feel he had one thing alongside the strains of a coronary heart assault the day he handed, however I couldn’t and wouldn’t let him undergo for lengthy, so we rapidly rushed to the vet hospital to see him off and say our goodbyes, and we let him go as quickly as we heard phrase from the vet’s that they’d executed every thing of their energy however he was not getting any higher.
Third, he was very weak. We don’t know his age, however we thought he was very previous or not less than not in the perfect of well being even once we first met him after which took him in. We knew he can be the primary to go, and in case you advised me again when that he would reside this lengthy with us, I might have been proud of the end result.
I might be posting on right here much more within the upcoming days and weeks – each time I’m prepared to clarify the medical scenario in additional element, after which later when I’m prepared, posts which are an homage to him when I’m prepared to discuss his valuable little self when I’m at a degree the place it doesn’t really feel like agony to write down about him.
And I’ll replace you on the grieving course of as effectively, and the way it went, and all types of issues. However proper now, I’m simply going via the thick of it, so I’ll want a while to unravel earlier than I put myself collectively sufficient to speak extra about it right here.

Nothing and nobody will ever substitute Athos, and I’m heartbroken albeit the scenario taking part in out significantly higher than it might have.

It provides me quite a lot of peace to know that different cats are getting cherished additional exhausting by their pet homeowners within the title of Athos not being right here. And thanks for letting me share him and the way stunning his relationship with my different cats with you up to now, and into the longer term as effectively.
