Monty has crossed the Rainbow Bridge

[Kleiber]

I'm crying as I write this - my wee man died at 10.50h this morning. We've just buried him, next to the summer house, which was his favourite spot. K

[sara3]

awhh.. I don't even know who Monty is but I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

I love the whole Rainbow Bridge thing, so hopefully Monty will be with all his friends x

[Kleiber]

Thanks, sara - he was my little ginger cat, two and a half years old and he's been ill, but we all thought he was on the mend. The vet phoned last night to say he was doing fine and I was just waiting for a call from her this morning to say I could go and bring him home. She phoned at 11a.m. to say that he'd died. I'm absolutely devastated.

Oh Kleiber, any post where someone has lost a beloved pet brings tears to my eyes. I am so so sorry for your loss.

Why not buy a nice plant or shrub for where he is and call it your "Monty Plant". I did that with a cat I lost - a lavendar bush and when I moved out, cut some of it. It's still on my dresser to this day.

Oh Kleiber - I am so sorry - am crying too for Monty and for you - Bless him and bless you. He was much loved and he would have known that. - now he's resting in his favourite spot. He will always be with you xxxxxx

I am stunned by your post - I felt that I actually knew the wee lad. I am so sorry that this has happened to such a young cat.

My heart goes out to you - I would be devastated if this happened to one of my two little thugs.

Love and hugs from me and the kitties.

aww Kleiber i know how you feel, my 15 year old ginger tom cat was put to sleep 3 days ago and i miss him so so much its heartbreaking.

[madboutcats]

honky-tonk this ((((hug)))) is for you.

[Kleiber]

I'm so grateful for all your lovely replies. Wolf, I know that Frankie & Monty had a special friendship and I, too, just can't believe my little lad has gone. He was so young - if he'd have been an old cat, then I could've accepted it better even though that would have broken my heart too, (honkytonk, I feel for you as well). The vet said he was doing fine last night, but this morning his electrolyte levels were all over the place and the reason she didn't ring me earlier was that she was fighting to save his life and she didn't want to leave him. She said she didn't know why this had happened and she'd only known of one other cat like this and he had feline infectious peritonitis (there's no preventative measures we can take against that and there's little likelihood of a cure). I was offered a post-mortem, and half of me agreed that it would be a good thing, because then I'd know why he died and it might help to prevent this happening in another cat. But half of me said, "no" - I just wanted to bring his little body home to bury. I'm so sad - he was born here and he wasn't really meant to stay, but he did and it's such a shame that he was only with us for a short while. There will always be little ginger paw prints on my heart. K

Awwww, so sorry to hear this sad news, Kleiber. I didn't even know young Monty and my eyes are leaking now. I know how I felt when my first two feline friends went to that great big hearth in the sky so .... {{{{{big hugs}}}}}
