About an hour ago, I had just put Scott to sleep. I went to the bathroom and was sitting on the pot reading a book. I heard a loud thud at the door (which was open). I turned to see my cat MILO, recooperating from hitting the door. My first thought was "holy crap! He hit the door again! Moron!" Then he fell over. Didn't move. Then twitched. I thought he was having a siezure. I called out his name a few times. He stopped moving. I got up and went to him. He just lay there. Motionless. Not breathing. No heartbeat. Limp. Lifeless.
I don't know what happened man. I really don't. It could be a heart attack. Could be he had a siezure. (He was a huge, unhealthy cat after all) He may have hit the door while running and it triggered a siezure. Or maybe he's been having siezures for a long time and we never saw him do it. I really do not know.
All I know now is that my friend is dead. And I cannot stop crying. I'm just beside myself rght now. I'm waiting for Kelly to come home from work. She already knows about it and is as broken up as I am right now. We got Milo together. He was our cat. Not our oldest, but a great one.
He was a "special" cat. In that we always thought he was a tad slow in the head. He always had this dumb look on his face. He did odd things that I've never seen any other cat do. And that, made him special to me. I'm gonna miss all of those things. I cannot even start to rattle them off right now. Maybe later. But right now, I'm waiting for Kelly to get home. We're gonna sit with him and have a "funeral" for him. As stupid as it sounds. but I don't know any other way to deal with this.
Tomorrow we're gonna see if any local vet will open on a sunday and cremate him. if not, we'll have to wait till monday. Burying him is out of the question because we just rent an apartment here. And I'd kind of like him to go with us, if and when we do move away.
I guess I'll post more about this later. But for now, I'm sharing just a small bit of pics of him. More to come.
