RIP Marbles

My beloved Marbies died last sunday.

I haven't posted about it yet because I guess I wasnt ready or something?

She lived for 13 years, quite long for a cat!

She died of Kidney failure :(

For months I was agonising over the fact that she was losing weight. Id feed her as much as I could, but she would just vomit it all up.
Last Sunday she came home with black snot all around her mouth, I bought her over to the water bowl and she tried to drink it but she couldn't.
We took her to the vet, and they said that she couldn't eat or drink any longer, no matter what we did, because she had Kidney Disease and her mouth was all blistered.

Dont feed your cat dry food because this causes kidney failure, not exactly how smoking causes cancer, but it makes the kidney work harder because its all dehydrated.

Anyways So Im 19, and so she was with me since I was 6!

I love her so much, I couldnt control myself when she was getting put to sleep.

She was the runt of her family, and that just made her that much more special.

I feel so empty and hollow when I think about her, but also I remember all the times she made me happy, or all the times I was crying and she was there.

I know that I might seem stupid, but literally whenever I was upset she somehow managed to be there??

She was so gorgeous. Still is.

Rest In Peace Marbles.

Visit your Sister Sooty in Heaven :)

Aw I'm so sorry, that's so sad :(

She looks like a lovely little cat. Hope you're holding up ok :)

I had a gorgeous black and white cat called Miffy when I was younger, he'd been there since I before I was born and he had to be put down when I was about 10, I was so upset. Still miss him to this day and I'm nearly 23!

Just remember the good times :) xx

Im sorry, thats so sad! We had a cat that my mum got before i was born so she was older than me but died when i was 13. You just have to cherish the moments you had, at least she isnt suffering anymore :(

Alexandra said...

Oh no!!! =( Your poor little baby! I didn't know that about dry cat food, but I've always heard just feeding your cat wet food does something bad to their teeth? Maybe it's best to mix the two? I'll have to do some research but anyway I'm so sorry about marbles...

R.I.P. little kitty

I'm sorry about your loss. May she rest in peace.

What you said about Marbles always being there when you were down, no, it didn't sound stupid at all. I had similar experiences with my dog and yes, somehow she knew she should be there to comfort me! :)

That's so sad. I've had my cat for almost as long as I can remember.. I'm always paranoid we are going to lose her as I feel she's getting older but I need to stop it because she is fine!
Cats are precious, I understand how sad you must feel because they're not just a pet they're a companion. xox

Aww, honey, that's really sad. I swear this made me really upset too, I totally understand you...I have a dog and she's there for me when I'm upset, like she's sending good vibes and supporting you silently...
Cheer up, sweetie. You did a good thing by ending her pain, as harsh as that sounds =(

This made me so sad :( I don't know what I'll do when my baby Lola goes to kitty heaven, she's only 3 but still. I know what you mean about Marbles being there when you were upset, my cat does the same thing is really something special that they just "know" when you need them. <33

Btw I didn't know that about dry food, I'll have to stop feeding her that now. Thanks!
