Hi 8)
@all:
Sorry that I didn't write sooner. There was and still is birthday preparations, which go very slowly, because parallel I need to take the cat to the veterinary quite often now. She is living her last days. :'(
Her kidneys are very bad and her liver isn't better. There is cat- pee everywhere in the house and also sometimes little brown things that are not chocolate.
She can't walk straight any more, is very weak and doesn't eat and drink well. We'll see how she is during the weekend.
We are very sad and hope he can go without too much suffering.
On Monday I will get some more medicine and then we'll see.
Dina:
((((PD)))) Hi!
@Regenbogen. thank you!
I am sorry to hear about your cat. My last cat, who died many, many years ago, had kidney failure in the end too. Apparently he was in not pain and it was more or less quick. It was very sad too, we loved him so much. But it is the circle of life and so on. The only thing you can do is make her feel comfortable and loved, so she can go to rest happily. The memories will be always with your family. I am sending you a big, big hug. I am sure you need one.

Hi @all.
I told you about our old and sick cat. She died. :'(
On Sunday she got worse. Before that she could at least eat and drink from a spoon and she wanted to. On Sunday she wasn't able to get up any more and she couldn't even swallow her water when I put it into her mouth with a syringe.
We then decided to let her go and I planned to call the vet Monday morning to tell him, so he would put her to permanent sleep.
She was with us all afternoon and evening and when we went to bed we took her with us, because we didn't want to leave her alone on the sofa. In her condition she would have fallen down.
So she died at night in our bed.
I am glad we didn't need to put her down in the end. And that she went in her sleep in a peaceful and painless way.
She was the first cat we had who died of old age. All the others were hit by cars when they tried to cross the busy street to get to the fields with the best mice.
We are very sad. My best friend said something beautiful: now she is in heaven on my father's lap purring while he is petting her. At his foot is a dead mouse she brought as a gift.
I gave Blood Rites to my colleague and told her not to read the text on the backside of the cover, because there is a massive spoiler there. And after that I want to know, if she found out about who Thomas is on her own. LOL
Dina:
Hi Regen! I am very sorry about your cat, but I think is lovely that she died surrounded by you. I am sure she felt so loved and it is also good that she died in her sleep. A good way to go, I'd say. And I am also glad you did not need to take her to the vet. It is horrible to make that decision. It was her time to rest, she deserved it.
I thought about her with your dad too but I did not picture a dead mouse :)
Of course you are very sad! I am sending you a big, big hug.
About BR. When I was about 20 years old I stopped reading the backside of the books. I do not remember what specific spoiler was too much for me, but I decided enough is enough. Sometimes I read the blurb in internet but in general I try not to. Better safe than sorry.
Here weather is completely crazy. We had several very cold days and then we have super warm days (one day it was 27 C and so humid...it was sticky. Then we have normal cold days for winter. I have 7 C now, but they are forecasting 25 C for Sunday!
I am planning to do a short walk later following a Pokemon Go route. At heart, I am such a child :), I have fun with those things.
Regenbogen:
@Dina.
Thank you for your kind words ((((hugs back))))
Did you have fun with Pokemon Go?
We've had rain and thunderstorms these last few weeks. The rain is much needed though. There will be heat again in August. I need some warm and dry days to put the big carpet out to dry after washing. I noticed it still smells of cat piss in some places.
Maybe we'll travel to Austria for a few days during the summer holidays. We want to see my husband's stepmother again. And make a trip to his home town, meet some relatives and jump into the lake. One can also take a boat. There is a beautiful view at the mountains in the middle of the lake.
We started to watch Strange New Worlds. I like it a lot.
