Miss Cleo


Wow, what a long tough day. We woke up this am to Cleo just laying around and not acting herself. She began throwing up shortly after. We brought her into the vet only to discover that she was in kidney failure. They sent her home with fluids but not much hope. I left work early and gave her lots of loving. She was loosing her bladder control so we decided to not let her be sick much longer.
Ryan lovingly took her in. Before she left We got Patrick and he gave her some love and said Bye bye, Night Night kitty. Then I carried her out to the car giving her a little fresh air first. She perked up her ears and loved watching everything around her. It didn't take long and Ryan was with her. A lot of tears from us both today. Growing up on the farm cats died all the time, but then again we were lucky if they made it through one winter let alone 11. She was 15 and spent 11 years with us.
She loved to cuddle on our laps and made sure we never had a free lap without her on it. She did really well with Patrick letting him beat her up with minimal fuss. She wasn't terrible friendly with others, but was wonderful to us. We will certainly miss hearing her bell and feeling her kisses on our noses. Much love to Miss Cleo.

I'm so sorry to hear that you had to put Cleo to sleep. I remember when you got her. My thoughts are with you.
