Thanks you all soooo much. You have no idea how much your comments help. There's no way around going through the shock of this sudden loss, or second guessing my decision, but your comments take some of the edge off and make it a little more like his life was noticed and enjoyed by others besides me.
Hey Mark, sorry to hear the sad news about your little buddy RC. I guess it's better for the cats when it is sudden like that, but sure is a punch in the gut for their people. So here's hoping for happier days ahead, and farewell to the the kitty who had the best name ever on this site!
Rest peacefully dear Robocat...I'm so sorry Mark. I was hoping very hard but sometimes things just happen that are out of our control. Your kitty family is so lucky to have you because you care so much. Tears.
Oh my god Mark ... I'm just sick about beloved Robocat reading this. Oh the poor, poor baby - so very sick. I know you and the entire pack are truly devastated. What a brave, brave little boy. You gave me the most magnificent life dear Mark. Oh Robocat you were so loved by so many. Run free now sweetie pie in the warmth and sunshine of the Rainbow Bridge where so many of our lovies will be with you forever and ever. I'll ever forget you furrbaby. Hugs, hugs, hug to you dear Mark ... tears
This is so hard to believe. You stood by your boy to the end and did what was right for him, but you must be feeling desolate and my eyes tear up at the thought of your loss. RIP, sweet Robocat: so sorely missed.
Désolée pour la perte de Robocat, je suis de tout cœur avec vous, j'ai de la peine pour vous, ces moments douloureux sont très difficiles pour vous et votre famille. Regrets et larmes...
That is the same thought I had, Robocat together with his mother again, happy, young and healthy again playing in the sun maybe......At least that is what I try to imagine for my cats when they are gone . ( Yes, Tango must be a the tender giant) How are Robocat's brothers taking it ?
He's with his beloved Daisy now. I'm finding myself going to the Facebook page, and the pics of Tango and the new baby are putting a smile on my face even now.
My second post, I'm sorry for your loss Tele Mark. My vet has said that cats are like that. They don't show symptoms of illness until its fairly serious. For everyone if your cat stops eating take it to the vet right away. Poor Storm too, he seemed to be best buddies with Robocat. All your cats are lucky to have you as their owner. RIP Robocat.
Thanks everybody, I appreciate all the comments. Please, just give all your cats a big hug today, everything can seem just fine, and then change very quickly. He was an older cat, 14 years old, but still outwardly completely healthy.
Oh Mark I am so so sorry. As Suelinn said we have fallen in love with your precious boys as well. I am grieving with and for you. May you know you gave him a wonderful and long life. I hope you can find solace in that. Prayers and thoughts with you today. Hugs to you furbabies as well.
I am so sorry...when I first came to Picato...your cats were the first ones that I got to know. I always looked forward to pics from their outdoor adventures! And Robocat, his name alone meant he was a special guy. There are no words that can console, but he was loved and had a wonderful life.
I'm so very sorry to hear the news about Robocat. I know how much you love your cats. Please be comforted by the fact that you gave him the best life he could have had. You do everything for your cats and they couldn't have a better owner. My prayers are with you. RIP Robocat.
Oh no, this is terrible news...I am so sad to hear that Robocat is gone, but at least he did not have to suffer. RIP sweet boy, we will really miss you a lot.
I hoped so much that Robocat would recover again and now this. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes , almost cant believe what happened. I am so so sorry Mark. The last hours must have been so difficult but I am sure you did the right thing for Robocat. I know you love your cats so much, Robocat had a wonderful life, he was a friend and family member. I will miss him and i will never forget him. Hugs to you and all your boys.
Oh Mark, I'm so sorry. What a shock. The only problem with this site is falling in love with other people's cats and then grieving when they leave us. I will miss him. I wish I could give you a hug right now.
He's gone. The mass was in his intestines. I didn't want my little boy to suffer, so he just didn't wake up on the table. I was the last thing he saw when he was put under before surgery. He was just fine Friday, and then Saturday he wasn't eating. It was so fast, just out of nowhere.
Oh no, Robocat ! I hope so much that everything will go well and that Robocat will be fine soon again. Of course I'll be thinking of you and your boy . Please don't give up hope ! XO
Dear friends. Please pray hard for Robocat. I am at the vet with him now. He suddenly got sick Friday, and he's just been diagnosed with a tumor, most likely his spleen. He will be undergoing surgery in a short time. If it is only his spleen and it hasn't spread, things look promising. If it's spread I have to make a very difficult decision. This came from nowhere, he was just fine a few days ago. Mark
