Fudge.

Today my beautiful cat Fudge had to be put to sleep. She had kidney failure and had not eaten or drank for the past week. The Vet said the urea level in her blood was 90 when it should be around 8. She was impressed she was still alive. That’s my fudgey, 16 and a half years strong. After being taken in for tests on Wednesday morning and kept in on a drip, she was not improving, yesterday afternoon we brought her home for her last night. She slept in the sun on the sofa, she just looked normal. We had Chinese for tea, duck was her favourite, and she actually managed to eat some :) she made it up the stairs and slept in my room as usual. I didn’t want to sleep ’cause I knew what was coming this morning.

My mum and dad came with me today, I held Fudge as the vet gave her what is basically an anaesthetic overdose. I could feel her little heart going so fast, and then it just stopped beating and she became limp.

I’d say she looked peaceful but her big round black and green eyes were open, like when she was mad. I felt like she was angry about what happened, but I decided her body is just the remains of her horrible terminal disease, and she is no longer in pain.

Without seeing her face she looked asleep but there was no life left in her as we stroked and kissed her goodbye. I didn’t want her to go, but she already had.

Rest in peace my little Fudgey roodles x
