Good Bye Bue-bue, I Love You So Much, My Last Words To One Of My Best Friends Options

[Bue's Mommy]

Bue was the best kitty cat, he was 14yrs. Bue-Bue was a Maine Coon who I had adopted as a 8 week old kitten. Bue was very passive, he liked to chill out infront of the window in the morning to get the sun. I have 3 other kitty cats, and they all got along. Now Bue has always thrown up because he had very long fur. One day about 3 months ago I noticed that Bue threw up, but there was no fur in it.

I thought maybe since he is older he needs a more digestable food source. I went and got him the senior formul with yogart in it. He still thre it up, and it made his feces very smelly. I went out, and got him Fancy Feast. By this time though it had been about 2 months. He little by little stopped eating, this happened on the weekend. I thought to myself maybe he is winding down to die.

I went on the internet to see what else could be wrong, I discoverd that he could have bad teeth. I called Bue's vet, and we went in and Bue had 3 teeth removed. He had a blood test, but he did not have the really expensive blood test. I bought him home, and he ate, and ate, and ate. I was so happy, that was 2 weeeks ago. On Fri 08/03/07 When I got up, I noticed that Bue had thrown up on the rug, and there was blood in it. I made an appointment for him to see the vet on Tues. Sat, and Sun he appeared to get weaker, and weaker so on Sun although he was drinking water he was not eating food at all, he would smell it, and turn away.

I force feed him Sun, and we went to the vet Tues, his Dr. did a more indept blood test, and told me my cat had cancer of the bones, I cried in my vets arms, and then took my kitty home for hospice care. About 10pm Tues night Bue cried out because he could no longer walk on his own. I tried holding him, but it made him uncomfortable, so I put him on the floor, and layed down next to him. I think he may have surffered a mini stroke because the only thing moving was his eyes. My other cats gathered around as if they knew what was going on. Bue took some breaths, and cried out a little, and then he threw up blood about 4 times, and then his heart gave out. Bue loved it when I said He's a good boy, and thats what I kept saying to him, as I pet him.


I have had other companion animals pass before, and they all died at home with me. I guess this was painful because I thought he would be ok after his teeth were pulled. Bue lived a really good life with me, and his adopted brother, and sisters. I buried him in the woods out back with my other 3 kitty cats that have passed over the yrs. What I have to remember is the last 3 days of his life, he was not the real Bue-Bue, I'm glad he is free, but I will still miss him so much, I love you Bue-Bue, he's a good boy!

Your beautiful Bue reminds me of my Peaches, who looked like a Maine Coon & fooled others into believing she was......

Hugs Kimm, thank you so much for posting. You're right we cannot blame ourselves for something that is beyond our control. Your Peaches was gorgeous, omg how old was she?

I sometimes think about if Bue was younger than 14, and it was caught really early would I do chemo treatments for him. If his quality of life went down, I don't think I would. Emotionally speaking, hell yeah I would .

Some days I'm ok, other days I cry thinking how much I miss him, I know you feel the same way about Peaches. My vet sent me a condolence card, he is such a sweet man. The way he prepared me for Bue's impending death. I'm lucky that I did not have months and months of watching him go downhill. I feel so bad for those that go through that, my heart goes out to them.

I have tons of pics, videos of Bue-Bue, It helps to look at them.
Thank you Kimm for telling me about Peaches, anytime you want to talk please let me know ok?

Take Care
