I can't get past this. Today is day 3. I took him for what EVERYONE says is the right thing to do. And he died from it! My pooor sweet baby. He was only 10 months old, adopted him when he was 6 weeks old, and at a time in my life when I needed him more than he needed me. I still need him. I arranged the neutring through the Humane Society. It was free and at a vet I had to drive over an hour to get to. In addition, while I had Axl, I adopted Rose. I only adopted Rose so Axl would have a friend. I had her spayed the same day as she was approaching 6 months. On the Monday following the procedure I called t he vet because it appeared Axl still had one testicle. They TOLD me they only remove one and do a similar procedure as to a vasectomy to disable the other. Axl was slow moving, but eating and drinking. Evertime I picked up Rose, she would pee. So, we make it through the week, Axl appeared to be better, (except he was a one testicle cat), Rose was still peeing sometimes, then Saturday morning I found Axl, laid out, stiff and dead. It was the worst thing ever.
I wrapped him and said my goodbyes, and still can't stop crying if he enters my mind. I don't even want Rose. I am taking care of her, but she was Axl's cat. I called the vet today and told him, and he said NOBODY would have told me that only one testicle was removed. And he had never had a cat die from being neutered. Mine is dead. I am beside myself. I halfway want to give Rose away. And I am so angry at the injustice. We are preached at to get our pets neutred, and mine dies from it. I miss him so much, I can't believe he is never coming back. He was one cool cat with the longest tail you'd ever see. -------------------- Animals do have souls.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful cat Axl. You, Axl, and Rose are in my thoughts. I hope that you and Rose find your way back to eachother soon.
I want to tell you that you did the responsible thing having your cat neutered- do not second guess this choice. You're right, we are all told that having our pets spayed/neutered is the proper thing to do to control the pet population and to prevent the births of animals that will just end up in shelters. 99% of the time I'm sure things go perfectly fine. You were being a loving, responsible, and caring parent to Axl and don't ever forget that. What happened to you and your cat was an awful tragedy and I sincerely hope that you will eventually have peace in your heart. I wish you my sincerest condolences and support. All the best, Amanda |
