Strider :( Options

[Pippin's Mom Kel]

Unexpectedly, our cat Strider died last night. He had just gotten a clean bill of health from our vet yesterday afternoon. He came home, played, ate, did normal Strider things... my husband and I went to find him before bed and found him dead in the litterbox.

We are devastated. We can't wrap our minds around how our healthy 6 year old black cat is dead. And I can't cope with the fact that he died in his litterbox, without us right there. We were HOME. How did we not hear him??????

The other cats are going to grieve terribly. Lancelot and Earl Grey were very close to him. They got to sniff his body before we took him to the vet, at least.

I don't... I have no words. I'm lost.

Kel, thanks for letting us know how Karma and Willow are doing. It's really good news that Willow is eating again and almost back to normal. I hope Karma gets back to his normal self soon as well. It is so distressing when our fur kids get sick. I'm glad Willow and Karma are both cooperative in being syringe fed. Your Karma is such a big kitty boy that I imagine it takes two people to hold him down and feed him! Try those Zuke's hip action for cats treats. They will definitely help his arthritis. Tina always liked them and readily ate them and they improved her back tremendously.
