My Heart Is Broken Options

[tornado's mom]

Tonight I lost my best friend Tornado. We came home from the lake and he didn't meet us at the door. I instantly knew something was wrong with him. I stood in the living room while my husband ran through the house trying to find him. I couldn't move--i just knew. He found him in our son's room alive but very listless. We called 3 vets before we found one--why did this have to happen on a long weekend? It was a 1/2 hour drive away but we raced there with Tornado in my arms. He was barely moving. We got there and the vet said that he had a urinary blockage and that she would anesthetize him and undo the blockage. He would stay overnight and come home the next day. We drove home anxious but happy that by tomorrow we would have our precious cat back. Shortly after we got home the vet called--Tornado died in surgery. His bladder had ruptured. He was in our lives a short 11 years. The house seems so lonely. He is not around every corner. He is not following me around. He is not in my lap. He is not here. I will forever miss him. There will never be another Tornado. My heart is shattered. Thanks for listening.
