Moritz

It's very sad - we lost our baby Moritz ..................


Two days ago in the later afternoon it showed that he had become sick again. He didn't want his dinner, only a little bit of cat milk. His ears were hot and his inner eyes closed up more and more with every new hour. He made some breathing noise, so we think he started with a cold again, maybe another pneumonia. We tried to make him feel as comfortable as possible, but it was already clear for us, that one day this sad situation will arise.


He slept through the night, even went to the litter box. But he still had no desire to eat or drink. I called the vet's office in the following morning and although the vet is normally not in on Wednesdays I got a return call two hours later with the message to bring Moritz in at 2 pm. I can't describe the feelings here that I had these last few hours with Moritz. I held him in my arms, I was lying next to him, I pet him, I just wanted to make him feel good and not alone. David had already said Good Bye in the morning, we knew that this would be Moritz's last day.


The vet examined him, Moritz was seriously sick and any new treatment would only made him more suffering, which we wanted to avoid. It was hard to make this final decision for him, it was hard to say Good Bye, it was heartbreaking when they took him away....



Moritz, I hope you felt and still know how much you have been loved here although we didn't have you for a long time, ...... how much you are still loved, we hope you have a painfree, funny, wonderful time now - again with your tail. I also hope you are together with my Dad - you died on his birthday. Thanks Moritz, that you waited until it was for sure that the 3 little kittens (are they maybe your kids?) are healthy without that terrible virus that you had been suffering from. Mommy and Daddy promise you to take care of the little ones in the memory of you.

Have a good time on Mommy's and Daddy's star........



We will always love you and always remember you!
