It is with a sad and heavy heard that I write this blog. Chyna, that lovable cat with the broken "mrow" was laid to rest today. My wife and I had noticed a couple of weeks back how much weight she had suddenly lost, yet she acted fine so we let it be. However, this morning Chyna took a very quick turn for the worse. She couldn't walk and showed no signs of wanting food or water. We, unfortunately, had to leave her for the day alone since both of us needed to go to work.
I made as quick of a day as possible for myself and came home around 3 p.m. to find Chyna in an even worse state than this morning. I quickly bundled her up and took her to the vet for what I knew would likely be the last time I would see and hold her. The vet was a kind lady and told me that there was nothing we could or could have done for her. Her kidneys were failing and to put her down would be the humane thing to do.
They brought Chyna to me one last time and I held and petted her to let her know that I love her and that I would miss her. Then after many sobs on my part I handed her back to the vet and let them put her to rest so that she would no longer suffer.
It amazes me how much I already miss hearing that broken "mrow." I have had many family cats go in my short life but I feel more remorse in Chyna's passing than for any of the others that I have lost. That is a true testament to how lovable and how great of a cat she was.
