I have tried to write this several times and there is no easy way to tell you all.
On Wednesday morning April 24 th Calvin came into my office, trilled at me as he does when something is not right. He trilled again and I stood up to follow Calvin, he then had a seizure, flipped over and was still. I picked him up, wrapped him in a blanket, gave him some of Squeekers pain meds and called the vet to say we were on our way, when I realized he was gone.
The night before Tommy and Calvin had been playing and his cute tail was standing straight up and quivering, 2 hours before I had watched him clean Gabby’s ears and play with her.
Everyone was able to say their goodbyes and Gabby licked his ears, nudged him twice and looked at me as if to say I understand. She does cry for him at 8 pm every night. That’s story time and all the cats come to the big room. Tommy still looks behind him when he jumps to the window, waiting for his BFF to follow, and I am always looking for his amazing tail to go by.
Calvin was met at the Rainbow Bridge by many Happy Forest cats, Jasper, and Grandmeowmy with her Cats 6 book and a cozy green blanket.
The Vet believes it was a blood clot, that it was fast and he didn’t suffer.
I can’t put into words how much he was loved and how much he is missed. I am still in shock. Please hug your furbabies tight.
