I'm crying as I write this - my wee man died at 10.50h this morning. We've just buried him, next to the summer house, which was his favourite spot. K

The vet phoned last night to say he was doing fine and I was just waiting for a call from her this morning to say I could go and bring him home. She phoned at 11a.m. to say that he'd died. I'm absolutely devastated.
Oh Kleiber, any post where someone has lost a beloved pet brings tears to my eyes. I am so so sorry for your loss.
Why not buy a nice plant or shrub for where he is and call it your "Monty Plant". I did that with a cat I lost - a lavendar bush and when I moved out, cut some of it. It's still on my dresser to this day.

I'm so grateful for all your lovely replies. Wolf, I know that Frankie & Monty had a special friendship and I, too, just can't believe my little lad has gone. He was so young - if he'd have been an old cat, then I could've accepted it better even though that would have broken my heart too, (honkytonk, I feel for you as well). The vet said he was doing fine last night, but this morning his electrolyte levels were all over the place and the reason she didn't ring me earlier was that she was fighting to save his life and she didn't want to leave him. She said she didn't know why this had happened and she'd only known of one other cat like this and he had feline infectious peritonitis (there's no preventative measures we can take against that and there's little likelihood of a cure). I was offered a post-mortem, and half of me agreed that it would be a good thing, because then I'd know why he died and it might help to prevent this happening in another cat. But half of me said, "no" - I just wanted to bring his little body home to bury. I'm so sad - he was born here and he wasn't really meant to stay, but he did and it's such a shame that he was only with us for a short while. There will always be little ginger paw prints on my heart. K
