Good Bye my precious Lady Cat
It's been a while since I write about my four furballs.
A lot happened since that date. We've been adapting to my new little one Miaka, and a few days after her arrival, my dear Sheeba went sick. She stopped eating by herself, and stop drinking water, I realized that she wasn't doing that for attention, after 3 days we went to the vet, she was severe dehidrated, and had lost 1kg of weight. The vet had to give her fluids directly to the vein. Her health became unstable, to the point of not responding to treatment. After almost a month (3weeks and 4days) of suffering and on different treatments, I had to decide what to do in her behalf. That was the most difficult decition in my entire life. But after seeing her diminishing day by day to the point of no activity and suffering too much pain, I had to let her go. I called Guiselle her former mom to tell her my decition. At the begining she didnt understand the critical condition that Sheeba was. When she realize that she may not recover, we both cry. After doing a few last options to cure her I took her to the vet clinic. It was hard, I never forget her look and the way she go away from me.
I was always saying that I had her 2 years, but doing the maths, I hardly have her for a year. I enjoy her company and crazy sounds all time. I remember her, and miss her. I miss her sheeding, her voice, her purr, her smell, and her yelow-orange expressive eyes. I only feel better just to think that she is no longer in pain.
There are people that when their pet die or get lost, they quickly replace them with some other pet with the same characteristics even same name. For me even she was not my pet since the begining, I would never replace her, since she had a very peculiar character. She was Sheeba, my only Sheeba I will know. And for her memory I will treasure her for the rest of my life.
....
Still now I miss her, but now the memories are more happy. A few weeks ago Guiselle and Carlos came to visit, and I gave them part of the ashes of our beloved Sheeba. It was akward since we didnt know how to bring up the subject. Even so for us that was a special moment. I give Guiselle the few photos I had of Sheeba the last year. Now that I look at them I realised that she was happy indeed with us. That it wasnt something I did wrong, it was only her time.
I still miss u Sheeba... hope we could be together again.
