Awful News About A Neighbor's Oldest Daughter's Cat...

[calliopes_pen]

This is what my neighbor told my mom just a few minutes ago. Last night, around midnight her daughter (she lives on her own--I think she's in her 30's.) was awakened by her black cat. She was led to the chair. She didn't know why the cat did that, so she told it not to ever do that again, and went back to bed.

This morning, she woke up. The cat usually kneads her shoulders every morning before she wakes up. That morning, it didn't. She went into the living room, and saw her cat on the table, with it's arms stretched out toward the chair. Dead. It died of a heart attack. It had wanted her to be with it when it happened, but she couldn't have known that.

How awful.

Aw, dude.

*sobs*

Kitty. :(

Aww.

Maybe it's just as well she wasn't there, though. I mean, awful as it must have been to find the cat, it might have been worse to watch it happen and not be able to do anything for it.

I agree. She didn't need to see it.

When she found the cat, she screamed and then called my neighbor. The neighbor (who is possibly in her 80's.), came over and buried the cat for her.

oh that is very sad, really upsetting

Oh, that's hard. Our oldest cat died a few months ago. I stayed up half the night with him, telling him it was okay if he needed to go. We ended up taking him to the vet the next morning because we couldn't bear seeing him like that any longer. It's never easy to say goodbye to a pet you love.

That's an awful, awful story. The poor, poor woman, she must be so upset.

According to her, it's the second dead cat in 4 months at her house. Another one died of old age.

(I think she has 3 others--I'm not sure.)

That would be why my Mum never let us have pets - she couldn't bear it when they died.
