Devastated and in floods of tears, she was only just 5 and a half.

She was off her food yesterday afternoon and by last night she had gone a little bit quiet and lethargic.

Woke up at just past midnight to find her fitting and freezing cold, took her to the emergency vet who said her heartbeat was weak and her blood pressure very low.

I'm gutted, there was no warning, she went downhill so fast.

RIP little Boo x ❤ x

Oh I am so sorry to hear that, only thing I can think to say is she didn't suffer long, and died with the person she loved most.

Look after yourself now.

Thanks molliepops. I feel empty right now, it all happened so quickly.

The worst part has been having to break the news to my daughter, she's 2 and a half.

We told her that Boo had gone to the doctors but he couldn't make her better so now she's gone to be a star in the night sky.

She said that the doctor should just put a big plaster on and that would make her better. Heartbreaking.

I am really sorry to hear your pet has died, it is always hard when go.
All the best to you all x

aw, poor little thing, sorry to hear about that. but she had a good five years of life.

Very sorry to read this clm2071 - take care

Thanks for the comments guys.

I've spoken to the vet and he thinks it was heart &/or kidney failure.

She was the runt of the litter and had a few health problems, she was asthmatic and was on a special diet to control her weight.

I'm consoling myself with the thought that if we hadn't rescued her she wouldn't have lived anywhere near the 5 years she did.

So sorry to hear about your little Boo.

She needed to be rescued and you did that and have given her 5 years of love and security, you couldn't have given her anything more precious.

I am very sorry for your sudden loss. I know how badly it hurts because I lost my 24 y/o cat in May last year. What helped me was remembering all the good times and the companionship that she offered.

RIP Boo - God Bless x

aw thinking of you x

So sorry my darling, I know it hurts so much when you lose one of these very special little babies, I lost my darling maine coon cat to lymphoma in November 2013 at ten years old and then lost another seven month old maine coon kitten to FIP just before Christmas, I am utterly heartbroken.

So sorry. Hugs to you x

Sorry to hear about Boo. It's one thing when a 15 or 17 or 22 year old cat dies - you know they've reached their time - but so sad when a young cat dies. I'm sure you gave her all the love and everything she needed and that's what matters.


I understand your sadness. I had two MCs of immense character. Both died last year - one from vaccine-related fibrosarcoma aged 8.5 years and the other from feline cardiomyopathy aged just a bit more than 9. The house will never be the same. I also lost a 7 month old MC some years ago - he lacked the clotting agent in his blood and didn't recover from neutering. We were devastated.

Thankyou for all of the kind comments

We have made the big decision to get a kitten as our house just feels like its missing something since we lost Boo.

Mimi (named by my daughter) is moving in next weekend, she's just coming to the end of her weaning at the moment. We went to meet her last weekend and she is totally adorable.

I just hope our other cat takes to her OK!
