RIP Pumpkin Pie

 

We had to put our sweet kitty down.

 

Just over a month after he had an emergency surgery for a blocked urinary tract, it came back stronger and faster than before. Just two weeks prior, we took him to the vet for a follow up of the first surgery and he was in excellent health with a urine test showing not even a single crystal.

 

And then fourteen days later, in a matter of hours, he went from purring and playing to howling and not being able to walk.

 

Because of how aggressive this particular ailment seemed to be for Pumpkin, our vet said we'd be dealing with a lifetime of this.  A kitty lifetime of sudden pain, blocked tracts, and stress & worry.

 

Our sweet boy didn't deserve that.

 

So with the four of us by his side, we said our goodbyes and put him down.

And good grief that was painful.

 

We only had him six months, but he made such an impact in our family!

We miss this kitty and it's just so damn sad.

RIP, little buddy.
