Pookie is buried by our house under a small tree. Here is the memorial stone that we made for him....

From My Live Journal Post, 17th May 2006, 10:57pm: My Pookie Bear passed away today :(
He had been sick with bowel problems for a while and was on medication for it as well as allergy and thyroid meds too :( He was having a very hard time pooping and he was getting all blocked inside because his colon was stretched out wide and couldn't contract like it was supposed to. He seemed fine and I thought the meds we had him on were working but they weren't good enough. Today I brought him to the vet and they were going to give him an enema and try and start him on a different med. They ended up having to sedate him for the enema because the blockage was so bad :( The vet said he woke up fine from the sedation and seemed ok. Later he was laying on his side and as she called it "crashing" they did chest compressions and gave him oxygen but he was too bad off and didn't make it :( They think his heart gave out :( She said I did everything I could to take care of his problem and even if that had worked today he would of still have the same blockage problem and be suffering with it and probably have to be put to sleep by June if not sooner. We buried him beside the tree on the side of our house with his favorite toy and some catnip. I'm going to paint a stone for him. I don't ever want my kitties to live in pain. I just can't believe it happened this way. I wish I could of been there with him. I didn't even really say goodbye. I thought for sure I'd be picking him up in the morning :( I miss him so much already :( We've had him since he was a kitten for 11 years. He was the sweetest kitty ever! He loved everyone. He was always out to greet anyone that came over my house.
Rest in peace my sweet kitty. We miss you so much :(

A letter from a very dear friend made me realize that in that in his own way Pookie did say goodbye. He had been extra love-y the last few weeks before he died. Always in my lap at my computer (something he never did before) and always wanting to be on my lap on the couch too. Purring the loudest I had ever heard him purr. He made a point to go see everyone that came to visit during those last few weeks and have them all pet him. How could I not pick up on that. It didn't click in my head that he was saying goodbye during that time until I read her letter. I just hate that he was hurting and I didn't know. He didn't let it show at all :(

This is Pookie Bear, born in 1995, Himalayan or Rag doll. We've never really been sure which?
A.K.A. : Pookie, Pretty Boy, The King and Rug Surfer
I found Pookie outside of where I was living. He was just a little kitten about nine weeks old. He was crying and all alone so I took him home with me.
Pookie is the most friendly of the four and loves to greet most of the company that visits our house.
He loves to slide around the kitchen floor chasing pieces of ice and "surfing" on the rugs. It's quite a funny sight to see.
I don't have any live plants in my house because he will eat any I bring in here. He will also eat the curly ribbon off of the Christmas presents too, so we don't have that either. He would eat some other weird stuff too, I'm sure, if I didn't keep a close eye on him. He does like to sleep in so really strange places as you can tell from the goofy pictures below.
( I couldn't get a good picture to show those big blue eyes of his, but you can see he's a beautiful cat.) |
