Results of Tommy's second blood test was worse than his first. His kidneys worsened considerably. Additional meds was prescribed and dosage increased.
During his check-up, Tommy's favourite doctor listened long and hard at his heatbeat. Tommy had a 'gallop rhythm'. Normal heartbeat goes 'lup dup lup dup'; Tommy's enlarged heart went 'lup lup dup dup lup lup dup dup'. It did not beat in sync.
Yesterday, in the early morning, Tommy's tired heart succumbed to its weariness and gave up.
Usually gregarious Tommy was the one who would let others use him as pillow but for the first time a very thin Tommy borrowed Kenggy's fleshy rump to rest his head.

Oh, EJ, I'm so very, very sorry. I know you did your best to save dear dear Tommy because you loved him so much.
The good thing is, he knew he was loved.
The photo of him resting on Kenggy's "fleshy rump" is absolutely wonderful.

I am so sorry for you ! Kidney disease is typical for cats and unfortunately there is nothing to do. I went through that 3 times during all these years I had my first cat. At least he doesn't suffer anymore.

Oh EJ.
Words fail me.
Sometimes, we simply have to let go instead of our loved ones bearing such pain. Sweepy and Sumo are in their senior years too and I am praying that when the time comes for them to go, they will quietly and painfully sleep the way Bogart did...
