am pretty sure mr eric has had a serious troke now - he can't swallow, his eye is droopy and his back leg isn't really moving despite him trying. Will take him to the vets tomorrow morning instead of waiting til his appointment at 2.50pm.

I can't believe how upset i am, haven't stopped crying since 9 when i think it happened. I guess the only good thing is that he is warm and comfy and will probably not need to wait until morning to be at peace.

Sorry for such a depressing post, I haven't lost a pet since i was 17!

Don't apologise Kate!

When my Mac got run over and ended up at the vets I cried all evening cos I thought he wasn't comimg home... thankfully he did, but when I lost my other cat Tom to kidney problems a couple of years ago I was distraught!!! I cried and cried for days and still get upset if I talk about him.

Non animal people never understand how we can get so attached to our pets but I think our ability to show compassion and emotion for our furry and feathered friends makes us better people!

As you say, Mr Eric is warm and comfortable and knows you are with him. You couldn't be doing any more for him.

Big big hugs to you both

Mr Eric passed away at 3am this morning. He slipped into unconsiousness shorlty before then just stopped breathing.

Thanks for all your nice replies

[arugula]

I'm very sorry to hear that TN  , I know it doesn't make it any easier when it is a small pet. At least he is at peace now.

Soory to hear about Mr Eric Totalnovice. I know you were so fond of him 

[Parsnip]

Oh no   So sorry about Mr Eric...big hugs from here too xx

[Yorkie]

Oh so sorry, just caught up with this thread, no wonder you are upset 

He was warm and comfortable and didn't have the stress of being taken to the vet, which will hopefully be some consolation to you in time.  I still miss my cat after 15 years so don't criticise yourself for loving.
