A Cat Named Enrique

Last week I had one of those moments that every pet owner dreads...  When the vet tells you “It’s time to let him go” Not fair!!  Life is not fair! – There I said it!

I had to let go of my baby boy last week.  It came so sudden.  He suffered from FATE (feline aortic thromboembolism).  There was not much the vet could do to help him.  He was in pain, so whether I wanted to or not, I had to let him go.  He died in my arms.  I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. 

He will forever be remember as the big cat with the big personality.  He changed my life the moment I got him. BTW, he was sooo not what I thought he would be.  I always had wanted a kitty, a small kitty. So, a friend told me she had a ‘kitty’ for me… yeah right… I got a 17lb cat!! I felt totally duped!!  I saw him and I thought…. “hmmm maybe I didn’t explain myself when I said a ‘kitty’”.  Needless to say, he took over the apartment and my heart instantly. Sometimes we think we want something, but it’s a good thing God always knows that most of the time, what we want, is not what we need.  God gave me exactly what I needed.  He was such a joy to have for 12 years.  I will miss him immensely…
