Tonight while we were settling down to watch TV, Baby, our beloved cat, passed away. I’ll update this post later with more details, but about an hour ago, he unexpectedly left us while sitting on Sarah’s lap.
Just as a note to our friends, Sarah doesn’t really want to talk yet. So, eventually, I’m sure she’ll appreciate some condolences, but not tonight.
More later.
[Update 5/15: Baby the cat died in Sarah’s lap last evening when Jason, Dinah, me, and Sarah were sitting down to watch some tv. It was very sudden, he seemed fine all day, so we have no idea what happened. He climbed down off the top of the couch to sit on Sarah’s lap. He was just sitting in her lap, then started spasming and moaning. Then he just stopped breathing, his tongue was out and eyes dilated and he was gone. It probably wasn’t more then 30 seconds.
Sarah got really upset as he was “her first baby” and they spent many, many years together. Luckily, Jason was here, so while I took care of Sarah, he took care of Dinah.
Its still pretty tough to talk about, for all of us. We still have to do something with Baby this morning, but the vet doesn’t open for about another hour.]
I’m sad to learn of the loss of your four-legged friend and I know how much Baby meant to you.
We’re very sorry you lost your little friend
