    Hello our friends,
    It is with a heavy heart that I tell you Taters has gone on to the rainbow bridge. She was a feisty little fighter. She fought until the end, she actually bit the ever loving **** out of the vet tech after they put in the catheter to give her the euthanasia medication ( she hurt Taters leg, and Tate would not stand for it.) My little spitfire until the end. I want to thank everyone so very much for all the support, suggestions, and advice over the past months. Taters fight with diabetes was never easy. She was never able to get her sugars completely under control. However, in the end it wasn't diabetes that took her from us, it was a cancer. Lurking in the shadows, rearing its ugly head at the last minute. Unfortunately when I took Taters in today to give her body peace, her actions had dire consequences.
    The vet tech should have known better than to press Taters off... Unfortunately, heartbreakingly, this means Taters was not able to come home with me today. Her body will be sent to the medical board to be tested for rabies, which I know a 100% she did not have. They are going to cut into my precious Taters head only to find no evidence of rabies. I don't know when or if I will receive her body back to be able to commit it to the earth. This makes the loss of Taters that much harder. To not have that closure yet. I will not give up, I will fight tooth and nail until I have my Taters back with me so I can bury her in the back yard where she was most happy. I will try to keep everyone updated on this progress. But for now I am completely consumed, beside myself with grief, I am angry at the careless tech... which resulted in me having to leave Taters at the hospital. She was a brave, valiant warrior. She fought until the very end. Until there was no other option but to give her the peace she deserved. My heart is broken, my soul shattered. I will not rest until I have my Taters back to give her the proper burial this little warrior cat deserves. Life is so unfair at times. She has been through so much. And now has to face this final indignation. She deserves better.

    Sorry for your loss. Keep in mind her body was a vehicle for her soul. She is not in it. She IS free. You could ask they cremated the body and return it to you.

    Update: Taters test came back negative, as I knew it would. I'm angry her poor little body had to be subjected to that (if you know what it entails you know what I mean, if you don't, please don't look it up like I did...) To this date I still have not gotten Taters back so I can bury her. This is making this whole crappy situation that much more crappy.

    Gawd. I'm so sorry you are having to go through this.
    My suggestion is that when you finally go to pick up Taters to give her the final farewell she deserves , that you sink your own knashers into the careless vet tech, Taters style and take out a chunk.
    I know. My levity sometimes gets me into trouble . It is a way I deal with the dire in life & I hope to give you a teeny smile at the outrageous thought .

    I really hope Taters gets to go home with you very shortly.

    Taters finally came home today. She was laid to rest in our yard by a nice tree. I'm sure she would have liked that. Once the dirt settles I will make her a nice area with a headstone, a little white fence, and flowers.
    I picked her up right after I got off work. When the vet tech, not the one Taters bit, came out he just hands me the box and he's like "sorry". I lost it the moment I had her cold little casket in my arms. I thought Dr. Tara was gonna knock the kitty litter out of him. He looked like he wanted to crawl under a rock and took the casket out of my arms. She took the casket from him after giving him a withering look, walked me to the car, and put her in the car for me.
    I'm glad I have her back and was able to lay her to rest. It's gonna be a long road for my heart. I still sleep on one side of my pillow, leaving the side she slept on open. Sometimes in my sleep I go to pet her and wake up to find her not there.

    @Taters and Kasey

    You have to wonder why some people do the jobs they do if they cannot feel or express empathy for those in pain. *sigh*
    I think he , the vet tech, might have got a dose of my good old English ....humour....... by way of an 'oh really' & a wish I had some quality cat poop to hand to him in return. fuma42.gif

    Pleased to read that Dr Tara was on hand to care and help. Utterly distressing but I am so glad to read that Taters is now home where she belongs. I really am.

    Yes. Yes. I shall look forward to seeing Taters own special area.
    I'd make a tentative suggestion of a few venus fly traps by way of plants . Snappy , bitey things are those.

    Anyway. If you can spare some . It is time for Taters pics again, even if the same ones.

    It has to be marked properly.

    Her headstone came today. My sister had it made for her. I will upload more photos once I get her grave looking how I'd like it. It's been rainy here lately, to match my mood.

    That is a very nice headstone for your sweet kitteh Taters. It was a good and long life that Taters had with you. Remember that part, and not the last day. The spot in the garden will be good for Taters' spirit.
