Zack

[crystalcazzie]

Hey everyone. I know I haven't been around much (even less so than usual) and I thought I should explain why.

Two weeks ago we noticed that our cat Zack was looking unwell so we took him to the vet. He was admitted for a week while they did blood tests, took a bone marrow sample and gave him a blood transfusion because his count was so low.

Last week we got to take him home while they tried to work out what was wrong with him. We had to give him various different pills morning and evening. I was the bad guy who forced him to take them. I hated upsetting him like that but if it would help him get better I was going to do it.

But he just got worse. And today they told us it's cancer of the bone marrow. He had no chance of getting better and it was kindest to have him put to sleep.

So that's it. First Sammy, then Fury and now Zack. Three cats gone in six months and none of them older than a few years. Fuck you, universe. You are unbelievably cruel.

[tight hugs] Thinking of you and family, I know how much those cats meant to you.

I'm so sorry. It's nice to see you back though, but I wish things were going better for you.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. *massively huge hugs* I wish I could say more but, really, there are no words.

I realise that, as yet, we do not know each other very well. Still, if you want to talk to somebody who understands what you are going through, please let me know. Having been there myself, I know far too well how badly this hurts and can try to help you bear this unbearable load.

You and your poor lost furry ones are in my thoughts.
