(Cat) Buckwheat

Snuffles buddy Buckwheat went to the Bridge about 10:30 PM this evening. He belonged to a elderly fellow who lives about a block away. We met them walking when they were on the screen porch. Lot of hissing back then through the screen, but as time went on we decided to try a face to face. In fact we had just left visiting Buckwheat and walking home when Snuffles CCL ruptured.

Buckwheat though middle aged for a cat had congestive heart failure, and had to have fluids drained from lung sack since Sept. But the last time was blood and they said scar tissue was forming. It was becoming several times a week. My buddy called about 9:30 PM and asked me if I would go with him to the vet clinic (same as mine), though the decision to let him go was made on the drive up there. Then the on call staff pretty much helped seal the decision.

RIP Sweet Buckwheat.



Adding a second picture my friend just sent out to all his friends with the announcement.

Poor guy. RIP Buckwheat. I'm not a cat person but he looks very sweet. Please pass along my condolences to Buckwheat's human.

So sorry for the loss of such a lovely companion.

Leonard, that was so kind of you to go along for support. I'll bet it was difficult, but I'm sure it meant the world to your friend and to Buckwheat to have you there. You're a pretty special person to have around when things get tough.
