The news is, we are still waiting for the part to arrive. Guessing/praying tomorrow. It will take 45 minutes to complete once it's there. Very frustrating. In other news, it appears Robyn will likely cross the Rainbow Bridge tonight. She was exhibiting signs of kidney failure this past week. Not surprising at age 17. She's too feral to put her in a carrier and take her to the vet, which would terrify her. She doesn't appear to be in pain but I had to lift her into my chair when she couldn't jump up.
This is so true, that they take a piece of our heart with them when they pass. My last kitty was an older feral who in her last year of life finally came into our house and when she passed away I hope she knew how much she was loved. That was 8 yrs ago, and now the tortie kitten we adopted from the local shelter is considered a "senior" and is visibly slowing down. I dread the inevitable but hope for at least 4-5 more years.
Dear Robyn and Tom, joining you on this night with appreciation for bringing Robyn to TAFM. You captured our affection, Robyn. If tonight's the night have a peaceful crossing.
My previous kitty, Miss Kitty, was an older little black female feral who I was finally able to catch and take to the vet, and little did we know that we would only have one year with her, but she forgave me for the vet visit and stayed with us until her passing. I hope Robyn has a peaceful crossing, whenever that may come, and that you will be with her until the end. I was holding Miss Kitty in my arms in my rocking chair when she shuddered and took her last breath. It doesn't matter how many times this has happened before, as it still breaks your heart when they go. Miss Kitty was my third.
I'm so sorry about Robyn, but grateful that you were able to give her a home.
TC, I know the computer thing is frustrating but maybe the universe is giving you this time to just sit and think or sit and grieve, or just sit!!! We know you are chomping at the bit. We are patient with anticipation.
this is something I plan on having to face in the not-too-distant future. I've done it four times before, but this one feels like it'll take a piece out of me I might not get back.
That's a lot of loss, friend, in a short time. Be comforted that you have been there, for cats and humans, as much as you could be. The mysteries of life are mysteries, so some quiet and sitting time with that notion is called for. Peace, friend. I wish you peace and grace.
Sad about Robyn. I made the mistake of trying to treat kidney failure for too long and prolonging my poor Yo-yo’s misery. Good on you for limiting the stress she must suffer
Ahhhh. And Robyn will meet up with the other ferals at the Bridge who found a way to coexist safely with a human during one of their nine lives. Such Love.
I hope for a peaceful passing for Robyn. They take a piece of us with them and leave us with gratitude and appreciation❤️😕.

I send my love to you and Robyn. I’m so glad you found each other. The love and care you give to cats makes the world a better place.

Yes it does.
It's an honor to be chosen by a cat, and a privilege to know them. You have been blessed.

It never gets easier. Now I have two seniors and me. Hope I can last as long as they need me…
I hope Robyn passes peacefully. I'm glad that she came to trust you in her last few months. You're a great cat dad ❤️🐾

Peace, light and love to Robyn and you in this time of transition. May her passing be easy and may memories bring solace to your loss.
My heart to both of yours. Sweet peace and lots of love.

Salud, TC.

So sorry to hear your news. May the good memories fill your heart.
Thank you for checking in. Thinking of you and Robyn with gratitude for the peaceful life you've provided for her, and the love she's brought you.
I'm sorry. It's hard. At least she has lived her life her way and decided to include you as part of her way.
