Goodbye Razor & Tabitha · 11:29pm Mar 4th, 2022
Hey guys...I'm here with another update and...things are really not up to speed with me...
As for what this title implies...It doesn't end with a positive note. If you guys don't want to read this to avoid getting hurt or being reminded of personal issues, then...please don't read this. For your own sake if it bothers you.
My family adopted two baby kittens on September 2021. We named them Razor (male) and Tabitha (female). Originally, we used to call Tabitha 'Thomas' because we thought she was a girl but the people who gave us to them accidentally gave us the girl while another family took the one we originally were gonna get. However, we developed a nice bond with her and she became part of the family, both of them were like little brother and sister that we were so happy about. It felt nice having them around, petting them, and everything.
But...as time went on, Razor started growing weaker and barely ate. We took him to the vet to figure out what was wrong like maybe he was sick or something. But...we discovered horrible news.
Razor's liver wasn't working right and as long as he was alive, he was gonna suffer till January. So...we had no choice but to give him a fond farewell. We all gathered around and cried for him, wishing him goodbye and told him that he would always be in our hearts. All we had left was Tabitha and we noticed she was feeling sadden, not acting like her usual self since Razor's passing. But then, as time moved over to February...
She started experiencing similar symptoms as Razor did and...I kept denying it that maybe there was hope we can help her. However...the vet called over and told my mother that her heart wasn't working well and now she's blind due to it. It was like we were reliving the nightmare again. It only has been a month since Razor died, but now we were losing another companion.
It...It really breaks my heart...talking about this. Every time I think about them, I just...I just feel nothing but sadness because they didn't get to see the full extent of their lives with us...There was nothing I could've done to prevent it since it just happened but it makes me feel guilty that...I lost two family members that I grew to cherish. My little brother and sister who grew fond of them respectively are crying so hard, wishing that they could've done something and I try to make them feel better by encouraging them, but nothing worked. It further hurts me that I failed as an older brother to not make them happy.
I want to thank Tabitha and Razor for everything she's done for me. It's been a long time since we had a family pet and it felt happy that we could take them in and make the house brighten up with their presence. Because of them, I managed to adopt my own cat and raising him right now.
Tabitha already came back from the vet, barely moving her body or her eyes, breathing shallowly that it tugged my heartstrings. I...It hasn't been that long since we lost Razor and now it was happening again.
I hope that they'll be watching our family, thanking us for giving them the short life they had. I hope to raise my own kitten to have him live on for the first two cats that passed away from our household. Thank you all for listening to this small story of mine and hopefully understand the pain I'm going through.
And until then, see ya next time...
Aw, sorry Max 😢
