CHUBBS


If you have not heard of my cat before her name was Chubba. Yesterday we had to put her to sleep bc she was throwing up ever 1/2 hour and looked so weak. I dreaded having to do this. I knew that that the time was near but did not realize that it would be this close. She has lived with me and Hans since we have been married and my parents moved to St. George. We have definitely bonded. When DaLilah was born Chubba was ever so sweet letting Lilah pull on her hair and her collar constantly. I think she liked it bc she always wanted to sit by Lilah. We loved her! So when she was acting so different I panicked bc it was so rare for her to be throwing up like this. I called Hans to come home from work bc I did not know what to do. We wrapped her up in a blanket and she enjoyed the ride in the car to the vet. Only threw up once on the way. We took her inside to the vet and we decided that it was her time to go after living for 20 years (we have had her in our family since I was 4)!! It was a spiritual experience and we knew she was ready. Me and DaLilah gave her a hug and said our goodbyes. Hans petted her the whole time while she was dieing and said it was very peaceful and she didn't feel a thing. We love you Chubba and we know we will see you again!

Chubba lived a very long, happy life! I didn't bond with her like you did, but I do know how sad it is to have to say goodbye to a cat.... it's awful! Just like losing a family member. So sad, but she's happy and healthy in cat heaven!

Sorry Loni! What a good perspective you have.

Ah... That is so sad! Mitch and I had 2 cats Oliver and Olivia and we had to get rid of them last fall. Because we moved in with my parents after we sold our condo. So it is so so so so sad to say goodbye to your precious kitties. You should get a new one!

Sorry to hear about Chubba, her name represented the Corpuz's love for chubby cheeks. That was amazing that she lived to be 20 though, she lived well and was given the very best. We loved Chubba and she will be missed!
