I went trick-or-treating this year and it was a lot of fun! I have a ton of leftover candy, but hopefully my family will be able to eat through it in the next few days.

Looks like I'm going to have to take Booger to be put to sleep tomorrow. I don't know how I'm supposed to sleep today, or make it through work tonight knowing this. Oh no... what happened with Booger? D': I thought Midnight was the one who was having the bad health issues. Now i'm sad. Midnite is the one with the bad arthritis and the deformed hips that lock up on her so she can't move in the winter. That's still coming... Basic summary on Booger is he had a really bad diabetic crash back in April, which caused him to go off his insulin and onto diabetic food. Around mid September, he started rejecting the food (it was meaty chunks in gravy), so I switched him to some completely different flavors of canned Friskies for a few days, then tried the pate kind of the diabetic food, which he would somewhat eat. By mid October he started rejecting that, so I have been mixing the diabetic food with a much more flavorful food, which he was sort of eating. A few days ago, he started rejecting all food. His dementia was already pretty bad, and he was blind, so a lot of times he would forget what he was doing and just stand in the middle of a room looking lost. When we took him this morning, his weight was down from 8.4 pounds in April (already very low) to 4.2 pounds. He was put to sleep about 10am. I don't think it's fully hit me yet.

A lot of cereals are basically candy anyway
Except for those whole grain ones with dried strawberries mixed in
Those are the best

I know booger was your husbands cat, so how is he taking all of this? im crying over a cat i never even met now. ;-; I'm off work tonight and tomorrow, so I'll have time to cry it out later and be able to put myself back together by the time I have to deal with people again. Knowing I would have this time and not wanting to ruin Halloween forever played a major role in why we didn't take him yesterday, though I definitely feel now that waiting that day eased some of my worries that I was giving up too soon. My husband is hiding his true feelings - I gave him some time alone with Booger at the vet's to say what he needed to say after we spent time together with him, then I was alone with him when he passed. My husband couldn't handle being in the room for that, he was in there with Keiko, and I guess he knew it would be too much. I'm relieved to know he's no longer suffering, but I'm feeling guilt because I have been extremely preoccupied with this stupid candy collecting instead of spending those last days with Booger. Who knows, maybe the distraction is a blessing, so that I didn't overthink everything. I did bring Booger on the bed with me yesterday when I slept, and he slept in my arms part of the time, and under the covers the rest of the time, so I feel better about that. I also took him on the porch yesterday even though it was cloudy/rainy, since he loved laying out there in the sun so much, and wouldn't you know it, as soon as I laid him down on the floor, the sun came out for about 30 seconds, so he got to sun himself one last time. I managed to call the cremation place to arrange things without completely breaking down on the phone, so that's progress from when I called them about Keiko. I don't know, I'm doing exactly what I refused to do when Keiko died and shoving my feelings down and not dealing with them, and that worries me. Sadly enough, I think the trigger to set everything off will be the end of this candy thing, because it was the mindless collecting of candies that kept me distracted at work last night. It's what I've been doing since we got back from the vet, though my heart definitely isn't in it anymore, and I'm not collecting them nearly as fast. I guess we'll see how things go when I wake up tonight. Thank you for caring though, I know you are one of the few people out there who truly understands what these cats mean to me. I haven't told anyone outside of posting it on Pretzels. I do worry as well how the other cats will take it, I tried taking him around to each of them before we left like I did with Keiko, but I don't think they understood as well this time. Torino is the one I worry about the most, because he and Booger were very bonded.

I just got on desktop and saw your sig and im still very sorry, but the streak of dark humor in me made me start bursting out laughing. It's like some sort of photograph hit list from a noir film, "Ey, Antonio, I just got another Schrödinger in the box. Yea. Where can i pick up my money?"

I Am In Your Walls See, I can have a dark sense of humor. I look at it like the old school video games, where you have a bar of green at the top of the screen that is your life, and when it runs out, it turns red and your dead. My husband has been using dark humor for coping, which I completely expected knowing his personality, but I still see it as a mask for his real feelings, which he won't let me see. When I signed on and saw I won the candy thing, I burst into tears, because like I expected, my brain has tied it to Booger's death, and now that it's over, I can start to process things. pumpkin pie, Sησω, Sour Candy Thank you for your condolences. I miss him so much. I always go around and say goodnight to each cat before bed just in case it's the last time for one of us, and it was still hard because I hugged the first 5 and my brain is wired to find cat 6 and think "who am I missing?". It's going to take some getting used to.

Torino is the one I worry about the most, because he and Booger were very bonded. Hey. I just wanted to say I'm really sorry for your loss. I know how terrible it is to lose a pet, and even how scary it is for them to run away, because you never know if you'll find them again or not. And you probably already know this, but it's perfectly normal and right to grieve. It shows shows how much you love Booger. If anyone tries to tell you different, don't listen to them. They don't understand. Losing a pet is just as bad as losing a fellow human. They're both loved ones. The pain can still stay with you forever. There is no "getting over it." So don't feel like you need to push it down and look all put together in front of everyone else. That can only make it worse. We all need time to feel our feelings and accept them for what they are. May StarClan light both your and Booger's paths, though you have reached a fork in the road and can no longer be with him.
