Hi everyone,

I am sad to say that my cat Romeo had to be put to sleep yesterday
afternoon. This happened somewhere between 1 and 2 p.m. Romeo was 3 years
and 9 months.
Bob Marquardt and I don't know after talking with the vet if he had
diabetes, feline disease or another disease that we don't know about.

As some of you may remember, I got Romeo from Sheri Albers back around June
28, 2010 right before going to NFB National Convention.
It was through an NFB local chapter auction we had and I won't forget that.
I have been crying for the last 2 days. When I came home on Friday after
work, I noticed something seriously wrong with Romeo. He was lying on the
floor not moving. I held him for several minutes trying to comfort him. He
was breathing very shallow. He moved his tail very little but nothing else.
Before I went upstairs to bed, I put him on the couch for the night. The
next day he was still breathing but no moving. He gave a tiny meow but it
was very weak. I called the doctor Friday night but he couldn't get to me
until the next day. I told him when he came Romeo would not run away this
time.
He will be sorely missed.
He was a very active cat until he started to lose weight, not eating
anything but drinking lots of water until Friday when his body started to
shut down.
He was otherwise known as zoom zoom Romeo.
He loved to run up and down the stairs, jumped at me and play tag, and a
host of other activities. I love his hair being very short. He was soft and
cuddly in the beginning but grew to become a fat cat I think.
I don't know if I'll get another pet.
I need some time to cope with this loss and figure out if I can do this all
over again.
If Bob wasn't around, I don't think I can take care of an animal by myself
especially when it comes to keeping the place clean.
It's hard to adjust not having a cat after spending 3 years and 9 months
being attached to a cat who expresses love to both of us. He kept us company
and greeted us at the door when we get home for the evening.
Take care everyone.

Sincerely,

Lisa Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio
