Polo (2000-2009)


Yesterday our lovely Polo gave up a short fight for her life. We are devastated.

She had had a cough for a couple of weeks and an X-ray suggested possible asthma, but she suddenly went downhill very fast. On Tuesday she was fighting for breath and we took her to the vet hospital. She was put on oxygen and various meds, but never recovered and slipped away yesterday just before we could get to see her. The vet suspects a type of lung cancer but we don't really know.

She was a gorgeous cat and we miss her talking to us, charging about, bouncing Trevor and being the monkey she was.






I hope to be back soon with stitching.

    Our cats crawl into our hearts immedately and leave a huge hole when they are gone.

  20. Deepest condolences, Nikki.

    A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
    Its loveliness increases; it will never
    Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
    A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
    Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

  36. Hi Nicki,

    I'm so sorry to hear about sweet
    little Polo passing over the
    rainbow bridge. She was such a
    pretty cat and I know from your
    blog how much you loved her and
    your other fur babies and how much
    she'll be missed. She was so lucky
    to have you. Take care.
