Morgan lost her battle early Monday morning. Multiple vet and emergency vet visits did not save her. We never knew exactly what her problem was. The specialized vets she needed were on vacation and she couldn’t hump through until this week. We are all devastated here and will take a moment to grieve. She was our perfect cat, always healthy. She didn’t sing the song of her people in cars; fuss about the dinner menu; or have a hissy fit when Sasha and Gus joined the household. I will write something proper later. We are all grieving for our perfect cat.

I’m so sorry, Kate. I wish I had the words to mend your heart but I don’t. Just know that your blogging friends are grieving with you. RIP sweet Morgan.

They should always have an emergency vet/specialist referral service … you, as would other pet owners who love their pets, would have made the extra effort to go, even if it wasn’t close. Yes, it would make me angry too.

We don’t really know. First symptom was jutting out her chin occasionally to swallow. She was treated for a sore throat but she continued to have what seemed to be swallowing issues. The vet thought maybe a mass in her throat but the last week she was having trouble breathing. The specialty vets were off for the holidays so we couldn’t get a scope or scan to pinpoint the issue. The last week progressed so fast that the final conclusion was that it was a fast growing cancer somewhere in her nasal-throat-trachea area but we’ll never know for sure. X-rays were inconclusive because that area has so much stuff. Her breathing was so labored that we had to let her go.

I am so sorry for your loss. My cats are my children, and it is so difficult to lose one. I have spent thousands of dollars on specialists over the last few years, and, for the most part, it didn’t help them. They had cancer though, and it seems they offer no effective treatments for it.
I have to put in a good word for the kitty cardiologists though. One of my cats has been seeing one for 6 years, and, if not for the doctor, I would not still have my little girls.
Get a kitten: they heal all wounds.

You WILL see her again!

I would want to know…..but but your call. If it was something that could have been treated, if caught in a timely fashion, then you would feel worse. But possibly it might have been the same outcome after seeing the specialist. It’s hard either way. I don’t know anything about respiratory problems in animals though.

The problem is that vets don’t know everything about respiratory problems either. It went so fast in the last week that they all felt it was a fast growing cancer somewhere in her throat area.
