my 16 year old crossed over today🖤
this is louis, he's 16.
my family brought him to the vet today because he wasn't doing too well, and his rbc was at 8. he was extremely anemic and lethargic, and dehydrated but when they hydrated him it only made him worse. not his kidneys or anything else, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong. i suspect cancer, but they didn't find anything wrong so idk. the thing is he was acting perfectly normal before today. i know cats are good at hiding things but i can't help but feel like he had more time, even though he was so old.
i'm away at college in arizona, my family is back home in florida. i'm across the country and couldn't even say goodbye to him. he's been a part of my family for 16 years (im 18) and i feel so terrible that i couldn't do more for him. before i came back to school when winter break was over, i told him to just hold on until i got back for summer. i'm supposed to fly back home in a month for summer break. just one more month was all i needed.
