Yesterday I
came out into the living room like I always do. Emily was with me since she had
just woken up. We were talking and I noticed our oldest wasn’t moving. I nudged
him and it was obvious he had passed away.
We adopted
Star back in 2005. He was at this really bad shelter in Hendersonville that had
rows and rows of cages. He was very sweet so we brought him home. A few years
later that shelter closed down because of issues with being cruel to animals.
The shelter
had named him Starburst because of a white patch on his head and because they
thought he was a girl. But when we took him in to be fixed, the vet told us
that she was a he and he was already neutered.
We changed
his name to Star since that was a little more manly. He adjusted to being our
pet quite well even after we added another cat, Willow, and a baby to the mix.
He was always so sweet with Emily even as a baby.
A while ago
he started losing weight and having breathing issues. We took him to the vet
but the vet couldn’t find anything wrong. He didn’t seem to get worse but he
didn’t get better either.
So it wasn’t
that surprising that he passed but it was shocking to find him that way. We
aren’t sure how old he was but we had him for 8 years. He was a great kitty and
he’ll be sorely missed.
