I am so sad to hear of this, Diana. Sad for your loss. Pets share a bond with us that only other pet lovers understand. What a special cat Squeaky is! What a blessing she has been to you! Our pet animals are such gifts!
Your article is a wonderful tribute to her. And, I must tell you that it is vital information. Our own cat who came to us as a stray shows signs of this disease. We wondered why he frequently vomits his food up. We've tried all types, dry, canned, different brands.
The problem is that we have no idea how old he is and he will not go into the car or a carrier as he has been "on his own" for who knows how long. Although he loves to come inside to sleep and get lots of love, he is mainly an outdoor cat.
Now, I believe that he, too, must have renal disease because he shows all of the symptoms you mentioned.
But he still eats so that is one good sign.
Thank you for sharing. And I'm not sure what your beliefs are, but in my personal experience, I can tell you that my beloved border collie still visits us in spirit on occasion. He bounds playfully about now without all that pain in his hind quarters. May this give you peace and hope for your joyous reunion.
That you love Squeaky so much is the sign that she really did her job well here on earth! What a precious cat!
