Sugar was a sweet and gentle white female cat.

My then boyfriend (now husband) and I were having

a lot of problems and were on the verge of splitting up.

 

On New Years Eve we found this cold wet cat under

my car trying to escape the rain. Love at first sight!

She honestly brought us back together.

After about a month she started having respiratory spells

which was finally diagnosed as feline leukemia.

Someone had probably dumped her for that reason.

 

We held on to her as long as we could.

The vet said she was in no pain.

When she had no appetite we hand fed her steamed shrimp.

 

Then came the time. She wouldn't even eat her shrimpies.

After trying to get her to eat for three days and trying to give

her water by medicine dropper we took her and had her put to sleep.

This was a very painfull experience for me.

Writing this brings it all back.

 

Sugar you were loved very much!!!
