rodheadlee Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Sebastian is our 18 year old cat. He is a great sailing buddy. He has a blood clot that has affected his hind legs. The vet says it's the result of fighting a major infection. I can't put him to sleep yet he is still my buddy and he still had quality of life until last night.Also we have to leave Boot Key Harbor in Florida this evening and sail north to Georgia before we blow our weather window. We're 2 days behind waitng for medication. Our first stop is Palm Beach, 165 miles.Thanks!Rod Edited June 30, 2012 by rodheadlee Link to comment

ERMD Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Our cat made it to 19. She lay down one day and gave my wife a look as if to say, "I just can't do this anymore."Prayers for you. Link to comment
Garden Girl Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I too have a wonderful feline companion... Bob... so I know how you feel. I always express my thanks for Bob in my prayers and include him in my prayers for well being...I do pray that what is right for Sebastian will be, and that you will know if and when it's time to let go.GG Link to comment

Garden Girl Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks for your prayers, Sebastian passed away in his sleep today.I'm so sorry Rod... but think what a wonderful life he had, sailing the seas with you and your wife. You gave him 18 years... Now he waits for you at the Rainbow Bridge.GG Link to comment
Calm Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 GG is right, you know that he had a good life with you due to the length of it. I hope that you and your wife will receive all the comfort you need to accept the void his absence makes in your life right now. Link to comment
bluebell Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I am sorry he died, but what a blessing that he died in his sleep. It's so hard to take a beloved pet in to be put to sleep when they are too sick to have any quality of life anymore. . Link to comment
