Emmy Lou crossed the bridge today. Dear sweet kitty. She was 16. She developed treatment resistant asthma but we couldn’t rule out cancer either. Although she was still eating, her breathing was becoming more labored and she was clearly more panicked when she had an acute episode of shortness of breath.
I used a euthanasia service that comes to the house. Her passing was so peaceful in my arms. Godspeed Emmy.

Aww, so sorry to hear. What a pretty girl. Hugs to you 
So sorry for your loss! Emmy Lou was beautiful!
Very sorry for your loss of Emmy Lou. RIP pretty one.
I’m so sorry. I was hoping you’d finally gotten the meds sorted and she was on the mend.
Hugs and jingles to you.
I’m so sorry @Kyrabee. Emmy will live on in your heart. I hope all your warm loving memories assuage your grief and bring you solace. Rest easy sweet beautiful kitty.
Yes…I thought we had meds sorted out. She would do better for 36-48 hrs then backslide. She did that a couple times. I started the inhaled steroid last week and after about a week, it was giving her stridor and seemed to make her breathing worse for a while post dose. Despite eating well, she was losing weight…down to less than 7.5lbs when her fighting weight in her younger days was 9.5lbs. She was just using all her energy to move air. It was just time. I almost feared I was that day late as she had an acute episode this morning that clearly panicked her. She did settle with some albuterol.
She was my first cat. I had always had dogs but after my last dog died, I decided that my schedule was not conducive to a new dog so I gave it a go with a cat. She was a perfect first cat. She was 10 months old when I got her.
I did get her a companion (a 5 week old male kitten). She was beyond unimpressed. I often times got some real stink-eye from her when he was hogging the attention or creating havoc. He is still with me and 15 years old so the house isn’t totally empty of little footfalls.
Godspeed sweet tabby cat… and hugs to you, it’s hard, no matter what.
I am so sorry to read this. I hoped that she would improve with all you were doing for her. She is very pretty - the face says I am The Queen. RIP good Kitty.
Godspeed, sweet Emmy Lou
& Peace to you, giving her the gift of a stress-free passing {HUG}
