Oh my gosh, this is my third posting in the "In Memory Of" section in a month. A 2nd year memory for my cousin on the 3rd, Uncle Walt on the 4th and now Franky this morning..... Although he wasn't a exact family member.....He was my friends and brother's cat that will always have a place in my heart.....
************************************************************************** I got a call from my friend 3:30amish Kari saying that their cat wasn't doing too well. He kept on breathing rapidly and couldn't walk on his front paws. So I went over to their place, to help take Franky to the pet hospital. I could tell he was in so much pain and I could hear him breathing fast and hard. We got to the hospital as fast as I could get there. They took Franky in.
They put him on some oxygen to help him breathe but it wasn't doing too well. The nurse came out saying it was some sort of heart problem and some type of blot clot that went up his paw and leg. There wasn't anything that could be done. She said even all the money in the world couldn't save him. We had to put him to sleep.
She asked us if one of us would want to be present when they put Franky to sleep. I volunteered, the others didn't want to. I wanted to be there for him to let him know it was alright. That he would hear my voice as he passed on. The nurse brought Franky to a room, wrapped in a towel. He was still breathing rapidly, but slower. He was on some type of drugs. I laid next to him on the couch , petted him, talked to him as the nurse gave him the shot. It was hard watching him like this, hearing my friends crying in the background....I watched him breath his last breathe and he was gone.
I couldn't stop crying. I loved that cat. He wasn't my cat but my friends. We were best buddies. Every time I came over to see Franky, he would always lay on my feet...put his head on my feet and rest there. He always had something with my feet and no one else.
Franky died 5:12am this morning. He was only 4 1/2 years old. I can't believe he is gone....but he is no longer suffering. It just happened all of a sudden. No one had any ideas. He was fine yesterday.... :(
I'm going to miss you Franky. Rest In Peace Frankenstien aka Franky
