Our precious baby kitty, Zaide, passed away today around 4:00 p.m. .
I was {home alone, Ryan at work} outside and heard Zaide fall off the kitchen table. I heard him meowing in pain and ran inside. He was laying on the kitchen floor by the table. He looked at me, twitched his paw, and took his last breath. I could do nothing. I couldn't stop my beautiful boy from leaving us. He was gone.
I saw a bee flying around in the window. I killed the bee and saw that he had no stinger in him. Ryan and I suspect that the bee stung Zaide and he had a reaction to it and died. We also think that maybe the bee stung him, scared him, and he fell off the table and broke his neck or something. We aren't sure. Whatever it was, it was very tragic and he didn't suffer.
We took Zaide's body into our vet, to have him cremated and the ashes returned to us. This was the hardest thing we have had to do together.
I came home 2 hours early from work, Ryan's mom dropped me off home. Her and I sat around the house and talked about Zaide and how tiny he was. We played him him and laughed at how adorable he was and how he was never going to grow. After Ryan's mom left, I felt the urge to cuddle Zaide because he is so darn cute.
I just didn't know that minutes later he would be ripped from my life. He was only 7 months old, just a baby. We were waiting for him to grow up big like Juji. Zaide's whole litter was very tiny. I don't know what his outcome later in life would have been because of how tiny he was. We just thought they were "dwarfs". At this time, I do not think that his size effected his death. He was a super healthy kitty.
I sat on the kitchen floor screaming for him to get up. I turned my head and thought if I turned it back, he would get up to play. His little black body just laid there. I screamed and screamed and cried....nothing happened. The neighbors didn't even come over to see if I needed help (the windows were wide open, they were outside).
Ryan is absolutely heart broken. He cried his eyes dry, as well. He really loved Zaide. Zaide was "his kitty".
Juji is so lonely already. He was right next to Zaide when he died. Juji jumped from the table and just sat next to Zaide after he had passed. Zaide was his buddy, we got Zaide for him, now he has no one.
Zaide loved to terrorize the bunny room and sit with Marlin and Benson in their cages. They lost a good friend, as well. Zaide also always loved to sit on my lap and lick my hands/chin while I went to the bathroom.
This house is really lonely. I am/have lost two things that "completed" my life. Benson is going to his new forever home and Zaide has been torn from our home and this unfair earth.
Rest well, my beautiful little baby boy :tears2:...
Our lives are so torn apart right now. It's so unfair.
