Our hospital cat, the one neighbors left in a box on our front yard last November, has passed away. We don't know her birth year but the vets told us she was 15-18 years old. When we got her, Ginger was diagnosed with many problems but the biggest were severe (6 of 6) Arrhythmia, and kidney failure.
For the past five months she has thrived and had been gaining weight. But about a week ago she stopped eating despite being plied with all kinds of fancy cat and human foods though she continued to look happy and still purred contentedly around her adoptive litter mates.
Friday she went with us for a weekend on Horizon and she loved it. The aft stateroom was perfect for her - the port holes on the stern are inches above the berth and she spent the nights peering out at the water and all the goings on around us.
She was failing rapidly though and yesterday exhibited labored breathing. Today we made the difficult decision to prevent her further distress and had the vet send her on her final journey.
Ginger had endeared herself to us and will be missed greatly.
