Bit 'O Bad News

Well, my friends...unfortunately, this isn't going to be the best post ever. I have a bit 'o bad news to share with you all. I begged my human not to post this, but alas, she said this blog was about me and what goes on in my world. ~Sigh~ So, here it is...

I know most of you are familiar with Satan the Cat, however, I don't much talk about the other cat that lives with me. Her name is Scooter. And here she is... She is the blackish grey kitty. She's about 13 years old...

Okay so here is the bad news that must be delivered...

It all started out Monday afternoon. My human went off to work and shortly after she left my God human arrived to spring me free from my crate. She was paying a lot of attention to Scooter that afternoon. I heard her calling my human, she sounded upset and I noticed that water was falling from her eyes. Being that I was thirsty anyway, I decided to lick the water up and clean her face a little bit. It was weird...normally, when I do that the humans giggle and the water stops falling from their eyes, but this time it didn't do anything. I think I must have lost my touch, either that or I am broken...

Next thing I know my human is at the front door! That's right! She came home early from work just to see me! She walked through that door with a big smile on her face, and some very large and delicious looking sunglasses that I couldn't wait to lick. But she ignored me! I was stunned and at a complete loss for words! As my God human left with water running down her face she grabbed a big bundle of blankets and I was once again shunned and left to be alone in my crate. I was so busy being mad that it took a little time for me to realize that Scooter was missing. I'm pretty sure that she was in the bundle of blankets with my God human, but I couldn't be sure...

So I waited, waited, waited...and waited some more. Then FINALLY! The humans arrived home. This time, both of the humans had water falling from their eyes, and unfortunately I wasn't thirsty! There was no way I could clean both of their faces in a timely manner.

After I got out all of my excitement, I realized that Scooter was missing. At first I thought maybe someone stole her, and that's why my human and God human looked like they got punched in the eyeballs, 'cause they faught to get Scooter away from the theif...

Next thing I knew my human let me and all of my 64.2 pounds lay on her while she whispered in my ear. At first I didn't understand what she was saying, nor did I care...she was stroking my ear and I nearly fell asleep until I realized that she whispered something like, "Never during the 8 months that I waited for you did I think about this part of things...I never thought that one day I was going to have to let you go, that some day a part of me would be missing, maybe I never should have gotten a Little T-Bone, because I don't think I will be able to handle losing you."

ACK!!!! Now, I don't know about all of you, but what I think she meant was that she wished she never got me! Well...I had to clear that up REAL QUICK! I got to work on her face...and let me tell you, it did not taste good at all! I worked real hard, so hard that I got thirsty and had to get the biggest drink ever. I then climbed back on to my human and continued to work on her face, and even some of her hair (she had some split end that needed to be trimmed). The excess water that I brought back made things much easier...then it was done, I finally heard what I had been waiting for all evening...a giggle - it started off little, but the more detail oriented I got around her eyeballs the louder she giggled! Whew, I wasn't broken after all...my human and God human were.

So, for the part of the trip that I missed, my human filled me in on later. Apparently, my God human got home and Scooter looked really sick. Her eyes were sunken in and she was really, really thin. That's when my God human knew something was wrong. Afterall, Scooter is her cat, so she would know if something was wrong. My human rushed home to take her and Scooter to the Animal ER. I could tell my human was trying to be brave, because her smile was a little too big to be real when she walked through the door. She kept telling my God human that everything would be okay, though she knew the day would end in even more tears.

Once they arrived to the ER, a doctor saw Scooter and told the humans that she didn't look good. (Uhhhh DUH!!!! That's why they brought her!) He said that her kidney's were about 1/4 of the size that he was expecting them to be, and he suspected that she was suffering from kidney failure. He said that my God human could try to get her healthy again, but chances weren't the best and he couldn't promise she would be any better. That's when my God human decided to Youth-In-Eyes her. I always thought she had youthful eyes, so that part I didn't quite get.

Scooter then left us all and crossed over to that rainbow bridge that I have been hearing a lot about. For all those that know others over the rainbow, could you please remind everyone to be nice to her, she was my roommate. And, she likes anything Salmon...

They put Scooter in a little coffin, then my human and God human took Scooter over to my God human's first home with her dad. They buried Scooter next to her other childhood pets. From what I hear Scooter had a great life. So for that I was thankful. It's always good to have decent humans around to dote over us.

Needless to say, things have been really sad over here for the past couple of days, which means that I have been working doubley hard to bring smiles to everyone. I've been doing a lot of this...

And some of this...

A little peek-a-boo...

And finally after all the water has dried up, I've been able to rest. I'm exhausted. I haven't even had any time to lick my de-marbled area (which by the way is looking good so far according to the vet! I knew my spit was magical!)

Anyway, I hope all of your weeks started out better than over here in my world. Worry not though! For I am Mr. T-Bone Beasley Ruler of all that I see...and I will make sure that no human or kitty stays sad for too long while in my presence!

This is Mr. T-Bone Beasley signing out!

Slurp!
