Josh's surrogate dad George died yesterday. George was 17 and we adopted him when he was 13. George had been ill a lot in the past year and we almost lost him last Christmas and earlier this year. He'd be having difficulties with his bladder and had a mass in it. On Sunday night he had a seizure and during the day he'd stopped eating and just kept trying to go to the litter tray. The vet said he really needed to improve within 24 hours but he didn't. Yesterday he had another seizure and we took him to the vets and he was put to sleep in my arms.
Josh adored George, he forever followed him about and loved to rub round him. Today is Josh's birthday, he's two today and nothing we can do will cheer him up. He's jsut been lost all day, wandering around and not settling down to sleep. I feel so sad for losing George, well devastated and I feel so sorry for Josh too.

We are so sorry! Poor Josh - I know how he feels, a little bit. I lost Anastasia last year and felt very lost. The staff gave me a kitten, Emil, and he really helped me. Then I lost Emil. And we were all sad again. The staff gave me Tintin, and that helped. I will never have the kind of relationship I had with Anastasia again..... but I am o.k. with it and happy.

I'm so sorry to hear about you and Joshies loss. Lots of hugs for both of you. I'm sure George is drinking from those big old milk streams and eatting those tuna fish trees now.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you and Josh are well.
Just checking in to see how things are going... We hope Josh feels a bit better....
I'm so sorry for your loss and for Joshie, because he is feeling so lost at this moment... George is ok, resting, but the ones that are left behind are the ones that suffer.
How are things going? We hope to get an update soon!
