So let me break it down. I come home today and arrive at about 5. My mom shows up at 6ish. She walks in, goes "Hey, nice surprise...i have something to tell you..."...she begins to half cry...thats when i knew...My cat, Tilly, was dead. I knew this because as soon as i walked in the door, i started whistling (because tilly ALWAYS came to that)...but nothing. I looked in the basement, i looked up stairs, i looked on my moms bed...i even whistled as loud as i could outside...nothing. So i just assumed she was somewhere sleeping...but when mom goes "i have to tell you something" i knew exactly what she was going to say...so i go "my cat died didn't she"...then i began to cry. I honestly loved that cat a lot. She was my cat for at least 13,14 years...she was old, but just last week she was cool. She seemed fine. So apparently what happened was that on tuesday she started meowing really loud, as if in pain. mom said she'd get up, walk 2 steps, then just fall over and meow...So mom wrapped her in a blanket on tuesday night so she'd be okay and warm...then mom wakes up wednesday morning and tilly isn't in the blanket...she looked everywhere and eventually found her upstairs...when she picked her up, she meowed really loud as if in pain....so they took her to get xrayed and she had a tumor that got so big it pressed up against her heart and cut of her circulation...mom said she was meowing in so much pain...mom said she (as in my mom) was a mess, just crying everywhere. She said my dad even cried...thats how much Tilly meant to us. She was a lovely cat, and loved to cuddle with me...I miss her so much...I can't believe she's gone...She's been my cat the majority of my life, now she's gone forever...i loved her a lot...dad buried her out back next to the only other cat to make the entire family cry...kitter, who died when i was like 5...then we got Tilly not too long after...Unreal...What a day...
