For those who knew Chester.
 

Our older cat Chester passed away tonight in my arms while on the way to the vet. We got home from IA and noticed he had problems breathing so we called to get him in tonight yet for an emergancy exam. He didn't make it, he took his last few breaths in my arms in the backseat of Jana's car while we where on 94.

Safe to say we are pretty broken up about it, he's been part of our family for almost 9 years now and he was such an awesome cat. It's just something we never expected to deal with anytime soon and I hate not having him around.

Oh man!!! I'm sorry dude. Turbo sends his regards.

Sorry to hear about that! Had things seemed normal with him before leaving town?

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

That really sucks guys, i feel for you.

At the very least you know you were doing everything you could to help him out. Being in your arms is probably exactly where he wanted to be.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

Yeah, everything seemed fine before we left, same old normal cuddly lazy cat. I'm just glad he held on as long as he did, we where back out the door 30 min after we got home with him heading to the GV emergancy vet. It really fucking sucks though, I never thought I'd be this broken up over a pet but now I get it.

I'm sorry to hear that Allan. He was an awesome cat. It just won't be the same without him.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

Sorry to hear, dude. :( Hopefully you guys replace him with a similar cat that isn't a psycho like that other one you have.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

It's amazing how close people really get to their pets. I've suffered 2 dog losses in recent years, so I know how you are feeling. It sucks, but atleast chester is in a better place now. I'm sure he had a good life, with a great family.

My condolences to the both of you, it really sucks to lose a pet. I have lost a few dogs in the past and it is really difficult.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

I didn't know him or anything, but I'm really glad you got home in time and were able to be with him. I've worked in a shelter as well as a vet clinic and seen a quite a few animals pass. It seems to be so much easier for them, especially cats if they can be held and comforted. I'm sure you guys being there made him much less frightened and more comfortable.

My condolences, cat's are the greatest pets.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

Sorry to hear man, I just lost my cat this last year the same way it really sucks.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

I'm so sorry to hear that Allan and Jana. I know how much a part of the family he was to you guys. He will definately be missed.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

I also lost a couple cats in the past. It's not good.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

Pets are like memebers of the family. Sorry to hear this.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

Sorry to hear Allan. Its never a easy thing to get through.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

Our condolences to both Jana and you.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

I am so sorry to hear that guys! That cat was a big part of your family and was a very good pet to both of you. It is nice that he hung on long enough to see you guys that one last time.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

My kitties are sorry to hear about your loss.

Re: For those who knew Chester.
 

Sorry to hear guys. It's always tough. Does Flo seem any different with Chester gone?
