Piece of My Heart - Movie and Sad News

The lady ordered a Happy Kitty Hearrrt Attack from Baby Patches store Supplies Just 4 Pets. We are obviously thrilled with our purchase and the store's super fast shipping! But, once again, only ONE toy was purchased and a few scuffles ensued as you can see in the video. When will the lady ever learn to buy more than one? ::rolls eyes::

We give the Happy Kitty Hearrrt Attack 14 paws up! We have our eyes on some other toys over at Supplies Just 4 Pets, like this wicked chipmunk! He's just asking for the bitey!

UNEXPECTED SAD NEWS

***Cal was unexpectedly helped over the rainbow bridge this morning. There was nothing more we could do to help him and it was time to let him go. When I woke up this morning he was not acting like himself and was having difficulty walking. Dr. D said he acquired free fluid in his abdomen over night that was making it hard to breathe. We were both there as he passed and he definitely took a huge piece of our hearts with him. Thanks to all of you for your kind words and prayers during his sickness.*** Thank you KC for this beautiful graphic.

That is an excellent video review. That toy looks like fun stuff.

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

You all had lots of fun with your new toy.

Cory said...

That looks like a very popular heart! You need to be kind to mom...if she bought 7 of them, you'd yawn and look bored. Ok, maybe not. We'll have to go check out the store!

Anonymous said...

That was a really neat-o video! We second the notion that perhaps more than one toy is a good idea!

Zeus said...

Getting new toys is always a blast...until you manage to rip a whole in the toy with stuffing flying everywhere, begging the human pet to buy you another one immediately.

Sorry, I was having a flashback for a moment...

Mishkat said...

I am so sorry to hear about Cal. I'm glad you could both be there with him, but I know how difficult it must be for you to let him go. It really is like losing a piece of one's heart.

Love, hugs, and purrs from Katie, Franklin, Dobby, and Tasha

Cory said...

Oh no!!!! Words can not express our sadness for you on your loss of Cal. This is hitting home for us because we lost our dear Lewis, who looked so much like Cal, in a similar situation. He lost weight over a period of months, had to have fluids and then in the end he accumulated fluid in his chest and couldn't breathe. At that point you have no choice but to hold him and let him go. Our hearts are breaking all over again. Major purrs to you, we'll be thinking about you all day.

Elin said...

Oh my! This is unexpected... We are so sad and don't really know what to say. As always we admire your strength at letting him go when it was time for him. There were so many ups and downs recently but of course we hoped Cal would pull through... But what you described really sounds bad. I was the most loving step you could take to spare him pain and suffering. Still, we wished he were still here. We are truly purring and purring for you! Rest in eternal peace, sweet Cal. We too will miss you very much.
