I got off of work around 5:30, went home to pick up the bag of fluids and headed to the ex's house to give Toula fluids to make her more comfortable. When I was nearly there, he called and said that Toula had died in her box on the porch.
While I feel awful about this, it seems to have been fairly painless; she only stopped eating last night (ate normally yesterday) and got to die in her box at her own home.
Oh no (((CW))) how is your ex doing? At least she was at home in her box.
Rest at peace Toula..

I know the ex is upset. We are in a wierd situation, since we did not expect the evening to go this way. He had offered a nice dinner since I was coming to help Toula. I stopped and picked up the 21 year old on the way, and the youngest was here because it is his weekend. So, instead of eating dinner after Toula got comfortable as planned, the boys are digging a grave in the backyard and the ex is continuing to prepare dinner, while I sit in his office and type this.
This is sad news. I hope you're not blaming yourself thinking that you needed to be there sooner than you were. Toula was obviously very sick and I know you and your ex did everything you could to help her. Please extend my sympathies to your ex for this very sad loss. =(
Toula was so wierd. She did not enjoy the company of other cats. If her brother Tristan met her at the Rainbow Bridge, she probably cuffed him with her paw. She only liked men and disliked me, forgetting that it was me who saved her from a garage sale with kittens running about a garden. If I dared pet her, she moved her back as low as possible away from my hand and when I was done, immediately cleaned the spot where I touched her. My son would be holding her and she would be purring, and I would reach out to pet her and she would immediately stop purring. She adored the ex, which is why she went with him when we separated.
{{{hugs Toula}}} and may her passing be in peace.

I am so sorry for the passing of Toula, may she rest in peace and play with her brother Tristan at the rainbow bridge. I am glad she went in peace. Stay strong. =hugs=

I'm so sorry, CW. Even with Toula's little idiosyncrasies, we always love them. It sounds as though her passing was peaceful. And I'm sure that Tristan was there to meet her - with his full body armor on.
Toula had a good life and was loved. That is what matters.

i am so sorry to hear of toula's passing. ((( CW and Toula)))))) . yes i am sure she is with tristan and all the other tdk kitties. i know it is so hard t]to loose a loved one. i have tears in my eyes knowing what you are going through. please keep us posted on how you are doing and if there's anything i can do . i send prayers for toula's memorial service..
Catching up late on this sad news CW. Now that she is at the bridge, she knows that you saved her, but she probably will always prefer the boys...it's OK, it's these little personality preferences that makes them all unique and special
((CW)) ((ex))

CW, I'm so sorry for little Toula, the ex and you but I am glad it was peaceful. TL's so right, they can be ornery little things but it's hard not to love them, even so. I have known quite a few cats who prefer men, even though it's the women of the house that feed them, how unfair is that?
{{CW}} I am sorry to be reading this. I am glad she passed peacefully. I sounds like she did. {{Toula}}
