Thanks guys.
I'm ok, really sad but there was nothing that we could do for her. We went to visit this morning and they did her bloods there and then. The vet said that there was no change and her bladder was very small and her kidneys just weren't doing the job. She said the next step was to think about letting her go. I'm heartbroken, she was my little girl, but she was ill and not herself. She just went to sleep peacefully and that was that.
I'm just gathering all her things up as I don't want reminders all over the house - I've given her food to the lady across the road who is elderly and slightly disabled who has a cat and new kitten and I'm hoping I can donate her bowls, litter trays scratching post etc to the RSPCA or similar.
She was an awesome kittie and I'll miss her strange and cute ways.

I'm so sorry for your loss! I've had 2 really awesome kitties, and losing them was heartbreaking. I still have dreams where I come home and they are both just there all nonchalantly hanging out, even though it has been years since they were with us and they never knew each other.

Ah hon I'm so sorry, I'm known as the "Cat Lady" by my friends as I am absolutely a massive cat lover. When I lost my little Alfie a few years ago to FIV I was distraught, but he had the happiest home and was more loved than most cats will ever know. I'm sure Perci knew that, and you did everything you could being the best mummy she could have dreamed of xxx

Thanks guys, I'm feeling a bit better today. I kept waking in the night because I thought I could hear her!!
She was stupidly loved and was very happy here, so I am really glad about that.

Honestly, Gem, I absolutely dread the day when my cats pass away, so I can only imagine how you feel. Care to share some of her quirks and signature shannanigans? For some reason, her picture makes me think she purred with a British accent.

Gem I don't know if you have ever read this poem before, but I thought I would share it with you. www.petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htmIt comforted me so much when my families dog passed away. I'm with Karen I dread the day my Mcgee passes away. I'm a cat lady through and through. Again I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope you are doing ok.

Thank you Paint, that's really lovely I really thought she would be with me for years, but there we go. Karen, she loved to wind the boyf up! If I went to her she would roll over and purr and lick my fingers etc, if he went over she would (play) fight him every time. She would get his toes in the middle of the night, but not mine - this drove him crazy but I always found it quietly funny. When she went outside, she would do this cute thing where I would let her out, she would bomb out of the door, then stop at the gate, look round, run back to me, miaw and then run off throught the gate! I liked top think it was her remembering to say goodbye
