So this weekend was supposed to be a happy one . Austin turns 9 on Sunday and we are having his party this afternoon (Its saturday here in Okinawa all ready)
I received an email 2 days ago with some not so good news about our sweet Mocha kitty we left with our dear neighbors when we moved over here . As if that wasnt hard enough.....
I now have to tell our son who still cries to this day when he looks at pics of his kitty that he has passed away.
It seems that Mocha became ill very suddenly , was unable to use his hind legs to even stand up and had been spraying the house (so they thought) they brought him into the vet that day where he stayed for 2 days and only got worse. It turns out he had a tumor on his bladder that was cancer.
My heart goes out to our sweet friends Erika and Brad for having to go through this and there 4 children who love Mocha and will miss him dearly.
I still haven't told Austin as of yet.. I figure I would wait till his FUN weekend was over. I know it will be rough , he has never LOST a pet so to speak , other than having to give up his pets to move to this island.....
Sometimes being a mommy just sucks .... having to break your wittle ones heart!

Oh...I am so sorry! I am such a cat lover and realy take it to heart when someone looses their kitty! XOXO
So sorry about your kitty. That just sucks! It is so hard for the kids. Try to keep him busy and his mind busy so he won't get so sad. That helped my son when we had to put down a puppy we got once. He was about the same age.

I'm so sorry. It's so hard to lose a pet.
Prayers for your precious kitty. My dog is my baby, I just don't know what I would do. Blessings for you.
