Ragdoll Cat Forums

Today our oldest raggie Hendrix died at the age of 13 years old.
He probably got a stroke last night. We sat up with him all night, trying to comfort him but this morning he still looks completely lost (he is blind since 5 years) and it seemd he was in pain and discomfort. So we went to the vet, and he said the only thing we could do for Hendrix was to let him go. So he's put to sleep and he's over the rainbow now.
We are very very sad, but also very proud Hendrix lived with us for 13 years.
Two and a half weeks ago Eddie and Luna (two ragdoll kitties) came home to us, and Hendrix immediately took care of the little ones. This morning Eddie wouldn leave Hendrix for a minute. I hope they won't miss Hendrix as much as we do, they are still so young.
We never ever forget the very unique, adorable and very wise Hendrix, but I am glad he's in peace now and is not suffering anymore.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

I know how hard it is to lose one. It hurts and it takes time and also it does take time with the cats. It took our 2 we had here awhile to quit searching for Sebby and sniffing for him. They meowed - Wylee who does not looking for Sebby and needing comforting. So I think they do have to grieve also. Just reassure them of your love for them.

Know we are here if you need to talk.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Too many of us on here know from experience how painful it is to lose a beloved cat, and we're all here for you.

So sorry to hear of your loss, hopefully you will be somewhat comforted by your warm memories. I know how awful it is to lose a fur baby.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear that! Cherish his memories, and be thankful that you have your two healthy baby kittens. I'm so glad we have been able to see his beautiful pictures and hear his stories. I will be thinking about you!

I am so very sorry for your loss, but happy you were able to share a part of him with us. May you find comfort in knowing he's in a place away from pain and able to see again.

So sorry you had to say good-bye to your long time friend.

I am so very sorry to hear about Hendrix. He was a beautiful cat and I have no doubt he was deeply loved.
