Khobi, my siamese has crossed the bridge
Around Thanksgiving, he went blind very suddenly. The Vet decided it was from high blood pressure. Blood tests showed he had kidney damage, so they didn't know if his bp was high from his kidney problems, or visa versa. He functioned incredibly well, for being blind. He made his way around the house as though he was seeing. Last night Khobi had a seizure. It was the most disturbing thing I have ever witnessed. It lasted only a couple minutes, but it took almost an hour for him to return to somewhat normal. We decided then, his time had come, and we would take him today. This morning, we found him in a coma-like state. He didn't respond to touch or sound. His body agreed, it was time to go. Tony took him in, and they couldn't put the cathater in his arm, there wasn't any blood pressure. So they had to put it directly in his heart. The Vet said, it was total Kidney failure. Khobi was your typical pain in the tush. He craved affection, and to be honest, I didn't mind giving it to him. His best friend Leo passed last May, and Khobi's health deteriorated steadily after that. I'm really going to miss him. When I went home at lunch (this was pre-Vet visit), Tony told me not to go into the basement and see him. I knew it was bad. But before I left, I told him, we will be together again, some other day. My old blue eyes is gone. I have a hole in my heart right now. But I do know, it will heal. And I know, Khobi can see again, and is free at the bridge with his buddy. |

Oh that sounds so sad. Poor thing. I'm so sorry for the loss and having to witness your blue eyes go through that.  |
 |
| I'm sorry Deb |
| Deb, I'm sorry. It's the PITB ones that you miss the most after all, it seems.
Nothing bad will ever happen to him again. Jil |
|
| so sorry you have lost a beloved pet...xx |
|
Poor Khobi - yes it was time. 
to you Deb - and it will get less painful.
Remember the fun and the PITB times, not the poor kitty he was in ill health. He is back to the spunky guy now in kitty heaven. |
| I'm so sorry for your loss of Khobi, Deborah.
You may think that Khobi was blind, but I'm sure he had no problem whatsoever in seeing -as we do- just how much he was loved by you. |
| My friend, I am so sorry for your loss. We will toast Khobi and Leo on Saturday. Til then, {{{{{hugs}}}}} |
| I'm so sorry for your loss. |
| My heart is heavy for you.
I lost my PITB siamese, Kasumi last July. He was 16 years old and I know exactly what you mean by a hole in your heart. I will always miss him, they are so good at worming their way into your heart by demanding that you "LOVE ME NOW" But they return the love in spades those "ol blue eyes" |
| I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort that he is with his friend at the bridge. |
| I am sorry, Deb. Leo and Khobi are together again. |
| I lost my Jasper...my PIB Siamese mix a few years ago. He snuck out under my husband's feet at 1:00 a.m. and tangled with a car...the car won. I do miss him a lot...and he was obnoxious. I am so sorry for your loss Deb, but at least you did know it was over...no question there. |
| Deb: I am so sorry to hear of the loss of beautiful Kholbi. He will be dearly missed.
Tears, |
| so sorry for your loss |

| deb, i am so sorry....huge hugs! |
| Thank you all for your hugs and caring. I was a little in shock yesterday. The whole thing had me rattled. Yes, the PITAs are the ones we miss most. And yes, he had the LOVE ME NOW! attitude. I never wanted him. He was an old boyfriends cat that got dumped on me when the bf left. But that little bugger, with those gorgeous eyes won my heart. As a kitten, he was almost totally white, and as he aged, he got darker and darker, til his face, tail and legs were almost black...and his back turned dark as well. I guess that's what seal points do. He was the best cuddler in the world (the cat, not the bf). But was the noisiest cat ever! He loved to sit on top of the upper kitchen cabinets and watch the world go by...and stay out of reach of the dogs. He once fell off and broke his tail. It left him with the funniest crook in the tail. He once had scuffle with mean ol' Molly, and had a ripped ear to prove it. But, what a love he was. Khobi had to sleep right next to me, with my arm around him...and then he would nuzzle his face in my hand, almost like I was holding a baseball. He was truly unique. So...my little furry friend...you are at the bridge now, with Leo and all the others. Please don't let mean ol' Molly get the other ear. And when we meet up, I will again, gently hold your precious head in my hand, while we sleep.  |
Deb, I'm so sorry for your loss of Khobi - he was a beautiful boy.  Isn't it always the way, that the things you want the least are the ones that come to mean the most to you? |
| Oh, Deb, I'm so sorry. He was a beautiful cat. |
| He was a beautiful boy. I am so sorry he had to go, Deb. Even knowing, as you did, that it was time to let him go, it is sooo hard to do. You have my deepest condolances.
..and if she doesn't stop undecorating my tree and un-wrapping the packages, you may get Pearl for Hanuakkah.  |
| Oh Deb,
I am so very sorry for your loss. |
| I am so sorry. |
| Deb
I am so sorry....
I know our babies are all fine in some other place. Kissy loved cats so, I am sure she and Khobi are snuggling right now...... I bet Khobi is passing on Pirate kisses to Kissy! I am so sorry |
| We are so sorry to hear that Khobi passed away. Siamese are special kitties, aren't they? After our Siamese, Cocoa, passed away, we decided to get our first sheepie - and Cocoa was good preparation!
He was a such a stinker......loud, and friendly, and sweet and wanted to be wherever we were........sound familiar? Khobi will be missed.
Laurie, Angelo and Oscar |

So sorry for the loss of your much loved khobi, I do think we miss the "stinkers" more They seem to intertain us in life. Hugs to you and your family Cindy |
| Thanks, all. This morning was the worst so far. I was expecting him to jump into bed with me for a cuddle. Then I remembered. I think after their passings, it gets worse before it gets better. I'm waiting the getting better part. I can't bring myself to use the part of kitchen counter where his bowls were. I'm going to make myself do that this weekend. (His food was kept at the end of counter, so the dogs didn't steal it.) |
| I was thinking, Deb... and I'm not sure why...but maybe it would be comforting to hold a ball of yarn in your hand while in bed? |

That's sweet. But I think I have to do this cold turkey. Thanks for the caring suggestion . |
| Oh Deb, your are reminding me of all the tough stuff. I ended up hiding all Kasumi's stuff up in the roof storage space. I tried keeping his blanket with me at night but it just made me worse, he was a real snugglebum at night too. It does get better with time but there were good days and bad days and even writing this now is a bit hard. It does seem that the more demanding and noisey the little dudes are the bigger the hole they leave when they're gone. Good luck, please pm me if I can help at all. But I am thinking of you and know what its like. Mim |
| I'm so sorry. |
| I'm so sorry for the passing of your sweet kitty. Each animal is so special and irreplaceable. They live on forever in our hearts and in our minds.
