I had a cat since I was 9 (I'm 22), he was living at my mom's house and as of this month I was planning on taking him to my house this coming month. I don't have a good relationship with my mom and my sister told my mom I wanted him back.
Last week (Wednesday) my sister called me and told me my cat had been attacked by a dog. Apparently he'd been attacked on Tuesday but my mom didn't call me to tell me. I drove up too late to see him but I did the next day. I saw him on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday driving up each day (1 1/2 hours away with good traffic!). He was paralyzed waist down, had trouble peeing and couldn't walk.
The office was closed this Sunday so I drove up today to see him. When I got there the vet told me he was sick so they called my mom. She asked that he be euthanized. This all happened YESTERDAY.
I had a feeling that he wouldn't make it, but my only wish was that he would go with me there. He's extremely affectionate and well-bonded to me. I can't believe she didn't tell me and euthanized him behind my back. If she had called I would have driven up just to see him and I would have said goodbye.
She did send me this email two hours after she killed him.
Hi ******,
Critter died this morning.
Mom
I don't know what to do. I loved that little guy, and I still can't believe she put him to sleep without even calling me. The worst part is I didn't say goodbye to him. How can I say goodbye without him there? I've already decided I'm never talking to my mom again. This is the worst thing she could ever do to me and my cat. He should have died with me there holding him.
