R.I.P Hugh - Antifreeze Poisoning
Hello again readers, This is a sad post about a tragic event we've wanted to talk about for a while but could never quite find the words. Shockingly, we lost our beloved cat Hugh to antifreeze poisoning. Hugh was a gentle cat who didn't have a bad bone in his body. He never ventured much further than the drive, so we are confident that it was a very local incident. Even more disturbingly, there is numerous outdoor cats on our quiet estate - it could've easily happened to any of them too. We saw Hugh before we went to bed and he was acting a little usual, but he was always an odd cat anyway - if only we had known what had happened to him. In the morning, I woke up to Hugh in an almost paralyzed state and convulsing on my bedroom floor. His muscles were twitching, his jaw was clenched shut, he was freezing and also extremely dehydrated. I wrapped him in my blanket and ran to get my syringes. I forced some fluids down - but it wasn't helping. Hugh was dying painful...
