My Beautiful Baby Beau
Monday 20th August 2007
Well I thought my luck had finally changed for the matter but it wasnt meant to be. Today my beautiful flame, Beau died in my arms whilst trying to get him to a vet. It is almost 99% certain that he sufferred from a severe allergic asthmatic reaction to a new plug in air freshner I had brought last night.
I have always used plug in air freshners in the house with no problems but I brought the new 3 in 1 type last night because it was on offer, well it has turned out to be the worst £3.29 I have ever spent.
According to the vet, asthma in cats is quite common for the young to middle age, usually you get sympthoms of wheezing and coughs but in the case where the asthma is caused by an allergic reaction there are no warnings and the cat goes downhill extremely fast. Even if we had gotten him to the vets in time the outcome probably would have been the same as the wouldnt have been able to give treatment without 1st having done an x-ray and how severe the reaction to the allegen was, he wouldnt have survived the sedation for the x-ray.
So in loving memory to my Flambeau, obviously god did judge you and saw how beautiful and loving you are and decided to give you your angel wings sooner than expected.
Although it is hard for me to write this, I felt I just had to warn you all, this can happen to perfectly health cats without warning and the causes are numberous, a new cleaning product, new cat litter, a new washing powder, air freshners etc can all cause allergic reactions. The only advice I can give is how I am going to continue with life now, dont risk it, stick with what you know! No matter what the "offer", its NOT worth it! I just hope I can save anyone else having to go through this terrible experience.

Flambeau means Beautiful Flame.
Although Beau was the smallest in the litter of EIGHT!!! he had the most character. He did stop purring, he loved cuddles but could get into just as much mischief as Monti and was forever pouncing on his brother Wicket. He loved to snuggle.
There hasn't been a day gone by that I don't miss my beautiful baby Beau and how I wish I could hold him and tell him how I love him, just one last time.
Run free with all the Angel's Beau, I know you are lighting up the heavens just like you lighten up my life.
