Let's hope Lamar went to a better place,he was a very sweet 8 year old cat and deserves the best. Another trip to the vet revealed (through a panel of tests) that his kidneys had completely shut down,they were amazed he was functioning at all. Since there was no hope for recovery and nothing but pain and suffering left for him I made the decision every pet owner dreads.
In an effort to distract myself I decided to see if there was anything behind the phrase "having a good cry" (it sure doesn't feel like a good anything). There are three types of tears,basal tears are the moisture that keep our eyes from drying out,reflex tears protect the eye from irritants and emotional tears. When the contents of reflex and emotional tears were analyzed reflex tears were found to be about 98% water,whereas several chemicals are present in emotional tears caused by the bodies reaction to stress. An endorphin is also found in emotional tears that reduces pain and works to improve mood...I'm still waiting for that part to kick in.
