My beautiful cat passed away yesterday. I'm heartbroken. She was 16, and I can't imagine life without her. She was sick yesterday morning which is not unusual for her. We went out for a few hours and when we got back, she was walking strangely and I knew it was bad. She then started fitting which was awful. I wrapped her in a blanket and rushed her to the vets, she carried on fitting all the way and just as we got there she died in my arms.
I only ever took her to the vet if I absolutely had to as she was terrified of them and it was a very traumatic experience for her. Now, looking back I wonder if she had hyperthyroidism and if I should have taken her. Over the past 2 years she lost a lot of weight although her appetite was the same. I just put this down to old age. She was also seeking out cool places to sleep which I put down to it being summer. Over the last few months she stopped grooming herself which I also put down to age. I feel so guilty that I could have done more to make her life better.
