Title says it all. One was expected (white cat with carcinoma of the ear; operation in October had failed to eradicate it). The bad days had started to outweigh the good days so we had made a decision to call it a day this week and she made her final journey yesterday. She was a beautiful and gentle cat and we like to think she had a good life with us. She was 15. The other was totally unexpected and happened out of the blue on Tuesday. Terribly distressing and a horrible way to go. Too upset to describe it. Will do a separate post when up to it as I think other cat owners need to be aware of the symptoms. Scooby was 10 and a real livewire but also a lovely, gentle cat too. Never ever thought he would go first. Devastating week. DD (just 7) really upset but she has been trying to comfort me as I just keep bursting into tears. Have given all their beds and blankets to my Dad as can't bear to look at them at present.
