We had to have our female cat put to sleep today. She'd deteriorated very quickly and was losing weight rapidly. She was my little furry buddy in the middle of a busy and stressful life. She made it to 16 which is a fine age. She survived having her jaw broken by a cyclist years ago. I feel utterly heartbroken. I have a couple of hours to wallow then the DCs will be back and I have to get on with stuff. She was always ready for a cuddle and it often felt like she was the only one who gave much more than she took
