Our 17 year old cat was diagnosed with cancer at the start of the month. We were watching and waiting to see how she was with the support of our vet but she declined rapidly since Monday and last night we had to go and see the emergency vet and have her put to sleep.
We are all devastated. Our 10 and 16 year olds cried themselves to sleep and I didn't sleep much either, neither did my husband.
When I went downstairs to get ready for work this morning I burst into tears at the sign of her bowls and bed.
I know we did the right thing for her but I keep picturing her last few hours and how poorly she is.
RIP beautiful girl. I hope you are flying high up there, chasing birds and having lots of treats. Thank you for all the love, cuddles and joints of beef from the neighbours that you dragged in over the years xx
