Had to put my tabby cat to sleep on Monday. I had Kat 18 years and she was probably nearly 20 years old. She was still like a youngster to look at her. I got her as a rescue to comfort me when my Brother died.
She could have had a good few more years in her except for the tumor in her jaw that eventually stopped her being able to eat. She had lost a quarter of her body weight and we decided it was better to let her go then to let her starve and suffer with the painful and bleeding growth in her mouth.
The only treatment the vet could offer was to remove her jaw, an operation that she had never known to have been done sucessfully before. I couldn't see any reason to do that to her.
It is just starting to get to me.
