Sad News :(

My mom had to have our cat put down yesterday. She'd been sick for a while, but was showing improvement with antibiotics. The vet thinks she had some form of kidney or bladder cancer, because for the last year she's been having a hard time finding the litter box. She was an old cat, I think she may have just turned 17 this month. It hasn't hit me that hard yet because I don't live there, but it's still very sad. RIP Sissy :cry:

She's the one in the front. Imagine that plump cat plummeting down to 5 lbs :(

Very sorry to hear :( 17 years is a long time, and I'm sure she had a very good life.

yeah, our cats have always lived a long time, i think the last one before her was 15. the orange one in the picture lives with me, so now my parents only have the grey guy, Gizmo. He's never been a people-cat, but maybe now that he's by himself he will be. It's very sad, she was a very good cat, never any health problems or emergency vet visits, just routine maintenance i suppose.

I'm sorry to hear your loss Melissa...... it sounds like you really loved Sissy a lot and she had to have known that :(

Sometimes we mourn our pets more than some of our relatives! They usually live to PLEASE US, rather then the other way around. EVERYDAY they are thrilled:fluffy: to see us, betcha can't think of of too many people with the same attitude.

Sorry for the loss. I just put my dog down and its like loosing a member of the family. Our pets always give us love.

thats what she was by the time we had to do it. she was probably 7 lbs last time i saw her. She was almost put down about 2 months ago, but when she showed improvement my mom brought her home. I went and visited her a few times after that. Mom said she lost 2 lbs in a few weeks and it just wasnt good :(

Thanks for all the kind words
