I don't know why I haven't written about this yet. Maybe because I just can't believe that we have lost yet another of our cats, this time or oldest one, Oreo. Our Patches is the only one left. She is 16.
I made the difficult decision to have him euthanized on June 22, a month and one day ago. I was hoping that he would make it to 17, but he missed it by a month. He was just too sick and it would have been cruel to let him hang on. I could tell that he was slowly dying and I couldn't watch him suffer any longer. He had also gone from 13 pounds down to five in a little over a year. When he had lost another pound in less than a month, I told the vet that it was time to let him go.
I love our vets. They have been through a lot with our pets since we have been going to them. When Molly had her surgery in November, they stayed at the office until we arrived with her after hours after having to take her up to Des Moines to have a catheter inserted into her bladder and took great care of her afterwards.
