Bye Bye Boog

[tiggymalvern]

Boog cat got worse over the Christmas period - he went off his food and was lethargic and his respiratory rate increased. The cancer had spread to his lungs, so we euthanased him yesterday. Only 7 weeks earlier, his chest x-rays had been clear. Such is the aggressive nature of adenocarcinoma. He never even got chance to start his chemo, we cancelled it because he was obviously deteriorating. But he spent his last afternoon sitting on laps and purring, which is all an ill cat can ask for.

I'm so sorry... it is always hard to lose a pet like that. It sounds like you did all you could and he had a happy life, though.

It is hard, but they bring us so much delight in all the years before they go, it's so worth it.
