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 - but I know he had the best possible care with you, and it sounds like he had a perfect final day.

Yami gave me a big scare on the 26th which I still need to type up in a coherent fashion. Cats, eh? :/

Poor Yami. As they get older, they cause us stress! Now if only Kuro would eat more normally, I could stop worrying about him too....
