No more pets?

That's what George says everytime we talk about getting another cat or dog!! I keep telling him "so that's what YOU say"!!

That's always been funny up until today!!

Today, we are watching our beautiful Tiny cat die slowly. Several weeks ago he stopped eating and went anorexic on us. The vet said that he has lipidosis...it happens when a cat stops eating and their fatty acids build up in their liver. The prognosis wasn't good. He stayed at the vet for a day or two and they force fed him and hydrated him and he came home. The vet doesn't know why he stopped eating. Tiny has always been our cat with emotional problems...pulling his hair out, pooping and not covering and marking his territory when we had a female cat because he hated her - although he was fixed!!

When he came home, we were expected to force feed him. That didn't work well from the get go!! I thought after a few tries at force feeding that we should let him go!!

So today, we are on a death watch. His paws and his ears are cold and his second eye covers half of his eyes. I wanted him to die at home so we could bury him in the back yard but I may not be able to wait that long.

So I decided that if he is still alive tomorrow morning when the vet opens, I will take him and have him put out of his misery!! The vet can send him to Tooth Acres and they will cremate him and spread his ashes on the grounds. He would join Topper, the female we had to put to sleep last year with FL.

Blech!! Not sure I ever want another pet at this point! Two cats down, one to go!!

Pray for me!
