A sad, sad day
Today has been rubbish as far as days go....
This morning, my cat was ill, all sleepy and depressed, so i took her to the vet... literally, i got up, saw her, put her in a cat-box and left for the vet... She was that ill looking.
Thankfully, the vet saw her within 5 minutes of me arriving....
She suspected a tumor and whisked her off to the vet hospital for blood tests and x-rays....
about an hour later i got a phone call to say she was anemic and had a tumor in her intestine... an inoperable tumor..... the vet had called to say the kindest thing to do would be to put her to sleep.
I managed to grab a lift and got there to see my cat in a very sorry state.... so poorly
it was particularly worrying as two days ago, she was fine.... so the vet did what she had to do, and my cat had a very peaceful ending....
Thank god we can do for pets what we cannot do for humans..... give them a dignified and peaceful end to their lives when it becomes clear there is no future other than continual suffering and pain.

hey, thanks for the comment.
so sorry you had to have your cat put to sleep. i dread the thought of having to make a decision like that with my dog. death is so much harder for me to deal with when it comes to animals, for some reason.
=(

i really tried to like soccer. it was so entertaining to watch my younger cousin play in a tournament before the world cup started, but it all went downhill when i started watching the pros play.
i'll try again in four years!
