I had a feeling my Cat was not herself for a few weeks before I took her to the Vet she was losing weight she was Very low in energy but she was not suffering , I have spent every day with Tara she would be at my Ast Gallery in her Favorite seat as long as she was by me she would purr like a moter boat , but when i Knew you she was not quite as energetic and weight lose was acurring I readied myself for the possiblity of bad news she was tenty years old ,so idecide a few things No major operations or chemo no waiting for her to suffer, the doctor told me she had a large mass inside this tueday and he would call me back with the bloodwork on wednesday. her kindney and liver functions were fine but she was Severly enemic , I asked him if i could put her to sleep in her Favorite place my car, he agreed so on her final day I took her to the Local park where we spent many days and sat together , the I took her to my Gallery and had all her friends in to visit and pet her she ate two small cans of food purring like a dodge hemi, i then took her to the vet for the two stages 1 a tranquilizer after which we drove around for thirty minutes
the became tired and laid on the seat looking around but relaxed the doocter then came to my car and gave her the final injection. I cried and hurt terribly, but after two days I realized that she was sick for a longer time than I knew and never complained or let me know all she wanted was to be with me , so I did the right thing I put her to sleep before she suffered terribly and I let her have a great last day of the routine she loved i also tried not to act said in front of her but to give her as much love and praise ,and evry time she heard my voice her ears would perk up and she would purr she was never frieghtened or scared and had happiness to the end I was so lucky i could give her such a pieceful end but I owed it to her snd she died with her quality of life still at its height, My life has a big hole in it now but she will always be beside me purring or standing by my bed with a sock in her mouth asking for a late night snack. All i can do now is celebrate the twenty wonderful love filled years!
