Those of you that read my Facebook already know this, but... it looks as though I'm going to have to put my cat down after the 16th (that's when I'll have the money to do it). I have had this cat for about 20 years, now. He followed me home one day (he was full grown) when I was about four. He's been my baby for pretty much my whole life... he's my familiar, and I cannot begin to describe how the thought of putting him down tears me apart.
It's best for him, though. He's about 24 years old, and I believe he is slightly arthritic. He has incontinence problems... and we have a baby at the house, so we can't really have that happening. Last I saw him, he'd lost a lot of weight... apparently he's not eating as he used to, and he is having troubles keeping anything down. I'm not certain how happy he is with life right now.
I just hope that the one place I've found that I can afford (60 bucks instead of 140 or more) will let me be with him when they put him down.
*sigh* thus is life.
Now I just have to decide if I'm doing it before I go camping, or after.
