I had to put him to sleep Monday. I found Smokey(aka old man...
in 98 fed him and when we moved in sep 2001 I took him with us and made him a inside only cat(had his own room for 4 years!)..estimate he was about 16 yo when he passed. He had arthritis and had trouble getting around and also had bad teeth. He was 26.9 lbs! My good old man purred the whole way to vets and in office I flea combed him until the gave him sedative. He looked so helpless as he laid there on chest. He was a MASSIVE cat all muscle. I never found out exactley when he was born or where he came from(ppl told me they saw him in the late 80s so might be older...) I knew last year he was having some trouble getting around in winter and knew he wouldnt make it another but still so awful to look at his spot and him not being there
