I apologize for horrible english, it’s my second language,but I hope you can understand the story.
My persian cat called Fergie was put down to sleep yesterday. I had her given to me on my birthday, and she looked very cute and was a very good cat. When she got little bit older we started to notice that she is licking her self like crazy,and eventually she developed bold spots on her belly and legs, we took her to the vet and even they did not know what is going on with her,they assumed it was alergy. So they recommended special food for her, but nothing seem to help. Finaly vet started to inject her with something im not sure what it was but as far as my dad told me it was prednisolon. It did indeed help her to stop constantly scratching her self till she bleeds,so her hair started to grow up back again, but the thing is every 1~2months she was getting again in condition when she needed injection to stop licking her self to blood. She lived like this for like 6~7 years with injections every 1~2months. Last month of her life was the worst she started to lose hair on her back and wounds started to appear. We waited untill wounds on back healed, and she was still licking her belly and arms till they became red and, one of her nipples swollen and turned a bit black, I knew that she wont last much longer,but we just could not see her licking herself to the bloody wounds, becouse all she did was lick hr self and bite, nothing even matter to her at the time, so we took her for last shot, and it was prednisolon that made her body colapse. On her elbow opened massive wound which as the vet told my dad when he brought her to him, it was deep to the bone, same thing happen with her chin and also on her stumick near nipple,and her mouth was full of wounds too, there was no other choice but put her to sleep. So basicly she lived all her life with injections every 1~2months, in order to stop her licking herself to death. But once she had injection she was perfectly normal cat, she did not lick no more,she was eating laying,always asking for attention, all family members loved her so much, and she had most amazing face I ever saw on a cat. The last view of my cat I remember is her sitting on a table with her jaw bleeding and elbow leaking blood,I did not even saw how bad her stumick was, but I knew that this might be the last time I see her, and it was, I went to work and after few hours my dad call me and told me they must put my cat to sleep, becouse all they could of done was make her live 1~2 weeks max and she would be in lots of pain. So I gave permision to stop her suffering and put her to sleep. It was hard for me to not cry at work,but I held myself strong. But as soon as I went to my front door I started to cry and once I got in I room I collapsed on my knews and cried like I never cried before,I finally realised I will never be able to hold her again. And what hurts me the most is that she was never bringing any problems to us,she was probably best attitude cat that u can ever have, she loved us and we loved her so much,but cruel fate gave her unknown allergy that made her suffer all her life, we knew these injections is killing her,but without them she could not live at all, she was constantly licking herself till she went bald. I blame myself for not even saying goodbye to her when I went to work, but I honnestly could not stand the view of blood leaking out of her chin and elbow,it was breaking my heart. So now I feel guilty for it, I just hope that she did knew how much I loved her, and I would give anything in the world just to hold her again and at least say goodbye… I still can’t stop suffering of her being gone, and memories about her makes me cry, I am 23 years old man but I cry like a little girl. I can't erase last image of her bleeding on table, it makes me cry every time i think about it.
