My brother has just emailed me to say that their cat, Mir, has a tumour and will be PTS today. They have been worried for some time about her losing weight, but took her to the vet recently on my advice, hoping it was a parasite problem that could be treated. She was a lovely tortie, and had two kittens last year, one of which they kept. Marmite will miss his mom, as they were good friends.
