Whiskey was put to sleep yesterday after collapsing in front of us for the 3rd time.
Clotting on his spine resulting in paralysis.. his hind leg hadn't yet regained use after the 2nd clot, and this time he just couldn't move.
He was set free aged 6/7 having spent all his life living at the shelter.
He came in as a kitten from a building site, and for some reason, this loving cat was never adopted. So he stayed to live with us, wandering out for exporations in the evening, sleeping in the cat cabin on the radiator at night, and returning 9am sharp to get first dibs on fresh ham and chicken from the kitchen.
He was a real favourite, and had the endearing habit of laying down like a stole around your neck and sucking your hair.
May he rest in peace xxxx
Back when all was well with Whiskey
The last two pics I ever took of him, with his bandaged hind leg to stop damage by dragging it.. last saturday..
He will be buried tomorrow alongside past loved ones who never found their final forever home, apart from the shelter.
Last night he was lain in the hallway tucked up on a pillow with a blanket draped up to his shoulders so the house cats could 'say goodbye' and tonight, the boss insisted his body be gently moved to the cat cabin so his feral friends who never enter the house may also pay their final respects.
