Im so sorry for your loss. It cant be easy to go through something like this. Two of my cats are getting older (10 and 7) and i get anxious just thinking about losing them. I am sure you gave them a warm and loving home and they loved you. I think, in the end, that's all that matters- the love you gave and received from them. Thanks for that.I had to put my 2 sweet indoor cats down last week. An only telling you this because it taught me what to watch for. Ezra was 19 but in perfect health. 2 weeks ago she was very disoriented and her back legs kept failing her. Took her to the vet who ran all the tests (that came back fine) and he said she was just dehydrated. 2 days later she was bumping into everything and very distraught. I think a stroke or something left her blind and messed with her neurological system. The vet missed that part I guess when he checked her retinas. Charlie was always an energetic cat at 10 and loved people. He started hiding, not eating, and puking green liquid right after drinking water. He had been to the vet 2 months before and got a clean bill of health. Last week when I took him in he had massive tumors all over his stomach and kidneys that had been growing for about 2 months according to the new doctor. Cats are so good about hiding illness to protect themselves so anytime they act differently take note. They can no longer hide it and are in need of help. What I would give to have those two back.
Cats are definitely very good at hiding their illnesses and suffering. All we can do is hope that we figure out the problem before it's too late. I wish you healing thoughts
