Back in April, I posted in the Behavior Forum about my two cats, Loki and Cat. The older of the two, Cat, had gone to the vet to have teeth pulled and the two cats never reconciled despite many, many efforts. Cat had been living in isolation since then, with daily visits to play. Well, the stress of being unresolved began to take its toll and then his bodily functions began to not work right with constant loose bowels and crying. Unable to find a new home for this special needs cat, I had the awful task of taking him to the vet yesterday....
When I discovered this section of the web site, it just brought tears to my eyes. How sad I am that a sweet kitty is no longer with us. While I realize it would have been even more stressful on Cat to place him in a no-kill shelter, I just hate how this story ended. Yes, he was 12-13 years old and struggling but it just hurts.
I have learned so much from this site and I appreciate everyone's sense of community and effort.
