Today we had to put my sweet cat tux to sleep. He was diagnosed with possible FIP and kidney failure. Only 25% of his kidneys were functioning and he stopped eating and drinking a few days ago. He was four years old.
The Cat Hospital here is excellent. We brought him in and they let us stay in a comfortable room with him, with the lights low and a little fountian. It was a very nice atmosphere. They used a sedative first, and then, while I held him in my lap and arms, they put him to sleep. It was so peaceful, and so much nicer then the last time I had to put a cat to sleep.
I got him when he was six months old. We put my cat Cleo to sleep and it took for ever for me to convince my mom to let me get another cat. I saw him, and knew instantly, he would be comming home with me. He would go into parts of the house by himself, and sit there and meow, till we reminded him where we were; like he got lost. He insisted on being in the bathroom with you, in the kitchen with you, on the back porch while my room mate smoked. . . He slept on my moms pillow. I am going to miss him terribly, but I know he feels so much better now.
Sleep well my love, and tell Cleo I said Hello.
