Our cat was put to sleep today - tribute to Mr pickles
He was 18 years old, he had previously been hit by a car many years ago which led to an op at the super vets, which led to a life on cissapride and lactulose but my word he still lived a great life with us and we kept him going for ten years after the incident, but this morning, alas, he could keep going no more.
He had a HR of 300 and breathing difficulties, we took him to the vet and she recommended putting him to sleep.
It's absolutely broken my heart. I've never had a human child so he was very much my son and my reason for getting up in the morning. We had hours and hours of cuddles everyday, we had such an amazing bond.
I WFH alone every day and he was a lovely little distraction, giving me cuddles all day and generally distracting me from working.
God I'm going to miss him (I can't stop crying!) and putting him to sleep this morning was the hardest decision we've ever made, but it was the right one.
There is just an absolutely massive gap to fill in my life now and I don't know how I'm going to cope :-(
Picture of Mr pickles attached on this post so he can live on and you can see how handsome he is.
I don't know what I'm looking to achieve in posting this, I guess a part of me feels better telling you about my amazing cat.
Thank you for reading.
