My older cat, Puig, finally succumbed to his cancer, this weekend. He'd been on medication for several weeks, which had at first restored him to at least a semblance of normal health. But, as we knew it likely would, the cancer eventually became refractory to the meds. Puig's condition began to noticeably deteriorate again about a week ago. As of Friday night, he couldn't even stand up any more, and was making the most pitiful sounds. By morning, there was just no denying it, so I called the vet and we agreed that it was time.
He went peacefully.
