best. cat. ever.

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.

I am so sorry, I was really hoping he'd pull through.

Thanks, H: I was hoping he'd scrape by this time, too. But it turned out that it was cancer, and, as you & I discussed a few weeks ago, the prognosis in that case wasn't good.

As someone else said, too much of this going around.
