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've been pretty broken up about it, off and on; but like you said, he had a good run. He was a pretty happy guy, until the illness really stareted in, a few weeks ago.

Zoe isn't moping the way Puig did when Delirium was taken away, but she's gotten much clingier & needier than usual.
