Kate.
Very sadly, I have had to take my Dad's cat back and forth to the vets, she began losing weight
rapidly, over a period of days, and at 13 was very tiny and frail.
This evening, it was thought to be kinder for her to be put to sleep as she had a massive tumour.
Very sad for us all, as she was a link to my late Mum, who adored her, but then, I feel comforted
that they are together once again tonight.
I took this photo last weekend.

I have been away from PB Pat, I am late in my condolences. Only people who really care about their pets are able to make that very hard decision. It's OUR responsibility to make sure their quality of their life is better, because the QUANTITY will never be enough for us. You are what I call a very good pet parent.

She looks so sad Pat. What a shock to see her like this. She deteriorated so quickly. So sorry for your loss.

There is a sad look in her eyes there. A sadness you now bear... many sympathies.

Oh, what a sweetie. Beautiful shot of her. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Poor baby and I do believe that she is with your Mum too. I know it is sad as they are family members. Big hugs to you!!

I wanted to publicly apologize for earlier comment's light-heartedness. I had posted my comment before Pat had a chance to write the narrative. I'm so sad for Pat and her family.

Sad news Pat, pets become such a part of our families that it's sad to say good-bye

Hi Pat,
