I had to put down my 16 year old cat yesterday and feeling a tad blue. He was sickly and had recently been dx with heart disease kept losing weight. poor thing was down to 7.2 lbs. 10 years ago he wighed 24. I finally made the decision when he could not jump on my lap on the couch anymore as he was getting weak. thankfully he did not appear to be in pain or troubles breathing. He just faded away. So we had alittle funeral but I miss him already. i have had him almost half my life.My fantastic 6yo son helped his Dad dig his grave. Such a little helper ErinM
