damn, i remember that sissy cat! sad to hear he's made his way out. even if he's a punk, he's still a cat and they're one of god's greatest creatures that we're blessed to spend our time with. sorry about that hun.
my hardest decision was also putting my cat down. i still question it. she was older too, had stage two kidney disease. she was getting cranky and attacked one of the bunnies, very unlike her as she grew up around them and was good with them. that bunny ended up losing their eye to the attack. i had to make a decision. i still struggle with it.
then that same bunny, i had to put down a year later due to a mysterious and sudden illness. i struggle with that one too. she was seen by multiple vets, had xrays and tests done, but after a day at the vet's she went downhill pretty fast and hard. i had to make the call that night. was it the right thing to do? should i have tried more, or would that have only prolonged her suffering?
which leads me to my bunny, daisy. i spent thousands over the course of six months trying to save her, only for her quality of life to continue to go down and in the end having to put her down. it's hard. you want to give them every chance, while also not making them suffer in the process.
these things keep me up at night.
