Oh dear,
Our lovely 17year old felix look a like cat was finally put to sleep yesterday at about 6.45 -
I got him for DH shortly after we got married for as part of a Christmas Present before we had Children. He was diagnosed with diabetes about 18 mths ago and he didn't respond properly to the treatment. The poor wee fella looked dreadful he was all tatty and looked unloved but he was loved. He had become incontinent and then over the last week he wasn't eating properly (typical as DH was away) Then yesterday DH said he felt that poor old Mr Spock was on his last legs so I nipped across the road to the vet and asked him what the proceedure was.
The Vet rang later and asked if we would bring him in so I rang Mr T who wasn't happy with me as he then felt rushed into it. When Mr T got in DS gave him a load of Chicken Breast and he ate the lot so I was confident that Mr T was just looking on the dark side and convinced him to take the cat to vet to get checked for thyroid problems and a couple of other illnesses that older cats suffer from. I spoke to the vet about the tests and sent Mr T & DS off with the cat - they were gone a while and came back without him poor DS was beside himself with grief - he's a real softie and loved his cat it was his job to give insulin, feed the cat and clean up his poos etc. (DD didn't say much). It was all a bit sudden really because I'm off to Ireland tonight for my Nieces confirmation tomorrow. I'm calling the vets later to ask for his ashes back so we can bury him.
Poor DH and DS - I was allergic to him so wasn't very involved in his care but I did love the poor little fella and am still trying to get my head round the fact that I sent him off to meet his end. He had such a lovely little face and was as cute as a button.
We won't be getting another one though we'll never get another spock back so he can't be replaced we are just going to enjoy our memories of him. He survived living on 2 main roads - our first house and now this one but he had a lovely life in the middle when we lived in a house that was built on a small piece of land a farmer sold off the house faced the farm house I would often watch Spock trot off though the park opposite the house then make his way across the field towards the cows, find one lying down then lie down and curl up against one.
Aaaahhh We will all miss our lovely little man.
Bye Bye Spocky.
