Hi all
My first post on this forum is a sad one unfortunately
My cat, Mopi a neutered male who I got from a RSPCA shelter home in spring '04 was put to sleep at the vets yesterday.. He was nearly 16
After being diagnosed with congestive heart failure after his stay at the Pet hospital earlier in the week, he never returned to his old self when he came home.
He stopped purring, grooming or responding to people. Just wanted to be left alone on the sofa
He didn't eat for 5 days and by Saturday morning could barely walk.
The change in his behaviour from when he was handed to the vets on Monday and when he returned on Wednesday was stark !
I feel really guilty that by sending him for an overnight stay at the Pet hospital, it left him traumatized
I didn't want him to suffer
He was a lovely cat who lived a happy, long life, and will be dearly missed
I buried him in his favourite spot in the garden
Very upsetting time
