another just not a good day...Had to help our 19, (maybe 20

Post by davet »

year old cat, Ethyl get some peace...she has been in an allmost coma for 24 hours and decided that is not fair...so i boosted her along...i strongly suspect Chronic Interstitial Nephritis,,,have suspected this for a while and there was no way i was going to let her go through all the treatment that might have given her another month at most.....Will put her in the back yard tomorrow with all the other pets,,probably have about 20 buried back there....

Davet, I'm so very sorry.....how difficult this must have been for you. She was so fortunate to have you and Corinne all these years.

Safe and gentle journey, sweet Ethyl, you will be greatly missed :cry:

So sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Ethyl knows how much you loved her, and you gave her such a happy, nice long life!!! She is at the bridge now with all the other precious furbabies.

Oh my, I am so very sorry. I remember you posting some pictures of her and how good she looked for her age. She had a long life with you and your family.

Chloe and Honeybun send her purrs!!
