 Kasey Kat - my all time favorite cat. Kasey had been having problems for a couple weeks but it got worse Friday. He wouldn’t eat and drank very little. Very lethargic . Took him to the vet Saturday and got a fluid infusion and a shot to stimulate his appetite. He didn’t improve and was worse this morning. Took him to the vet and they did an ultra sound and X-ray. He had fluid around and some in his lungs with a slight heart murmur. I’ve been treating him for hyperthyroidism for the last three and half years keeping him alive. He was close death back then with hyperthyroidism and histoplasmosis. In fact t I had already dug his grave but he snapped out of it the morning we were going to put him down. God gave us three snd a half more years. Any treatment was extensive and no guarantee it would even work. We decided what was best was put him down. Heartbroken but it is the best we could do for him. He would have been 18 in January. RIP Kasey Kat.. 🥲 . |

Sorry to hear that Woody.
It's amazing how an animal can become a family member and how deep the hurt is when you lose them. We have a cat that is hanging on but she has kidney disease and we're going to have to put her down before long.
It's just such a tough thing to do.

Rest in peace Kasey Kat. Heck of a good run.
Growing up we had several that made it between 17-21yo. They offer love as consistent as a sunrise.

Sorry to hear this Woody.
We never had a house cat.
Our cats were all “mousers” living their lives in the barns and around the farm.
So I don’t know how long any of our cats lived but
~18 years old seems like a good long life.
Hold fast to the good memories!
