Dave is back from the vet, where FatKitty has been diagnosed with a heart disease, advanced dental disease, and a probable UTI, on top her diabetes. Each of those things require testing and treatment, none of them with guaranteed outcomes for a diabetic cat of 13, so we will be putting her to sleep on Friday. I am crying at my desk. This sucks. The vet was very understanding of the situation, doesn’t think we are awful pet owners for not going all-out, so that’s good. I can’t write more.

I’m so sorry, I remember when we had to put our cat to sleep and it was peaceful for her but horrible for us. I’ll be thinking of you guys.
Ohhh! I’m so sorry to hear that. This is so stupid, because I haven’t even met YOU, let alone your cat, but I am getting all teary about it. Internet hugs from a stranger for you and your family. Feed miss Fat some disgusting snacks she likes this week. I hope everything goes smoothly and peacefully and that one day you can tell miss Ingrid all kinds of happy memories about how she and Fatkitty were good pals in her first year.
well shit! I’m so sorry, lots of hugs for you and headbutts and nuzzles for fatkitty!
That sucks. I’m so sorry.
Oh, I’m so so sorry. I’m so glad that Ingrid got this first year with Fatkitty, and you got to enjoy them together for so long. Thinking of your family.
I’m so sorry. Those pets just know how to work their way into our hearts. Give her some tuna and even some cheese this week. I’ll be thinking about you guys.
I am sending some virtual ear scritches and gentle tail pulling your and fatkitty’s way… 🙁
I am very sorry Gretchen.
gretchen I am so sorry. I didn’t see this until today. ((())) I’ll be thinking of you.
Oh, big hugs. That’s a hard choice to make, but you’re doing what you need to do. FatKitty had 13 years full of love. Not that that makes it hurt any less.
Hugs to you all. Fatkitty was lucky to have you, Dave, and Miss Ingrid in her life.
So sorry to hear about FatKitty, gretchen. Keeping you in my thoughts.
I had no idea. . .I have been sooo busy with getting ready to move, that I hadn’t read your blog. I hope you can forgive me! Hugs and kisses, and I’m sorry-
