Had to put this boy down today. He started getting sick about 2 weeks ago. Several vet trips for SQ fluids and antibiotics. He was approx 16 years old. I took him in for more fluids and an enema because he could not defecate. Vet said he temp was 2 degrees cooler than a week ago that was already low and said his system was shutting down. It was pretty hard to do but I couldn't let him suffer.
He was a great mouser and if you left cloths basket out he would "kill" socks and underwear and leave them scattered through the house. Yowling loudly at his 2 am kills. He was the softest cat and also one of the most gentle. He was a good boy and I will miss him.
