I am so, so, so sorry about your kitty. I had to put mine down this year too, although she was healthy. Circumstances with my ABF caused my son and I to have to move around quite a bit, then I had to leave her someplace for a bit because I had to move in with my parents and they refused to let her stay. then she supposedly "attacked" the lady that was taking care of her. Long story short, the state of MA told me I had to put her down. Magnolia hated my ABF because of the way he treated me, so when I told him, he said he was glad about it. Effing alcoholics have no clue the range of damage they do. Sometimes I get really sick of the "disease" claim.
