We had Tango put to sleep yesterday :( he had been ill for 18 months with Feline triad disease so there was no treatment the vet could give us, he was ok most of the time but would be sick every 6 weeks or so for a couple of days, but fine the rest of the time.
He got sick on Monday and slept under a bush outside for the day, usually he perks up by the afternoon but he didn't this time, Tuesday morning his breathing was raspy and he couldn't walk more than a few steps, we knew it was time.. the vet said he could put him on a drip and see, but said it probably wouldn't work and even if it did it Tango would only live for a few more weeks, We didn't want him to suffer anymore, I stayed with him till the end.
My heart is broken again, I remember helping his mum give birth to him when he got stuck, 15 years ago now when I was only 11 years old... we grew up together, now hes gone to be with his sister Courtney who died suddenly in Dec 2006.
We showed the other cats his body as we'd done with Courtney, they all came and sniffed him and understood.... then we took him to my mums and buried him next to Courtney, the other cats are quite down today and yowled unusually in the night... its heart breaking.
I am so great full to have had 15 years with such a gentle loving beautiful cat - my sunshine ! I miss him so much already .
Goodbye Tango xx
