I was going to stay away from this thread, but I just can't! LOL!

I want to say I was in the same position as Joe was in two times last year with 2 different cats that I have raised from tiny babies. I had my cats longer than my daughter has been alive! I loved them dearly, but one came down with some form of cancer. His abdomen kept retaining fluid and the vet could drain it, he would be ok for a few days, and it would fill back up. I LOVED THIS ANIMAL and had the option of continuing the draining and the exploratory surgery, lots of expense, and so on, and made the decision that Caesar, my boy, did not want that. It was hard to do. But I speak as one here also that PTS a treasured pet, and I did grieve over it, and it hurt like hell, but I feel it was the right thing to do.
