It's a sad day at our house today. Claus was getting thinner and thinner even before we moved. He had almost stopped eating. There were numerous tests. One was even sent to Texas A&M. But there wasn't anything physically wrong. Just his emotional/mental issues come back to play havoc in his life.
Claus' story can be found here. Claus was a sweet natured cat. Meek. Gentle. Fun loving. He loved to watch bird videos on YouTube. Last winter, he used to sit on my lap in the evenings and I'd play a video or 2 on my laptop for him.
But his emotional demons came back to haunt him. What caused that to happen? I have no idea. The move to the new house made the situation worse. He rarely ate and was living under the bed. Teddy even disconnected from him in the last days. The vet said animals can emit an odor to keep other animals from being near them.
He was unhappy and so very thin. And he was peeing on the floor again.
I agonized over what to do. I got the opinions of my family and DH. In the end, I made the appointment. I got him in first thing this morning.
If there is a kitty heaven, I hope he is happier there than he was here in this life.
Maybe he is watching bird videos on YouTube.... I hope so.
