Our beloved cat, Peaches has been battling Diabetes for four years and more recently developed cancer in her mouth/jaw. She continued to have spunk and courage, but she was having great difficulty eating. She never complained, but we knew we had to give her the peace and relief she deserved. Thursday afternoon, I took her to our Vet and with the help of her assistant, Feng euthanized her. I had given her something to calm her about 1/2 hour before. Peaches growled when Feng clipped the hair on her leg and again when inserting the needle. I was able to pet her as she quickly passed on. Feng told me to make sure I told Diane that Peaches remained spunky to the very end.
I brought her home laying in familiar baby blankets curled up looking very comfortable in a box. We miss her. We were very accustomed to having to get up at 5:00 am every morning to test and feed her. At this time it seems only a small blessing that we can sleep in longer especially on weekends.
