Love, old age, and Moose

It's very difficult to let go, but there is a quality of life to consider. Our 21-yr old could not walk any more, so was lying in urine. She was fine otherwise, but how does one help an old cat who can't walk? She was very arthritic and was probably in a lot of pain. We tried medication, but....

I am going to go to the Buffet twice a week now as My Mr Purr LOVES White Chicken and My Found Cats Angels can treat their Awesome Angels Friends twice a week now!!

Moose sounds like quite a kitty. The article is very well written and thought provoking. Now I wonder what we'll do when the time comes to make the decision for our Groucho, and the time will come. I can only hope we'll do what's best for him with the comfort from Groucho knowing how very much he's loved.
