Today marks 5 months since I had to put my sweet cat to sleep. I had first got Tiger when I was 10 years old as a Birthday present. She was almost 19 years old and had lived a pretty healthy life until she got cancer in her intestine. I tried everything but her body just wasn't responding to any combination of the medication. In a matter of months she went from a healthly 8 1/2 pound kitty to just around 4 pounds. She was nothing but fur and bones The last week and half of her life she didn't eat anything at all and was so weak she could barely walk. So on Sunday the 25th of August I decided she had had enough and I just couldn't watch her suffer anymore.

The procedure was fast and I hope painless. Even though I know I had tried everything I still felt like I had failed her. She had always been there for me and I just couldn't make the cancer go away. She had been my best friend for most of my life. I can barely remember life before her. I love her so much and not a day goes by that I don't think of her.
