He had stopped eating and pooping. This morning he was totally comatose and lethargic, so we took the decision to give him peace. He is a friend sadly missed.

It takes ages to get over it and I think you have another cat which will miss James.

I find the only consolation is, we can help them out of their pain and suffering, when all hope of recovery has gone.

We had to allow the vet to put Harry to sleep last night round 8pm, his heart had become very bad the past couple of days and yesterday when I got home from work he was quite cold, getting colder and more tired as the evening went on, and very thirsty (most likely dehydrated), so we brought him to the vet who said his body was basically systematically shutting down as the heart was now so bad that the blood wasn't getting to all necessary parts of the body. So he mustered up the slightest wag of the tail, a tiny kiss each for me and my hubby, then he fell asleep in his favourite place, lying on my tummy and chest, he fell asleep with his head on my shoulder quite quick and peaceful. I sobbed my heart out but the vet was so considerate. Bob was running about trying to find him last night and he was a bit miffed this morning being put outside on his own (after 4 weeks with Harry for company) and he's been sticking to me like glue this morning. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through work today, distraction I guess.
