The 18 year old cat crossed The Rainbow Bridge today. Two weeks ago he could jump onto our mantel, but 2 days ago all hell broke loose. The vet administered some drugs that helped but then the results of the blood screening came in and he had from days to weeks to live. He also could not walk. And he was in serious pain. Severe anemia and getting worse. Stage four kidney disease. He was a fighter to the end!kcowan wrote:We have had a cat for 17 years. There was one bout with the vet that cost $3k when he was 5. But aside from that, it is just cat food and litter. It is included in our food budget. Huge bags of clumping litter wherever it is on sale. Mixture of dry and wet food for variety. A small can a day of wet and a bag of dry every month. But we have been lucky. (Friends have spent over $12000 on their cat on medical and special diet.)
RIP Boots!
