Poor Tabby

When saying good-bye is the only answer But our 18-year-old tabby is ravished with cancer Never complains Lives with the pain The alternative is hard to accept with candor

Hello Happy Jack, it is hard to accept when a pet is sick. The whole family suffers because they love the cat. I know it is hard. Been through it with my niece's dog. We were all upset. have a nice day my friend. xxx-oooo.

Pets become part of the family! It's very difficult to make that choice when it comes! :( Love, Happy Jack XOX

Such a shame when it gets to that stage but it's the kindest thing to let them go and it's not until later that you realise that.

For we humans to have the power to say, "you will die today" no matter the results or determination of a vet!!! What if he is wrong? To have the power of life or death disturbs me! Unless there is a very noticeable decline in their actions or overall daily appearance, it's a very difficult decision to make... to have that power of life or death!
