I'm so, so sad. The vet has just told me that my dear, wonderful fur baby is terminally ill. He has diabetes with complications, so treatment is not recommended. We've had him for almost 14 years, and he has brightened up every single day of them. A happy cat-life is now coming to an end.

We must put him to sleep very shortly. I always knew this day would come, but I didn't realize how painful it would be. Please send some comforting thoughts my way today.
