So sad - Jaffa went to sleep at the vets at 4.55pm today - i bawled, hubby bawled, it was time to let her go. The vet was fabulous, and it was so quick............and so peaceful
she hadnt eaten properly since wed,(couldnt tempt her with anything, not even her favourite things, she might take a tiny morsel but no more)she only drank a little, peed very little and moving was an effort - she was sleeping in such an odd manner and last night and today when she did move she just flopped down, and curling up to sleep in strange ways she has never done before - she looked at me today and looked so weary i knew it was time to let her go
she was a feisty girl, used to bat the other cats around the head to tell them off - even if they had done nothing wrong she would run across the room to do it, just so they knew who was in charge
i brought her home so the other cats could see she was gone, they all had a sniff, a look, looked at me and wandered off - they know she is gone
was strange feeding 4 cats instead of five tonight - we will miss her loads (just glad daughter was home from uni, so she got to be with her for the last three weeks of her life)
RIP Jaffa (alias - jafpuss, guffer, jafferoo, jafjaf) 1992 - 2010
thanks for letting me share - there is a gap on my sofa
