Thanks, she was older for a cat and the prognosis of surgery wasn’t great and in the best case she’d have suffered recovery for low odds, still felt horrible holding her in my arms as the vet injected the sedative, she was trying to play with the vet prior to that, I had her (and her brother) their entire lives bar a few weeks, neighbours found the litter and we took a pair.

My ex wanted cats, I was never a fan but her and her brother wormed their way into my heart in a way I never expected, I’m not going to get another though, my missus isn’t a huge fan but more than that they don’t live long enough compared to us and it really hurts too much because of that.
