Ash's abdominal tumor had metastasized to many of his internal organs, causing him to slow and eventually stop his food and water intake. I learned this earlier today, as an ultrasound was done to figure out what was going on with him, and once it was determined that it had spread that far, it seemed that the best choice was to let him go.
We just got back from putting him to sleep. I'm going to miss him.
[edit]
I think one of the hardest things I've ever had to do was leave his body at the vet's. He _hates_ the vet.
But he was purring before he died. And he'd been happy living with me.
And I'm kinda glad, in some respects, that my wrists have kept me out of work. It meant I'd been home a lot more with him.

Date: 2006-05-12 10:22 pm (UTC)this is...sudden, to me. pardon, i'm going to be reeling for a bit.
you know, aside from my great grandmother, he's the closest person to me who's died. and we weren't really close after i moved out. but i'm glad i got to see and pet him on sunday.

Date: 2006-05-13 04:32 am (UTC)my condolences...
Date: 2006-05-13 12:45 am (UTC)he's very weak now, I have hope that the chemo will give him back his quality of life, but I'm afraid it won't be very long.
at least you had each other, happy, to the end...

Date: 2006-05-13 12:45 pm (UTC)Sorry about Ash. But it's great that you were there for him so much at the end. A cat I grew up with and I were very attached to each other, and I've always regretted not being there for him at the end. I've gone out of my way to not let that happen again.

Date: 2006-05-14 02:46 am (UTC)If you add up all the chicken and prawns he had in his life, he got a pretty good deal.
He had a huge heart. And not just in the enlarged pathological sense.
I'll miss him resentfully purring when he realises it was me scritching him.

Date: 2006-05-18 09:32 pm (UTC)I have no doubt, reading your words, that he had a good life with you. Your love for him shows.
