Thorncat passed last night.
She was our eldest cat, and a bit over 13 years old. Some of you might remember me posting about getting her as a kitten
We found out her kidneys were going a couple of years ago when she had surgery for cancer. The theory was that since the mass had wrapped around her urethra it exacerbated the impact cancer can have on the kidneys, and caused damage. We were trying to hold the line against further kidney degeneration, but they got a little bit worse every year. Then she got aenemia, then she got a UTI, then she quit eating at all.
She had gotten to the point where if she was still alive this morning I would have probably been on the phone to the vet to discuss extreme options. It is sad, but it was time.
