I've lost a cat twice. Both were my parents' cats but I was still living at home when they came to the family. The first one was ten months old when she was hit by a car. She was brought to us in Finnair plastic bag by a neighbour who had found her. The other was with my parents for 16 years and she was a much beloved pet. She became so ill that they had to take her to the vet one last time. You do what's best for Viski when the time comes.
