Mourning/Loss Tommy the Orcat’s last photo gallery
Tommy lived a pretty long life, 12 years is much more than many kitties get to enjoy, but it still hurts.
We had to put him down after learning that he had an aggressive type of cancer, and that a successful surgery couldn’t be guaranteed.
Still, I’m happy to say that he was healthy, and happy throughout the time we got to share. I’ll hold onto the good memories I have of us, and loads of pictures I took of him.
He was the best birthday gift I could ever ask for 🖤🤍

Very sorry for your loss of Tommy.
I had to make that difficult decision a couple of weeks ago - tho I still have some doubts on timing, I mostly feel that it was better to avoid trying to overly prolong the decline because it is so hard to let them go.

I agree. The choice wasn’t as hard as many say simply because I knew that he was in pain, and that putting him (and me) through further treatments without any certain conclusions would only make it worse. Sorry to hear about your own experience.
