I am sad to say that my family lost our beloved siamese, Mia, on Thursday :-( The vet did some tests and found that she had Pancreatitis, Kidney failure, and bowel disease all at the same time, all incurable conditions. She was in obvious distress but we were able to give her some pain meds to keep her comfortable but we had to put her to sleep. She was very sweet and affectionate right up to the moment we lost her, despite being in severe pain.We may get another cat someday but we will wait until our vacation in May, the poor thing might forget who we are if we leave for 2 weeks! We are strongly considering rescuing a cat from an animal shelter as they are the most in need and also pure-bred cats tend to have health problems like Mia, it hurts too much to loose them.
