On Monday my fiance and I had our beautiful cat put to sleep. Tara approached me in a parking lot over 11 years ago, I found out she was a stray, so I brought her home and she was a part of my life ever since. I think she was part Siamese because she had blue eyes and a loud meow--especially when she was hungry!:tounge2:
She had the sweetest disposition, she would come and sit on my lap to supervise me whenever I sat at the computer.
Last Sunday, she began having trouble breathing. It was a very rough day. Dan and I were both in tears many times as we watched our poor baby. His sister took her to the vet on Monday, as I was at work, and Dan was too upset.
We found out she had a tumor in her sinus cavity. Even if the vet had found it before, the only treatment is daily antibiotics, which can be difficult to give each day due to the breathing problems.
My main consolation is the other cat we found this summer, just a baby still. I also know that we rescued Tara from a tough life on the streets and brought her into a world of love and comfort. I know we will see her again. I just miss her terribly now.
