Yesterday our sweet Oreo shattered her femur. We think that our 6mo old puppy, who never bothers or jumps on the cat really, had jumped up on the window on her bed and hit her just right with his paw. We didn't see it happen, so we can't be sure. Oreo would turn 16yrs old next week. She was overweight too, so those two things were against her. She would have need a bone graft, plates, screws in her leg and months of recovery. She had a minimal surgery to remove a growth last Sept that was tough for her. She's been slowing down, hard to jump up, making weird noises that the vet could find nothing wrong with. The surgery would have been $4500-$6000. Now I would go in debt for my animals, but we felt like we would have done that more for us to keep her around another couple years (hopefully). But I still feel terrible having made that decision and just run around all the what ifs in my head. I know it was a freak accident but I cant help feel blame for myself, my husband and my dog. I pray we made the right decision for her. She was the sweetest cat ever. My parents always said boy cats were friendlier. Well we didnt know what we picked out at the farm that day but she was a girl, and the friendliest cat ever. She's moved like 9 times with us. She was our first pet together that we got after a couple months of dating. We loved her so much and I'm heartbroken.
