We had to put our cat Vito to sleep today.

25. Oh, so sorry, Tobin!!!

I just lost my 18 year old Bombay about 10 days ago. She also had cancer (colon) and lost a lot of weight. I also got her from a no-kill shelter 10 years ago, and for the last 5 she's been living with my dad so he wouldn't be so lonely after Mom died. In fact, the vet was ready to put her down on Jan 6, but that was the exact 5 yr anniversary of my mom's death, so we kept her home and let her fade naturally.

I'll tell you what I told my dad (and what you and Jen already know) You gave Vito an amazing life, probably adding a few years to it when you brought him home from the shelter. He died without pain, and knew you guys loved him. And best of all, he's beyond suffering now.

Happy Trails, Vito! May all your paths be filled with catnip from now on.
