But, he went from a normal weight of 19 lbs. to just over 12 by the time his time had come.

The vet could feel and see his ribs. I had not noticed but then again, I was in a state of shock and major denial when he fell ill.

I'm still so very sad about losing the two of them that I have not adopted any more cats.

Damn near finished me off losing the two of them so close together like that. I don't think I'll ever get over it.
