CATAGORIES: FAMILY,I hate it when this happens,NEWS & BREAKING NEWS & FOLLOW-UP,OUCH!,Poodah Ben Purr — Yarbz @ 9:35 am

We’re putting Satchmo to sleep in about 1 hour. He seems to know for some reason. He is crying and he has never done that before.

He can’t drink water anymore and he has a tough time swallowing… I imagine it’s like if I had a super bad sore throat. He has been unable to clean himself like he used to… He was a meticulously clean cat. He was crusty and stinky yesterday so Mariann and I gave him a warm bath and shampooed him. After he was dried he seemed to be very happy with how he looked. It’ll be real tough at the vet office but we both know we’re doing the right thing… He is just beginning to be unhappy and unable to function. Our other cat, Ella, doesn’t give a crap…

Anyway, that is what is happening on this 35 degree rainy Wednesday morning…
